Real story of Lady Batori. Countess Elizabeth Batori: Biography of the Blood Lady, her story. Located in the Guinness Book of Records as "The Most Mass Killer"

Hungary is one of the most mystical countries in the world. Here, as in neighboring Romania, the vampires in vampires are very strong. Moreover, in Hungary, a lot of legends are associated with representatives of one of the most evil species of vampires - Nosferat. For legends, misappropriate becomes illegitimate children of illegitimate parents.

But it seems that even more than the Vampires of the Hungarians worship the witches.

One of the main attractions of Budapest is the Gellert Mountain, named after the Holy Martyr. According to the legend of the Christian Hungarian Hungary, the rapidians sat in the grassland the barrel and dropped with this mountain. But Mount Gellert is more famous called Mount Witch. It is believed that in Valpurgiyev Night (May 1) the witches fly to her Shabash.

And next to the monument to St. Hellert is the Arzhbet Bridge, which Hungars called in honor of the witch in the flesh - Countess Erzhbet Batory. It is believed that the reasons that turned it into the bloody fury, lick in her childhood. The genus Batori in Hungary was highlighted by his knowledge, wealth, courage on battlefields and ambitiousness. In the 16th century, the genus was divided into two branches. Representatives of one branch that the surname Echheda settled in Mountain Slovakia, the representatives of the other by the Schomllo surname - in Transylvania. Because of the exorbitant sense of its own exclusivity, the Batory of both branches believed below their dignity to jacket with other nobles and as a result married relatives. Such a heightened caused by representatives of their kind, the presence of diseases such as epilepsy and madness. Ryrd Batory from the genus Echda and Anna Batori from the genus Schomillo, who had a daughter of Erzhbeth (Elizabeth), which had different since childhood, was distinguished by pain and unbalanced psyche, which was expressed in unrestrained flashes of rage on her side.

Although the bats were rich and powerful, but they lived in cruel time and differed themselves cruelty. For example, when Herzhbeth was still small, her aunt killed her two husbands, and then herself became a victim. She raped a whole squad of the Turks, after which she died.

As a child, Erzhbeth had chosen with the farmen, the son of a rich graph. And when she grabbed, he was married for him. But family life has flowed predominantly at a distance. Ferenz was constantly in various military campaigns, and then died at all from fever. The Herzhbeth, the lover's boredom, who was granted to himself, but over time disappointed in men and chose to satisfy his sexy whims with women. One of her sexual partners was even her native aunt. But the main occupation of the Countess was concern for her beauty. Since childhood, they all told her that she was unusually beautiful, overlooked her whiteness of the skin, big black eyes, long hair. The first wrist has become a real tragedy for Herzhbet.

According to one of the versions to the recipe for rejuvenation, Batory came randomly. The Hungarian historian Touroti talked about it like this:

"Once, one of the Kametok, the combing head of his Mrs., in something she was guilty and for his mistake she got such a strong slap, that blood splashed in the face of the Lady. When the Countess wiped the blood from his face, it seemed to her that the skin was much more beautiful at this place much more beautiful, whiter and thinner. She immediately decided to wash his face, and the whole body, in human blood, to increase their beauty and attractiveness. "

However, another version is more reliable that, in search of the secret of eternal youth, she decided to ask for help from the sorcerer Darvul, which, according to her order, was taken to her in the castle. Since childhood, Batory grew in an atmosphere of conversations about witchcraft, black magic and the power of unclean power. She read books on black magic and believed by the rites described there. Even in letters to her husband, when he was still alive, she recommended that Ferenca Padded to parse with enemies not with the help of weapons, and magical forces:

"Catch the black chicken, and eat it to the death of a white cane. Take blood, and spread a little on your enemy. If you do not have any opportunity to smear it on his body, get one of its clothes items and spread it. "

But since the Batori itself, the magic techniques did not help to become eternally young, over time she decided that she had an experienced in witchcraft, who would help to figure out how to use a magic theory in practice. And such a person for her was the coup. True, the sorceress did not invent something very exquisite. Her recipe was simple, but cruel. She said the Countess that to keep youth, you need to swim in the blood of virgins. Beauty for Herzhbeth was above all, and she resorted to this recipe. According to her order from the surrounding villages, they began to communicate in the castle of poor dishes, whom were killed, and their blood was filled with a bath for countess.

