Elizabeth Bathory: The most beautiful Countess in Europe and horrifying crime, killing 600 people just for beauty

Bloodthirsty Countess Elizabeth Bathory is one of the cruelest women in human history. This countess had sex with more than 600 girls, bathed in blood and even drank it to stay young forever.

Aging is always a top search term for women in their forties who are obsessed with aging and ugliness. Through many developments in technology, women now have many effective beauty tools in their hands in a short time. Of course, there are also legendary beauty remedies that are praised and applied until now for their proven effectiveness.

However, among them there are also many sick methods devised by delusions about how to fight the laws of nature. A typical example is the horrifying beauty treatment of the most beautiful noblewoman in Europe who hunts day and night - that is, bathing in the blood of virgins.

A beautiful, erudite and popular Countess

Elizabeth Bathory (1560 - 1614) was born into a royal noble family in Hungary. From a young age, she was famous for her beautiful beauty with blue eyes, bright skin and shiny hair. Not only does Elizabeth have to be more formal when wearing her precious clothes, she is also an intelligent woman, knowledgeable and fluent in many foreign languages such as Latin, Greek and German.

At the age of 15, she married Count Nadasdy Ferenc - leader of the Hungarian army and lived in Cachtice castle. When her husband was away from home on war, the Countess often stayed in the castle. Sometimes, she went to the local trading markets.

At this time, she was loved by everyone because she was not only beautiful but also generous and erudite. However, being admired by many people unintentionally caused the Countess to have an obsession with beauty and power.

The obsession with aging and the source of bloodlust

Women, no one can stay young forever. Elizabeth's youthfulness and splendor only lasted until she was 40 years old. The moment her whole sky of confidence collapsed was when one early morning, she sat in front of the mirror and realized wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, laugh lines, her hair fell out, her lips were no longer red or pink. The wonderfully clear blue eyes became more opaque.

Plus the fact that the count was always busy with big things and not often at the castle made Elizabeth crazy lonely. Thinking that it's because I'm ugly and old that my husband is making excuses to go away and not have sex like before. Because of her deterioration, the countess received less praise and admiration than before. Therefore, the desire to hold on to her youthful appearance increasingly becomes the obsession of this woman living in luxury.

In the historical records, when the maid brushed Elizabeth's hair, she accidentally did it too hard, and she angrily slapped the maid until she bled. Accidentally got blood on her hand without her knowing. By the time she discovered the blood had dried, she wiped it away and noticed that the skin where the blood had been splashed was different, more beautiful, younger, and full of vitality. So in this woman's mind a seed of crime was formed.

Blood bath for youthful skin

Taking all the blood of the guilty maid was not enough, Elizabeth wanted to be fully immersed in its fresh fishy smell, not catch every poor drop.

Elizabeth's illness was also brought to its peak when she only sent soldiers to "hunt for blood" from virgins because she believed that the blood of married women was mixed with filth and hard work, so it could only be New virgin blood is clean and maximizes its effectiveness on the skin, preserving youthfulness.

Even more terrifying, in 1609, Elizabeth opened an "academy" in the castle with the motto that she preached that she could help girls become more beautiful, thereby having the opportunity to change their lives and escape a life of poverty. needy. One after another, the poor girls fell into the trap and disappeared, never to return.

After killing many poor girls, Elizabeth's next targets were the young ladies from rich families. According to estimates, more than 600 young girls were her victims. And the incident was only exposed when this Countess became careless. Because she killed so many people that she couldn't find an effective way to hide the bodies, she ordered the bodies to be thrown off the walls surrounding the castle.

In 1611, the Royal High Court met to try Elizabeth. Thanks to her royal bloodline and her husband's merits, Elizabeth was exempted from the death penalty but was imprisoned for life in the very castle where she committed the crime. Three years later, Elizabeth ended her life by going on a hunger strike on August 21, 1614 when she turned 54 years old and never uttered a single word of regret for her crime.
