Rumours abound that Vlad also ate the flesh, and drank the blood of his enemies, often holding dinner parties next to the freshly impaled. He was very proud of his work, and anyone who showed disdain while looking upon the thousands of putrefying corpses would soon suffer the same fate.
But when I spoke to him for my new TV show Wild Carpathia, he told me he can trace his ancestry back, through his great-grandmother Queen Mary, to the half-brother of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula. Prince Charles seemed quite amused by his dark lineage.
A friend took him to visit the monastery, near Bucharest, where Vlad is buried and showed him his grave. ‘So I do have a bit of a stake in the country,’ he joked. Prince Charles has been visiting Transylvania – the home of his infamous ancestor – for more than a decade and feels passionately that it’s the last corner of Europe where there’s still a real balance between mankind and nature.
The study showed that 18-month-old mice who had been received eight transfusions of young blood had a much easier time making it through the a watery maze than the old mice who had not received any transfusions.
"They were 18 months old but they were acting much younger, like a four to six-month-old," said Dr. Villeda, one of the lead researchers.

So, how does a blood drinking ruler from the 15 th century tie to the modern royal family? Well, incredibly, Prince Charles’ bloodline goes back to Vlad the Impaler-

What point are you trying to make here? So the royal family is related to Vlad. Not really a surprise.
Are you surprised by Charles' amusement? I'm not. It's ancient history. Nothing can be done to change it.
What the mouse study has to do with it I don't know. Are you implying they knew back then what we're supposedly figuring out now? That's a little tenuous.
I know this is not proof of anything so before the haters come into this thread, be aware I am posting this in Skunk Works for a reason
But, could these scientific revelations and royal bloodline lineages be somehow linked? What may have been practised out in the open many hundreds of years ago may have been forced underground, still going on to this day but now done in secret without the public aware of the reality?

Question.
The mice given the younger blood, did they ingest it or was it given intravenously? I would think that ingesting the blood, thereby sending it through the digestive system, might destroy part or all of the blood's "therapeutic" aspects. Just a guess, though.
S&F for a great thread.