The main assistants of Herzhbeth were the two servants of Ilona Yo and Dorka, as well as Horbun Fitzko, hated the whole world for mockery over him. Gradually, the Countess became more and more bloodthirsty, she not only began to kill the girls herself, but did it with a special sophisticated cruelty, tormenting and torturing them for a long time. For example, girls alternately drove into a narrow cage, equipped with metal rods for singeling the victim. The cell was suspended under the ceiling, and the bottom sitting at the bottom was enjoyed the type of blood flowing on top. Sometimes, flowing into acendrigation, she took his own sacrifice to the sacrifice, crushing her body with scissors, staring up and migrating the wounds with hot iron rods.

However, the bloody baths did not become a panacea from old age, Herzhbet found all new signs of fading beauty. She was growing more and more in Darvlyul and that with fear came up with an excuse for himself, saying that the recipe was correct, only the blood of virgin verses was not required, but nobayok. Dorka and Ilona found twenty daughters from impoverished noble families and managed to persuade their parents to send girls to the castle to the Countess Batimu, where they could live in prosperity and it is possible to find a good party. After a few days, no one of these twenty girls remained alive. But their blood did not become magical. Without finding signs of rejuvenation, Batimi acted terribly. The sorceress of Darwall, only representing how to flour it can betray the angry countess, died from fear.

The priest, who for a long time had to disgust the victims of the bloody Countess, finally overcame his fear of her and wrote a letter about her villain to her relative with Diegue Turzo. Turzo and Herzhbet had disagreements because of the generic inheritance, and the Countess even attempted to poison him. Therefore, Turzo initiated the investigation of the crimes of relatives. But even during the investigation, Herzhbet did not stop his murders.

When Turzo with the soldiers forced the Countess to let him into the castle, they were found in the basement numerous torture devices, bloody chains, and also found a diary of the Countess, in which it was described as it killed 610 girls.

The trial of Herzhbeth and its minions began on January 2, 1611. According to the sentence of the court, Ilonu and Dorku burned on a fire, the pupil of Countess Gorbun Fitsky cut off his head, and then threw it on the same bonfire. Given the knowledge of Erzhbet Batori, the court retained her life, but exposed to painful punishment. The "Zhetsky Bestiya" was closed alive in a stone crypt in her Castle Chate. In Stone, the Countess Batori lived about 3 years old, without sunlight and communicating with people. Every day she was fed to food through a small hole, which was its only tie with the world. It seems that in imprisonment, her beauty is pretty preoccupied, and the skin from dirt lost its silkiness.

This woman ruined more than 650 lives.

Elizabeth (Erzhbet) Batimi On August 7, 1560 was born in one of the most notable and respected families of Hungary. Many rulers of Europe of the time came out of it, including the famous Stephen Batorywho was his native Uncle Elizabeth. But she glorified her genus exclusively as a "bloody graphics." Her name is even listed in the book Guinnessbecause more such monsters in the female did not create the world.

Children's Children's Children

Herzhebet was born from such a union. Her father Differ represented one of the branches of one kind of batsuators, and mother Anna - Other. All of their four children suffered from various mental and physical disabilities.

Unlike his older brother Ishthanwho has become a complete alcoholic already at a young age, Elizabeth grew out an externally absolutely normal child. She had a solid, almost male character, fluently owned Latin, German and Greek. And this is at the time when King Hungary himself with great difficulty read in syllables!

Marry maniac

At the age of 15, she was married for Ferenz NadasdiIn a couple of years, he became the commander of Hungary's troops in the war against the Ottoman Empire. A terrifying rumors went about his cruelty. Witnesses of His Range Over the Captive Compare Ferenc with the Graph Dracula chapeneFavors to plant on the number of their defeated opponents.

The young countess gave birth to her husband of four children (according to some sources, six), but saw him extremely rare, spending most of the time in the chthatitsky castle presented with them, surrounded by 17 villages.

According to one of the legends, she gave birth to a servant, whom the jealous husband neutered and threw a dog's conservatory, and a born girl without regret killed.

At that time, cruelty to the captive and servants was the usual phenomenon. Elizabeth Batory understood it at an early age when he could have a hot iron in the maid in the maid, but for the sowing needle that appeared on the hole appeared. Society for maids were generally an ordinary business. Later Elizabeth began to use "to re-educate" a dubbing servant.

