Welcome to Celebrate Poe - This is episode 342 - Confined to a Castle
This episode is the fourth episode of Celebrate Poe dealing with Elizabeth Bathory, the Hungarian countess accused of serial murder. Now it was next to impossible for a person of her statue to be imprisoned, so it was said that she was confined to a Castle in Slovakia in until her death.
The nature of Báthory's confinement - like the exact nature of her crimes - has been subject to some debate. Initially, it was believed that she was bricked into a room in the castle. However, documents from a visits by local priests in suggest she could move freely within the castle, indicating it was more akin to house arrest.
Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
