Elizabeth Bathory- A Short Summary

The Blood Countess


Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed,
born 1560 as a countess of nobility,
in the Kingdom of Hungary.
Married at age 14,
to a son in aristocracy.

She was labelled
the most prolific female serial killer.
Bathing in the blood of over 650 girls
to make her self look younger.

She would slit there necks,
and drain their blood.
Then after gathering the crimson tears,
she submerged herself into the liquid tub.

She was a sick, depraved woman.
She did all this because she couldn't stand seeing herself get old
She'd slowly torture these little girls.
With no emotion. Her heart ice cold

When that blood,
proved to be insufficient.
She search for girls
from families more higher in proficients.

She would tell the families
that the girls would be educated,
but when the families heard the truth,
the girl were already dead, by then.

Due to her status,
she wasn't arrest or convicted.
Until she lost her grip,
and alive left a victim.

She was imprisoned by her own family
because of that one witness.
And even after her death in 1614,
The legend proved her to be the blood countess.