Black-haired beauty with brutal soul

The history of the life of this woman is shrouded in such a number of legends that today it is very difficult to separate the truth from the fiction. Some sources tell about the huge number of her lovers, although you need to speak, most likely about mistresses.

Beautiful, but possessed by the cruel character of Elizabeth Batori preferred women that for the church was one of the mortal sins. Local priests endured it only because of the huge contributions to the church treasury and donations to the construction of temples.

At about the 25th age of Elizabeth entered a love relationship with Anna Darvulia, which clearly suffered from mental disabilities and died in 1606 from the attack of epilepsy.

Two devils found each other, after which the Slovak settlements around Chaktitsky Castle snatched a real horror. First, women to enhance the effect of their love jokes simply applied injury to the servants, pulling the pieces of flesh from their faces and chest, after which they gave the opportunity to the victims to expire blood themselves.

There were no problems to hide traces of our own crimes. Natural mortality at that time was high and the peasants who reported the death of daughters as a result of long-term diseases, were even glad of a small material assistance transmitted by the "noble" countess.

Husband should not interfere with pleasures

In 1601, the husband Elizabeth Ferenz Nadasdi returned from the next campaign and decided to treat the battle wounds at home. But something went wrong, and after a year and a half he stopped walking at all, becoming disabled. A year later, he died, leaving the Bator Elizabeth's only heir to his vast state.

Feeling complete freedom, the "bloody" Countess broke down. She began to practice jumping the skin with the victims, using red-hot tongs for the fireplace, as well as pour the servants with water in the cold, waiting until they turn into an ice pole.

Sewing needles became the most favorite torture torture. They drove under the nails of girls, after which the Countess offered the victim to get them on their own.

But it was just a game. If the girl did not try to get the needle, but he asked her tear, then he softened and could leave the victim alone at the time. If the maid tried to get the needle, then her fingers were mercilessly cut off. Seeing blood, Countess and Anna Darvulia literally pounced on the sacrifice and began to break her body with their teeth.

According to the testimony of the servant, one day from under the door of the toypsy room, such a number of human blood flowed, that it had to be filled with several buckets of coal, otherwise it would be easy to go along the corridor.

Most contemporaries believe that serial killers and maniacs are the "invention" of the XX century. But this is far from that. The very bloody serial killer, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is medieval countess Elizabeth Batory.

This maniac, who received a nickname bloody countess, has deprived of life about 650 girls, in whose blood she loved to take a bath. In this way, the Countess expected to preserve eternal youth ...

Sadist with childhood

Elizabeth (Elizabeth, Erzhebet) Batimi, born on August 7, 1560, came from a very informant branch of the Hungarian nobility. Her uncle Stephen Batory was the king of Poland, Grandfather Ishthan IV was Palatin Hungary. Palatin - the highest state office in the Hungarian Kingdom (until 1853). Sometimes called the Vice-King of Hungary. The Palatine combined the functions of the Prime Minister and the Supreme Judge of the Kingdom.

Elizabeth was gained at 11 years old with a famous nobleman Ferenz Nadaschi. At 15 years I got married for him. Almost immediately after the wedding moved to Cahtitsky (Cheitsky) castle in the Slovak Small Carpathians.

According to one of the legends, the bloody countess from his childhood loved blood and sadism. According to another version, her husband taught to the cruelty of Elizabeth. Which Turks called "Black Bay", for extreme cruelty to prisoners. But the fact that Batimi consisted in related links with the genus Basarabov-Dracleshti, to which he belonged to the unsolicited graph of Dracula, an absolute fact.

Be that as it may, but killing the bloody countess did not immediately. According to the official version, the first murder was accomplished in 1585. But the peak of crimes came at a later time. In 1604, the husband, to whom she gave birth to five children, folded her head in another battle with the Turks.

At that time, Elizabeth were already 44 years old, but at the evidence of contemporaries that had reached us, she still looked beautiful. However, the Countess itself, looking daily into the mirror, seeing more and more signs of the approaching old age.

Blood virgins

According to the most resistant version, Batori appealed to some sorcerer named Darvul. It was the one that advised the Countess to be washed by the blood of virgins to preserve beauty and youth. But it was necessary to kill in compliance with some rites. One of the main conditions was that it was required to kill and washed in the blood for the Christmas of Christ.

The sorceress stated that it was during this period from Christmas to baptism (12 days between Merry Christmas and baptism), otherwise ready to fulfill some desires for mortals. Including the youth return. And the victims needed to be sophisticated to torture, so that their suffering attracted the attention of those who could saturate the blood of the girls with a moratory force.

