Non-musical history for today: 1476 – Vlad the Impaler defeated Basarab Laiota with the help of Stephen the Great and Stephen V Báthory. He became the ruler of Wallachia for the third time. Vlad was not a vampire. The name “Dracul” means “song of the dragon,” which he obtained from his father because his father was installed as the head of the Order of the Dragon. He definitely employed some cruel tactics and served as a mere basis or inspiration for Bram Stoker’s titular character.

Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for November 26.

Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios at Liberty Plaza.
