Dracula bloodline originates from the 15th-century House of Drăculești, a branch of the Basarab dynasty in Wallachia. Vlad II Dracul (“the Dragon”) established the line, but it is most famously associated with his son, Vlad III Dracula (Vlad the Impaler). This historical line is also linked to the British Royal Family through Queen Mary. [1, 2, 3]
