King Samual Pickerton

Samual Pickerton was the second legitimate son of Salomon Pickerton , He was known for his membership in the Order of the Dragon- a militant fraternity founded by Holy Roman Emperor Sigismond. Samual seized Wallachia after he killed and impaled his half-brother Alexander Aldea. The earliest stories about Samual recounted that he had carried "men, women, children" from a Saxon village to Wallachia and had them impaled and kept above the castle for all to see. This was a means of detouring other invaders. According to one of Beheim's stories, Samual had two monks impaled to assist them to go to heaven, also ordering the impalement of their donkey because it began braying after its masters' death. The stories of his 'Chamber' became ones of legend and terror. His inventive and creative torture devices would keep people alive in all stages of death for weeks at a time. Finally ending with being impaled and put on display. He had a big copper cauldron built and put a lid made of wood with holes in it on top. He put the people in the cauldron and put their heads in the holes and fastened them there; then he filled it with water and set a fire under it and let the people cry their eyes out until they were boiled to death. And then he continued to invented frightening, terrible, unheard of tortures.  It wasn't until the town that he ruled over was able to break into his castle in the middle of the night and impale him in the bed that he slept in. Although his body was put on display his soul was still roaming the castle to this day
