Is the story of Elizabeth bathory true?

Answer 1

Yes , it is very true . She was a countess who was fearfull to age and killed her virgin servants and used their blood to stay young . She kept all their deaths in a book . She had a very hard life and had a lot of mental issues due to the violence she saw as a child . She liked to hurt others and crave power , she did not like peasents and wanted them to be wiped of the face of the earth . Her mother was a killer ( Anna Bathory ) who taught Elizabeth how to kill , her husband also enjoyed murder of peasents and sometimes watched . She was arrested at 43 and died at 48 , though some sourses say she was 54 . She never went to her trial . She was kept on house arrest and had 4 guards watch her outside her bedroom door ( where she was locked up ) , they removed her real bedroom door and placed a door with bars on it instead . Her son paul had to witness this event and her daughters and sons had to witness the slaves murders . She is buried in her birth place .

Answer 2

She was never put on trial, but three of her accomplices were convicted. The number of victims they gave in their evidence was 37 and 38, not the figure of 612.
