Riddle of Ages: Travelling Through History

hmmm.... I'd say the fact that you're Bosnian was a slight hint :p
Anyway...
Um...
A man o'er Forests rose
Draconic, brother a slave
A puppet of the East, an enemy of the West,
Exiled,
Killed by a knife of hate,
Ruled thrice, Died Twice.
(should be easy enough)
 
I have no clue who Civ'ed riddle is about, to be honest.
 
Vlad Dracula?
 
mayor, you win.
A man o'er Forests rose
Transylvania - Across the forest in Latin
Draconic, brother a slave
Dracula (dragon's son), his brother commanded a Janissary regiment
A puppet of the East, an enemy of the West,
Hungarians tried to get rid of him multiple times
Exiled,
Went to Ottomans as a child, and exiled by the Hungarians
Killed by a knife of hate,
Assassinated
Ruled thrice, Died Twice.
He reigned three times, and the book Dracula.
Mayor, you're up.
 
Open floor, I won't have time to come up with a riddle before tomorrow

EDIT: does Milarqui still venture here? The list with answers needs to be updated :mischief:
 
Born a fool, grown a scribe,
laughed at by his younger nephew.
He got his revenge, and was hailed king.

As I'm on camp, I'll leave the answer in a spoiler. Don't peek!
Spoiler :
Don't peek I said!:lol:
Spoiler :
Emperor Claudius the first of Rome.
 
Not peeked, really

Shakespeare as king of theatre guessin
 
No, you didn't peek, as the answer is wrong :p
King should be taken more litteraly.
 
Claudius
 
I know, I peeked :p
 
I hope you peeked after you answered ;) You are indeed right.
Anyway, JoanK is up.
 
Open ground! And no, I peeked when I first saw your post :p
I wanted something new ;)
 
What? I'm afraid to say, he ruined it himself by putting the answer right there. Unless it was a fake answer, which would be much better. But yes, I did it. And I NEVER have or will have a riddle of my own to post. You should remember that. Just in case. If he wants he can post another one right now.
 
Your turn then ;)
 
Nowhere to be seen, until succession was clean,
Always at strike, never to convince,
Denying tradition, upholding modernization,
Coming out of the Dark,enlightning a whole world.