The most interesting thing is that bats, having wicked fresh blood, really felt the wrinkles on the face. It is quite possible that it was only self-sucking, but the Countess finally believed by the rite told by the sorcerer.

Since the winter of 1604, young peasants began to disappear in the district. And some who at the time of the loss were no longer virgins, sometimes returned home. Talking to parents, they were abducted by servants of the Batory Countess, and in the castle were subjected to sophisticated tortures and violence in which the hostess of the castle took part.

But in those days, it was more expensive to complain about so born. Moreover, peasants. What to say about there, if even a local bishop who knew perfectly about the fact that the Countess was fascinated by witchcraft, did not dare to inform about it in the Inquisition. After all, the complaints in the end could reach the nearest relatives of the Countess, which owned almost all the lands in the country and were the supreme judges.

And since in those days, church hierarchs often combined secular and spiritual positions (that in almost all Christian confessions is prohibited in almost all Christian confessions), there was no guarantee that he would not fall on some brother of the bloody countess. So he was silent, causing to be silent and his "subordinates."

Film error

At first, the missing young girls happened only in winter. But gradually the Batori herd is little only winter months and she began to order to deliver to her girls at any time of the year. Later, the locals were told that they saw, as the neighborhoods of the Castle of the dog were carrying parts of human tel.

The worried and bloodless bodies were found on the banks of the river near the castle. It was the blastness of the bodies who served as a reason to declare the Batori Vampire Elizabeth. But the countess did not drink blood. She bathed in it.
Initially, it looked like this: the servants and the servants of the Countess looked at the surroundings of young girls, kidnapped and delivered them to the castle. There, the Countess, hesitated over the victims, ordered to cut the neck and main arteries.

Blood merged into the gas, from which batsuators and washed their face and some parts of the body. But is it a lot of blood from one person? Litra four, less often five. So, a decanter one session "Young Harden" - began to deliver two or three girls.

But their common blood still was not enough. And Elizabeth Batori has already entered the taste. She no longer thought about rejuvenation, she liked the process of depriving girls of life. The countess came up with a new way of blood mining. According to one of the legends, this method suggested by the Dwarf Gorbun Janos Uyvili, according to the nicknamed Fitzko.

For his life, he was so often subjected to ridicule for his ugliness that he hated the whole human genus. And I read a lot about various torture drugs, presenting our offenders in them. Gorbun and told the Countess about a special torture vessel. " Who would not suggest a battoror this way of torture and preemring blood, but she realized him.

"Iron Maiden"

Somewhere in the distant regions of Elizabeth ordered the "iron virgin". So called a special adaptation for torture.

Iron construction in the form of a human body, a hollow inside and consisting of two drop-down halves. The person is placed inside, and then it is closed with the second half, from the inside of which sharp spikes that torment the body of the victim is adopted.

Batimi improved the design. In her "iron virgin" spikes were applied not superficial wounds, but pierced the body almost through. The mechanism itself was located above the bathroom, in which blood flowed. When liters were closed in the bath (that is, from at least six killed girls), Bator undressed and plunged into this bath.

But for some reason, these baths were not saved from aging. The Countess again called for a sorceress to Darvlyul and demanded an explanation. The witch stated that the Batory itself is to blame for the fact that bathing in the blood does not bring the desired result. After all, she was also said that he should be killed and swim only for Christmas. And the countess violated this condition.

However, seeing that the Batori is about to touch and kill the sorceress itself, the bold hurried to twist. She said that everything can be corrected, but the blood is simple-voltage for such not suitable, noble virgins are needed.

Took "with political"

In the district there were quite a few impoverished nobles, and the bloody grafnary on the eve of Christmas in 1609 suggested the foil girls to come to her castle for the service. For impoverished childbirth, it was a chance, and young nobbled began to come to the chttytsky castle. Which soon got acquainted with the Iron Baby. And it became the main mistake of Elizabeth Batory.

When there were not only commoners in the chttitsky castle, but the nobility, the official authorities could no longer cover their eyes to rumors. Investigative events were conducted and it was found that the peak of the disappearances of girls in the vicinity of Chakhtitsky Castle accounted for Christmas holidays.

