Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian noblewoman of immense wealth and power, stands accused of unspeakable acts. Descendant of royalty and aunt to a king, Bathory's life took a dramatic turn in 1610. She was charged with the torture and murder of hundreds of young women, a crime spree that would etch her name in infamy as the "Blood Countess."
Legends surrounding Bathory are as gruesome as they are alluring. Tales of blood baths intended to preserve her beauty and a thirst for vampiric youth enhancement have permeated popular culture in her name. But is there truth behind the sensationalism? Or is this another case where the reality is much, much worse than fiction?
Perhaps we’ll find out for ourselves on today’s episode of Idiopathic?
