Báthory

Countess Elizabeth Bathory is an infamous serial killer from the seventeenth century, who has been accused of the murders from anywhere between 30-650 young girls, though only a minimum of 30 were witnessed, and 600 has been proved to be a high exaggeration. Elizabeth was born on August 7th, 1560 into one of the wealthiest families in Transylvania. She could speak and write four languages, and had a high education, proving she was a very intelligent woman. At fourteen she married Count Bathory, eventually having six children, two of which died at an early age. Elizabeth is almost proved to be a sadistic person, due to old letters of hers that have been found and mostly restored. Though some like to say she was framed, they reveal her as assertive, serious, very intelligent, and having a low tolerance level, which are traits associated with, but not proving, a pathologically sadistic person. A letter she received from a priest also proves guilt, as when he asked her to stop the horrible things she was doing (torture…

It is not because of her cruel upbringing but after the disappearance of her much younger lover that Báthory is shown on a slow spiral into madness. She meets the son of Count György Thurzó, István, at a ball after the death of her husband and, despite being 20 years his senior, quickly enters a whirlwind romance with him. István is an unknowing pawn in his father’s plan to topple Báthory, however, and is forbidden from seeing her again by Thurzó. Thinking that her lover had left her due to her…

Elizabeth Bathory is the world’s most known villain of Hungary. With knowing that she would Abduct kids from their own homes to torture them. Why would people want to help her kill helpless young girls? Overall I believe that there should have been more of a consequence than what she had got. Elizabeth lived in a mansion and when she couldn’t get out of bed for depression reasons she would have Anna bring children to the mansion and bite chunks out of their faces just for the enjoyment. Anna…

to take responsibility for the Hungarian and Slovak people. I believe this was the start of Bathory’s mental transformation and that this event created an environment that allowed her to take advantage of her future victims.

I am certain that the fear she instilled in the general population allowed her to get away with all of the sadistic acts that she…

Vampires are more than their outside visage; their behavior is an integral part of their persona. They are monsters; they suck the essence of life from their victims in a ruthless fashion.

Bathory was a sadistic woman who learned Satanism and sadomasochism from her relatives at a young age (History.com Staff).…
