Some Romanians certainly do praise Vlad as a hero.

Bible mentions a place
(place exists)
Believer harps on about historical accuracy, praise be to god, etc.
Dracula mentions a place (London)
(London Exists)
No one calls Dracula history, no one praises Vlad.
You don't have anything to show for god or miracles (and really that's the meat of the whole thing isn't it, kind of a shame), so instead, you'd like to show us that the tax roll in verse so and so chapter such and such was accurate. No one cares. All fiction leverages elements of non-fiction...that's what makes it compelling, relevant, and workable.
If I were to ask you why Dracula seems to be so accurate (with regards to history, ignoring the vampire entirely) what would you say? Would whatever you say give any weight to the notion of flesh and blood vampires?
talking about events not places. your example is not similar because we are talking about whether documents were written thousands of years after events which are found to be true or written at the time. it seams more likely they were written at the time the events took place don't you think?
You do know that truth is not dependent on your desire don't you?
