Transylvanya was indeed under hungarian rule during that time but the region had always been a romanian speaking majority one. It cannot be any unintentional mistake here, given the fact that in another episode from the same arc it is said that there are reports from finders in both Hungary and Austria, none of which existed as a separate statal entity until later after the break of the Austria-Hungary.One can clearly see that even in the anime at one point it is shown the map of today's state of Romania, so I highly doubt that this whole arrangement wasn't in accordance with the author's plan as to which country should be most fitting set-up for the vampire arc, given the fact that the japanese, as well as others, are well aware of the association between romania (and especially Tranaylvanya) and vampires. Vlad the 3rd was here clearly the inspiration for the character and he too was a romanian prince and ruler. Eliade is also a romanian name which many romanians are associating with the famous historian of religions and thinker Mircea Eliade. So maybe it was the 20th century after all, dunno.
