** The Castlevania series isn't quite the real world. Dracula's surname is taken from Tepes (the part of Vlad the Impaler's name which means "the Impaler", which wouldn't strictly be a surname), but he isn't the historical Tepes. Probably.

** Also, if any game canon still applies, Leon came out of France after relinquishing his knighthood, so he would've been just some random guy when he arrived in Wallachia. 400 years later, his descendants were landed gentry with a basement full of dead monsters, magical artifacts, and ancient lore. The Belmonts have probably been kicking ass and slaying demons in Wallachia for most of the last ''four centuries'', so the name would still be well-known even without the vilification from the church.

** Probably because the Church specifically blamed them, and they were a prominent family (remember that the point of a crest is that [[SigilSpam people recognise it]]) for centuries before then. It's not too hard to imagine that someone over the age of majority recognises it, and remembers them as the scapegoat.

Added DiffLines:

* If the Belmonts had been virtually extinct for over a decade (Trevor can't even remember how old he was when the rest of the family died), why would a random, nothing village goatherder be able to remember their names, recognize their crest at a casual glance, and think that they're relevant enough to be to blame for a crisis that happened years after they were allegedly wiped out, as shown in the first and second episodes of season 1?

** It's possible that despite his actions, he's still ordained himself and blessing holy water just works based on a ritual. It's also possible that being under the control of the (innocent if a bit out there) Hector meant that his sins didn't apply. Whatever the specifics, it's probably a hint as to how holy blessings work in the setting.

* The Bishop claims that, with all other major cities being destroyed, he will be the only church authority left. Even ignoring the inexplicable existance of the catholic church in Romania... has this guy seriously forgotten the existance of the pope?

** By that, the Bishop clearly means "in Wallachia", given that the other major cities in question were also of Wallachian origin. Plus, at the time, Romania wasn't its own thing; around this time in history, Wallachia was its own separate principality.

** Lisa bore no ill will to the people thinking they were just ignorant and miserable, was clearly very optimistic and believed they would come around to her way of thinking once she started actually making a difference. In the end she was just a bit to optimistic.
