Hello Ingrid! There are some court records that survived. She was investigated by the law, so she was doing some things very wrong. It may have been exaggerated over the years but she wasn't a good person to say the least. There are written documents explaining some of it. She was shut up in one of her castles or walled in a room in a castle to starve to death depending on who is telling it. But she couldn't have lived 4 years being starved to death. Just locked in her house/room for the remainder of her life. She wasn't tried and executed outright because she was a noble woman. Which is BS but of the times I guess. History certainly is not full of fairness and justice for rich people much like today.
Seriously!! we have absolutely no proof that the men and the church that held power when she was alive didn’t create these rumors in order to remove her from any kind of power!! This happened to women with any kind of power, frequently at that time in history!!
Isn't there evidence of Bathory suffering from epilepsy as a child, one of the treatments in that time period being placing the blood of a non epileptic on the lips. I thought this was the origin of the "bathing in blood" trope
Yes, At the time, symptoms relating to epilepsy were diagnosed as falling sickness and treatments included rubbing blood of a non-sufferer on the lips of an epileptic or giving the epileptic a mix of a non-sufferer's blood and piece of skull as their episode ended. BUT, it's a fact that her family had sexual deviances as well. She was pregnant and gave birth at 13. There are over 12 family members and servants that said the father was a young servant boy that miraculously disappeared soon after. This was documented long before her marriage. Her husband was also, as mentioned, has quite a bit of evidence of sadistic sexual deviances long before his marriage as well. Including polyamory relationships. His uncle and nephew were open about the fact they were in polygamist relationships. Although unthinkable in their day, people have been in loving and caring polyamory relationships for thousands of years in a society that welcomed that. I think her husband and her were in a loving relationship with the 3 or 4 "servants" but couldn't be open about it. Hence why she only wanted female victims, which could be viewed as perhaps a rule from her husband. 🤔 The official investigation did include those servants testifying saying this exact thing. Equal loving relationships. BDSM and Sadism are much more common than anyone wants to admit. As a hole, from her childhood on, the psychology of this lady does in fact support text book BDSM and Sadism relationships. I think it started with the epilepsy from childhood for sure. The most compelling evidence is the behavioral aspects we know of and were documented that no one would recognize back then. My personal opinion...I think its half truths and blown out of proportion.
Truthfully, we have people like Rosemary West and Myra Hindley nowadays, it’s not too hard to imagine someone with power wreaking havoc in those days when people really didn’t have rights. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle of innocence and guilt, but I find it interesting we feel doubt accepting the tale as true. Torture was normal. That alone says so much. It was a very different world. Really well made documentary. I love Ingrid Pitt but I think, she’s seeing through overly sympathetic eyes. I hope it wasn’t true, for the sakes of the victims and for everyone involved. But…I can see it.
I don't like how feminists try to paint her as some kind of icon and hero. The fact is she would have had no empathy what so ever. She would have cared only about herself and her personality would have been that of a self centered. spoiled, entitled psychopath. Even if it was exaggerated she wasn't a good person. She took care of her castles but she didn't take care of her subjects. She could care less. Feminists can't paint this one as a hero. She's one of the most evil woman in history!
it’s absolutely insane. they’re not feminists, they’re sociopaths. actual feminists would only have empathy for the hundreds of girls who were slowly, brutally tortured, not the murderer.
@@deathmetalpotato Agreed. Even if Elizabeth bathory's crimes weren't as bad as they say she still would have been a spoiled mean bad psychopathic person because all high born were evil mofos back then.
While I enjoyed this video, I must say that I was expecting something better, it left me with a lot of unanswered questions. There didn't seem to be much analysis and questioning of the so called "facts". Starting with the fact that it seems impossible that someone could kill young women at a rate of about one every three weeks for thirty years. For me, this alone puts everything else in question. So many things should be examined more closely, like missing documents. Any worthwhile investigation should closely examine any documentation or lack there of. I guess this investigation just didn't do enough to separate fact from fiction.
