| McFarlane's Monsters series 3: Elizabeth Bathory |
In Hungary, during the 1500s and early 1600s, she allegedly tortured and killed more than 600 women. According to testimony, she was accused of:
- severe beatings over extended periods of time, often leading to death
- burning or mutilation of hands, sometimes also of faces and genitalia
- biting the flesh off the faces, arms and other bodily parts
- freezing to death
- surgery on victims, often fatal
- starving of victims
- sexual abuse
However, her guilt is debated. Some believe she was just the victim of religious persecution and a political conspiracy. But, guilty or innocent, Elizabeth Báthory has gone down in history as a sadistic murderess.

That's crazy. So she was kind of the female Vlad Dracul.
Incredible. six hundred? wow

It's funny. If it was a set-up by the church, then the church is fucked up. If she really did do all those things, then she's fucked up.
It would shock me to think that just because you're a noble you could get away with stuff like this.
Wow. She was batshit crazy.
wow that's insane
Bathing in virgins' blood isn't great for skin, agreed, but it does wonders for one's immortality.
I'm 83 and have the body of a 19 year old.
that is cruel :o followed ! monitoring blog
Ew..a real blood bath.
Oh, thats wicked! I like the figure too! And she must have been pretty f'ed up in the head, but legendary all the same. But I'll say this, the way the Church portrays women, I wouldn't be surprised that this is just slander against her... Good read though!
It's always suprised me how popular Elizabeth bathory is
That's scary to think about. I wonder how much she only changed the course of history by killing those women. Imagine how many descendants were never born because of her. Things could be very different now.
Great post and great blog :)
