CloseThe tale of the notorious Countess Elizabeth Bathory, has been recounted by historians, writers, poets, musicians, painters and filmmakers for many years. Tradition has it that Countess Bathory was the greatest murderess in the history of humankind – a fact documented by her entry in the Guinness Book of Records – and also inspired the story of Dracula.
Stories have it that she bathed in blood and performed many gruesome acts of torture on her female victims before killing them. But is it really true? In four centuries no historical document has been found to reveal what exactly happened. Diametrically opposing the established legend, Bathory is about a defenceless widow who owns more property and riches than the King himself and who, as a result, becomes a victim of scheming from on high.