I have heard in other shows that things were exaggerated over the years but she was at the very least abusive and cruel to her servants. It had to be beyond that for the King to order an investigation though however late to the game he was. I guess we'd have to read the court documents that survived for ourselves. I wonder exactly how much of the truth was included even in those. They wouldn't want to admit a noble person would do something like that.
Some people have this stupid tendency to appreciate powerful people, regardless of their virtues and so on. I feel this has to do with their own internal power fantasies.
The hole story sounds a bit like those court documents during the hight of the witch trials (1560-1630), oh wait ..... A rich widow who the king owed money to, would surely not be convicted by a bogus court on made up charges, right?
She was never charged. There's evidence her children, who believed her to be guilty, conspired with the palatine not to give her a trial so as to preserve their family name. This is backed by letters between the palatine and the children, as well as the palatine and the kind, and representatives of all three of the children being with the palatine already when they arrested Báthory. Letters confirm the children and the palatine agreed to imprison her before he ever went to make the arrest. After all of the parties theoretically interested in gaining her land when she died were already dead, her son wrote that the servants were burned at the stake for being accomplices to Báthory in the torture of girls in _Chronicle of Castle Csejethe._
None of the men involved in this benefitted from this. None ever tried to claim her land or wealth. Her sons got everything but the chances they would cause all of this which would result in a huge trial and ruin their family name is slim. Nobody really benefitted from any of this. Noble mens daughters went missing in her care. She didnt fight to have a big trial either.
@@1000g2g3g4g800999Not inconcievable that they thought she was guilty cause she was. She needed a mini army travelling when she left her castle she was that hated. Reports of her go back 10 years before she was investigated. Noble mens daughters genuinely did vanish in her care.

A different presenter for a start. Trying to justify this butcher and her actions by constantly saying " as a feminist" What on earth has feminism got to do with Elizabeth's psychopathy? Stick to the facts that we know. Please.
Your presentations are very good, but difficult to watch with ads playing every 2-5 minutes. I don't mind ads, but the frequency really kills the enjoyment.
@@meghanheadrick4224 sorry you don't like my opinion. Too bad you took it the wrong way. It was intended as constructive criticism to help make the videos better. If no one points things out, no improvements can be made. Plenty of other channels manage to get ads in without so many interruptions. Have a nice day😉
Jeez where to start. It was interesting and some of it well done. The actress who apparently knows everything is a bit nuts. The host, well let's see how objective she is... "as a feminist I have to assume she was setup by the men of the age". No bias there at all.
I stopped watching after the “set up” by men trying to steal her lands nonsense. You gave us all this information about this woman having blood thirsty sexual deviances, yet still managed to find a way to blame men. Overall I’m sure there’s better videos about this woman on UA-cam than this one, though it wasn’t all bad.
Billions of women across the world TODAY are not legally allowed to own property. Even as late as the early 1900's it was the same everywhere in the western world, including the U.S. It was DEFINITELY the case across the world in her time. When you'd rather believe Thurzo, who had a direct financial interest in watching her fall as a close relative who went on to inherit much of her wealth, and said amongst other things that she had the ability to turn into a black cat as "proof" of her witchcraft, I have to question your own bias. Unless you hate feminism so much you are willing to believe people can indeed turn into black cats?
Her children knew. The entire family knew. Which was one reason why she was never put on trial...if she had been found guilty, her lands would have been confiscated and the king's debt to the family cancelled. The family arranged it so she would be unofficially punished and the lands would be retained in the family.
@@SunnyGirlFlorida one could ask the same of your own attempt at a comment. Because i felt like leaving my opinion, same as literally every other commenter on UA-cam...
I found this episode more poorly researched then the others. I mean you literally use the destruction of paperwork as evidence that her crimes must have been so horrific they had to be hidden from the public, where as it seems just as likely that her family covered everything up because they wanted her money. The evidence that this was a conspiracy against her is much stronger then it is presented in this documentary (which contradicted itself on several occasions.) This was supposed to be a true crime doco and I was left really disappointed at the wilful lack of research in favour of following a more fanciful story. Overall a really bad job. I would be ashamed to have anything to do with this piece of trash.
