Elizabeth Báthory

Elizabeth Báthory is remembered as the first female serial killer. They named her the Blood Countess.

Legend claims she bathed in the blood of virgins to remain beautiful. It is an image that has seduced artists for centuries.

History, however, is written by the victors.

Perhaps she was simply one of the most powerful women in Europe—a widow with vast estates and dangerous influence, surrounded by men who wanted to take both.
