As a teenager she was married to one of Hungaries war heroe's Count Ferencz Nadasdy, she was a beautiful young woman, although she was very pale, she had beautiful long black hair, and the face of an angel, the only thing that could cast doubt upon her as you glanced at her were her eyes, distant and seemingly empty.
As the countess grew with age she now had enough strength to endulge in her pleasures, her victimes being mainly servent girls, when found to be unruly the countess would torture the girls, burning the genitals e.t.c. When finding them too noisy she would sew their mouths shut. For years she would commit such atrocities even when her husband came home from the battlefield, at first he was excited and joined in, but eventually he could not cope with the torture that the girls were put through and left his wife alone to do her work. Elizabeth Bathory also had three friends who were witches and those who she could not reach who she disliked she would curse from afar. Her castle was more dark and sinister than any found in fairy tales. Killing and torturing though was not enough, the countess now found something new to dabble in.
After the death of her husband in 1600, the Countess who had always been very vaine was feeling the pressure of time and felt her beauty fading away, this was not something she could allow. The forty year old countess was sat as she usually did with one of her servant girl's combing her hair, when the girl came across a knot and yanked too hard the Countess was more than displeased. She smacked the girl so hard that she spattered blood from her mouth. As she stare at her hands she felt that the blood of the young girl was revitalizing her flesh, now she had reach a revalation, the fountain of youth lied within, within the corpses of the many girls of who's blood she would drain over the years.
All of a sudden girls by the number would go missing from the area, and the Countess would bathe and bathe, sometimes they were tortured before they were drained sometimes the three witches helped, sometimes the male servants simply hacked them up. And other times Elizabeth's elaborate torture devices would used such as the hanging globe, the girl would fit inside with not much room and be poked at with hot pokers when she jumped away to the sides, the inner walls of the sphere which held spikes would pierce her and Elizabeth would stand underneath as the blood showered down.
Eventually though Elizabeth would be caught and the soldiers who stormed the castle had proof right at the main entrance, a girl laid impaled, with her last breath.
Due to the fact that she was a Countess she could not be executed, instead she was imprisoned in her own castle, not the entire castle. A single room which she was walled up in. She died in that room her last words written out cursing the people she felt had anything to do with her downfall. She died August 21st 1614, and in her lifetime killed over 700 young girls.