Same here. Any research I've done as a complete amateur points to a conspiracy. And the statement in the end that there's been no comprehensive study of why women kill is utterly laughable. Saying that such studies haven't been done because society thinks that women aren't capable of such cruelty is the result of a feminist sticking stubbornly to the stereotypes about women they claim to be false. It's willful ignorance of actual expert reseach that is contrary to the crime writer's opinion.
The thing is we don’t really know whether this really happened or not, I mean for all we know this could’ve just been a rumour that became a massive tale.
Well, there’s SOME evidence…and where there’s smoke there’s a blood thirsty sadist dominatrix who was obsessed with young women and got a thrill from hearing them…. 🩸SCREAM🩸
@@bbeeez I don't doubt she did torture her "underlings" because in those days, the wealthy could quite literally get away with murder, but a lot was also probably exaggerated and/or fabricated. Her cousin Thurzo had too much to gain financially.
I descend from the Bathory family and heard stories from my grandmother about her. She really was a bad person. From what I understood from my grandma, our ancestor visited her in her home in Vienna, Austria (where she lived before she moved to Cathice). He cut his visit short and left early, a bit disturbed by what he saw there. And keep in mind these were the middle ages when it was common to punish servants. So there must have been some really bad things going on there if he as an adult man couldn't stand it.
I have to say that Elizabeth Bathory in her paintings is not a bad looking woman. She looks like a woman that does have class & unique etiquette to present in front of her noble class. Makes me kind of cringe that she did those horrible things but yet, we are interested with her macabre history of why she did those horrible things to her servant girls 😮😢 🤴 Let me add her ruin castle 🏰 on the top of the hill looks like a real life vampire 🧛♀️ movie castle similar too Draculaaaa 🦇
33:45 oh, that’s when it “got out of hand”? i would’ve thought it was already “out of hand” with the first girl she tortured. the apologetic gymnastics in this documentary are insane… she was a victim of misogyny, she was introduced to s*x at a young age, she was inbred, she was grieving her husband… and “she was bisexual”?? you’re seriously conflating being gay with being a sadistic serial killer?! this video is a see-saw of documented historical fact and straight up gaslighting.
The truth is that Anna needed to eat, and that's why her mother Elizabeth killed so many young girls in the town. Well. Vampyres. Otherwise she was pretty interested in some magick evidenced by her letters. Not many people know that about Elizabeth, but Anna gets pretty upset when people call her the blood mistress. Yeah well Anna? You didn't have to kill kids did you? No. Except the vampyres decided to do it anyway and not all of them are bad. Animal blood not good enough? They also like to send their lackeys on you to threaten you too if you get too involved with their shit. One of our people got threatened one time. I don't know they're over sensitive about things. What can I say? If anyone thinks they don't exist they're deluding themselves.
Erzsébet Báthory or Elisabeth Báthory was a good countess, she did not do any wrong! She helped peasants and cured the peasants ehen they were sick. She was the second most wealthy widow in Hungarian Kingdom! The Habsburgs wanted her wealth! Not just hers, but the wealth if many great nobles of Hungary! The Habsburgs took the wealth of all the nobles of Hungary, who didn't want to serve them, who didn't want to become german, who didn't want to become roman-catholic and give tjeir money to the roman church, who didn't want to serve Rome and the jesuits! When the Habsburgs took the land and wealth of the hungarian noble families, they gave the majority to the Roman catholic church, and the rest to the foreign nobles, who were brought here by Habsburgs, given hungarian names and become the new nobles. But these new nobles were cruel to the peasants, they took away the freedom of the peasants! These new nobles were mostly german and austrian, or other nationalities, who served the Habsburgs. These new nobile families almost destroyed Hungary from within. But only their fake names sounded hungarian, in reality they were the enemies of Hungary and hungarian people!!!
