They called her the "Blood Countess" .One of the most sadistic and violent personalities in history, in fact Elizabeth Bathory stands as the greatest murderer known to date.According to many specialists in her Biography, I get to kill 650 people, mostly young women.The goal? Get her blood.

The Hungarian vampire who didn't want to grow old

Virgin blood.Countess Bathory was looking especially girls' blood and young girls to bathe in her and to prevent that the passage of time caressed her skin.This lady lover of orgies, sadism and vampirism was born in 1560 in an illustrious and distinguished family: her cousin was Prime Minister of Hungary, and her uncle the King of Poland nothing less.A genealogical tree where the fascination with esotericism and black magic was always printed.

As a curiosity to consider we will tell you that Elizabeth married at age 15 with Count Nadasdy, a singular man known as "The Black Hero" , who took her to live in a lonely castle in the Carpathians.A novel argument, no doubt, but a novel too sadic to enjoy.It's one of those stories where reality surpasses fiction.

Because her husband goes through For long periods in wars and battles, Countess Bathory takes advantage of her lonely hours to unleash her desires: maintain lesbian relationships with two of her maidens, and deepen even more in matters of esotericism and alchemy.That is how I am prepared for something that had always worried him, to grow old.It did not take long to come to those texts that spoke of the power of blood and human sacrifices to preserve that freshness she wanted to keep for life.

Vampires in real life: Elizabeth Bathory

And when this concern began to be apparent? After giving birth to four children, after having dedicated part of his life and his years of youth seeing how day by day he came to maturity to the reflection of his mirror.At first he did not decide to try those forbidden arts, his her husband and her obligations to the nobility stopped her dark desires a little.But when her husband passed away, Elizabeth was confined in her castle taking refuge in an apparent sadness over the loss, a depression that facing the world could serve as a pretext to start her perverse yearnings.

He was 40 years old when he started touring the Carpathians in a carriage with his maidens in search of girls.And what was his technique of hunting? He promised them a job in the castle.They were times of need and there were few who refused.But that if, when he began to run the fear of so many disappearances, the countess simply opted for kidnappings.

One Once in his castle, the girls were drugged, humiliated, chained...and stabbed in strategic areas to get their blood.Countess Elizabeth needed to fill her bathtub , so there were several young women she had to sacrifice.Of course, the girls who showed lozania and a really attractive appearance were subjected to even more perverse techniques: I locked them up for years to get their blood drawn in small doses, very little by little, and simply drink it.Their monstrosity grew day by day, a darkness that I always live in it and that in all that time could escape with total freedom in the most perversity difficult to understand.

The sadism and the crimes of «The Blood Countess «, They lasted say ez years

The people had panic, the terror spread in all the nearby villages until it reached the ears of the king.And he was not worth his nobility or his distinguished ancestry.What the soldiers found at entering the castle had no words.What they found in the dungeons and basements exceeded the sense of logic and decency.But what they discovered buried in the surroundings of the castle already resulted insanely, hundreds of corpses of girls killed...

The Hungarian King infringed on him the worst of the punishments, something according to his sins: a slow dead.Elizabeth Bathory was walled in the bedroom of her castle, but yes, she I leave a small hole open where he was offered remains of food and some water.It took four years to die.At 54.