Everyone has the ability to kill. It is a matter of motivation. That might be greed, hatred, madness, revenge, misguided loyalty, being evil, self defense, jealousy etc. It has nothing to do with race, gender, age, ethnicity, country, wealth or lack thereof. Women seem to be a bit more quiet and sinister about their intent so they may pretend to be good. Maternal instinct will not prevent a woman from killing you. If that was true a woman would never kill her own children but unfortubately that happens too.
the countess, really probably some but not this many when have the time a to do it over her life time, legend really on how many probably more than should have but by hand and a women as so unusual probably exaggerated as so horrific
Mirror, can you tell me How to stay forever young? Let me know the secret I will hold my twisted tongue Please protect my beauty Velvet skin so pure and white Hear my name resounding Like a hymn at dead of night
"...over 500 years later"? No. Do the math. The hostess was totally ill-equipped to manage this subject. On a historical show, how did they fail to catch that blunder? She mentions her being a feminist, as if that's relevant, but she should focus more on her basic math.
This piece has very few narratives of actual crimes. I’m relatively certain stories about her are overblown just as this whole documentary was. What a waste of time.
She was not a killer that all It's a fake from the Habsburgers because she Has to much Power and money for this time.. All people in this time was brutaly dont Tell lie about her!!! 😒😔
such a violent time all over, really she probably was so cruel to the young girls that many died of the cruelty, like iron hot on the jas ad disease and endless things she diem \, they meant nothing in the life of a noble anywhere int he place, and so legend grew really to silly to have statement that did this bare hands, to the throat, it was just abject cruelty probably that was acceptable, like the legend of dracula, stupid to believe this
@@khfan4life365 Why? Because so-called official documents say so? All those documents could have been faked and officials bribed by the same people who inherited her wealth and lands.
eye witness testimony was all gotten by torturing the witnesses, Cept the man leading the investigation, who benefitted from her guilt as did all her family
There’s a theory that she suffered from an iron deficiency and when she indulged in blood she felt better, got a healthy flush/glow and became energized…possible! 🩸 ♥️ 🩸

It's relatively rare for women to be killers.
Because she was not a killer!!!!

The truth is that Anna needed to eat, and that's why her mother Elizabeth killed so many young girls in the town. Well. Vampyres. Otherwise she was pretty interested in some magick evidenced by her letters.
Not many people know that about Elizabeth, but Anna gets pretty upset when people call her the blood mistress.
Yeah well Anna? You didn't have to kill kids did you? No. Except the vampyres decided to do it anyway and not all of them are bad.
Animal blood not good enough? They also like to send their lackeys on you to threaten you too if you get too involved with their shit. One of our people got threatened one time. I don't know they're over sensitive about things. What can I say?
If anyone thinks they don't exist they're deluding themselves.
See a doctor!
Why can't she say Decades right? Dicades lol
Sounds like she’s saying “decay” and adding a D
Erzsébet Báthory or Elisabeth Báthory was a good countess, she did not do any wrong! She helped peasants and cured the peasants ehen they were sick. She was the second most wealthy widow in Hungarian Kingdom!
The Habsburgs wanted her wealth! Not just hers, but the wealth if many great nobles of Hungary! The Habsburgs took the wealth of all the nobles of Hungary, who didn't want to serve them, who didn't want to become german, who didn't want to become roman-catholic and give tjeir money to the roman church, who didn't want to serve Rome and the jesuits! When the Habsburgs took the land and wealth of the hungarian noble families, they gave the majority to the Roman catholic church, and the rest to the foreign nobles, who were brought here by Habsburgs, given hungarian names and become the new nobles. But these new nobles were cruel to the peasants, they took away the freedom of the peasants! These new nobles were mostly german and austrian, or other nationalities, who served the Habsburgs. These new nobile families almost destroyed Hungary from within. But only their fake names sounded hungarian, in reality they were the enemies of Hungary and hungarian people!!!
She looks like queen Elizabeth' the first .
They painted everyone to look like that
Think shes a feminist aswell, she likes mentioning it!
It true J's..no withholding divorce.js..
Wow, they really wanted her wealth this much that they falsely accused her. What an actual b"""
Interesting but I don’t think all the background screaming was necessary.
Everyone has the ability to kill. It is a matter of motivation. That might be greed, hatred, madness, revenge, misguided loyalty, being evil, self defense, jealousy etc. It has nothing to do with race, gender, age, ethnicity, country, wealth or lack thereof. Women seem to be a bit more quiet and sinister about their intent so they may pretend to be good. Maternal instinct will not prevent a woman from killing you. If that was true a woman would never kill her own children but unfortubately that happens too.
she tortured them no doubt and so many died, this was the way of the entire kingdom nothing new here
the countess, really probably some but not this many when have the time a to do it over her life time, legend really on how many probably more than should have but by hand and a women as so unusual probably exaggerated as so horrific
Mirror, can you tell me
How to stay forever young?
Let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
Please protect my beauty
Velvet skin so pure and white
Hear my name resounding
Like a hymn at dead of night
ВОТ УЖ ЗАСЛУЖИЛИ МЕСТА В АДУ... ОНА И МУЖЕНЕК. БЕДНЫЕ ЛЮДИ. КАКЯ ЖУТКАЯ И НЕНУЖНАЯ ЖЕСТОКОСТЬ.
"..as a feminist.." - pull the other one, Martina.
What do you mean?
@@Shane-Flanagan jack the bean
26:54 is that tyrion ?? lool
13:27 by what?
The sreaming through the video is not necessary, I didn't enjoy this.I changed channel.
"...over 500 years later"? No. Do the math. The hostess was totally ill-equipped to manage this subject. On a historical show, how did they fail to catch that blunder? She mentions her being a feminist, as if that's relevant, but she should focus more on her basic math.
This piece has very few narratives of actual crimes. I’m relatively certain stories about her are overblown just as this whole documentary was. What a waste of time.
Had to stop halfway through. Absolutely no need to have women screaming pretty much throughout in the background. Pretty weird frankly.
Poor documentary
Lost me at decades😅
The countess who tortures, yet she lets her her servants to be executed
What was the servants name
How could you make up so.ething so crazy you wouldn't need 650 victims to get her executed not back in those times
Bathory...the Queen of the Karen's.
She was not a killer that all It's a fake from the Habsburgers because she Has to much Power and money for this time.. All people in this time was brutaly dont Tell lie about her!!! 😒😔
such a violent time all over, really she probably was so cruel to the young girls that many died of the cruelty, like iron hot on the jas ad disease and endless things she diem \, they meant nothing in the life of a noble anywhere int he place, and so legend grew really to silly to have statement that did this bare hands, to the throat, it was just abject cruelty probably that was acceptable, like the legend of dracula, stupid to believe this
This docu full of screaming 😒 instead of good narration
I don't speak Italian, sorry..
It is very likely the charges against her were completely false.
No, because she was caught red-handed. Her excessive cruelty might be exaggerated, but her crimes weren’t.
@@khfan4life365 Why? Because so-called official documents say so? All those documents could have been faked and officials bribed by the same people who inherited her wealth and lands.
@@khfan4life365 she was never “caught red handed”. There’s literally no proof of the accusations made against her.
You must be on drugs 😂
eye witness testimony was all gotten by torturing the witnesses, Cept the man leading the investigation, who benefitted from her guilt as did all her family
now do Hillary Clinton
Bit slap dash this documentary, made for Sun readers
Not a great voice for a narrator
What about most men not being Monsters ?
46:11 what IS a woman, though?
A person that ushers in the demise of their own gender.
The Precursor to Meghan Markle!
There’s a theory that she suffered from an iron deficiency and when she indulged in blood she felt better, got a healthy flush/glow and became energized…possible! 🩸 ♥️ 🩸
drink christ blood