December 29, 1610 to the castle, accompanied by a couple of dozens of ladies, the Royal Palatin Dieurzo drove up. Without entering special conversations with servants, he drove into the courtyard and immediately rushed to the basement. Where he found Elizabeth Batory for bullying over the next victim.

But despite the fact that the bloody countess was "caught" with cash, "Elizabeth Batori did not appear before the court. She was just locked in the castle "where she died in 1614. The three of her maid, whose participation in the abductions of girls and bloody orgies was proved, were burned at the fire. Gorboon Fitzko cut off his head.

But still the locals argue that on the eve of Christmas and during this holiday in the vicinity of Cahtitsky Castle, which has become a tourist attraction, are very strange and terrible things.

It is possible that these rumors serve only for additional attraction of tourists. But it is possible that not only ... because in the legends and myths of almost all the peoples, it is argued that there, where the line between reality and otherworked at least once was thinned, there is always a danger to encounter inexplicable.

Maxin Leonov

Killer in world history. A terrible woman who tortured several hundred people, received incredible pleasure from it. On August 21, 2014, 400 years old from the day of the death of the sadist, bathed in the blood of his victims. However, recently historians put forward a new version, in which the famous Elizabeth Batori was slandered and fell victim to intrigue. Let's try to figure it out, who is actually this lady, so afraid to lose women's attractiveness.

Cruelty and debauchery

One of the biggest provinces in Romania was always considered the birthplace of the dead on the night of the graves of the dead. Everyone knows the Aristocrata of Vlad Dracula from Transylvania, about which many films have been shot and many books are written. In the historic region of the century later, in 1560, in a very wealthy family, which did not differ in high moral principles, the girl Elizabeth (Elizabeth), which was in distant relationship with the famous Romanian prince appeared.

Noble part of that time was engaged in blood monastery, pathological cruelty and full debauchery reigned, the descendants of one dynasty were married, and they were born patients not only by the body, but also the spirit of children. And the genus Batori was no exception: in the family, insane appeared in the family.

Permissiveness

According to researchers who have not only natural beauty, but also a living mind of a girl did not bypassed mental disorders. It stand out against the background of the remaining aristocrats with high intelligence, as well as the ability to grab on the summer of knowledge. Elizabeth (Herzhebet) Batimi perfectly owned three foreign languages, while the rest with difficulty even read.

The girl born in a noble family perfectly understood its advantages and knew that she was literally everything. Her unfortunately covered wild rage. She was taken to beaten by the maid of the Major Provinity and stopped only when they fell unconscious. Since childhood, the young countess, who often changed the mood, was greatly pleasure, observing how the terrible wounds are soooed. Such beating took place daily, and showing cruelty for anyone Elizabeth Batori even began to keep a diary, where it described in detail what was happening. Girl's parents knew about her sadistic inclinations, but did not attach particular importance to this. I woke up in early childhood cruelty with age turned into a real pathology.

Marriage

In 1575, the 15-year-old Countess is married to the famous commander, the owner of numerous land of Nadaschi, which for a cruel attitude to prisoner Turks called "black twist of Hungary". The spouse gave Elizabeth a truly generous gift - a Chakhtinsky castle in the Carpathians, where she independently led the farm, since the valiant warrior spent all the time in battles.

Family life was difficult to call happy. The husband often left the young wife, and she soon launched a lover from the servants. The Nadasdi revised his opponent decided to teach him and rained the flock of hungry dogs. Sumpered on the brotherhood of the wife of Elizabeth Batori, whose biography is full of riddles, decided to have fun in the same way, and then her sadistic potential was realized in all its glory. For example, for the slightest locality, she could stick to the servant with scissors. Over time, bloody fancy aristocrats reach their apogee.

Delight from torture and murder

Cold to human suffering heart Elizabeth did not softened even after the birth of children, and pathological inclinations every day manifest everything more clearly. The cruelty did not know her borders: the Countess beat the servant Dublin, pierced them various parts of the body, enjoying the type of blood flowing. Slovak workers who were subordinate to the Hungarian owners, became their full slaves with whom those who were doing anything. And the killing of serf peasants who did not have the right to vote were not considered something illegal in those times. They were cruelly punished, and the servants did not even hope to defend the justice.

Underground torture chambers were located both in the main residence of the Batori and other family estates. It was a real theater of human suffering, where over the unfortunate victims were mocked very long and also slowly deprived of life. To kill and torment people, the countess helped her personal servants.

New bullying

After the death of her husband, Elizabeth, who received a nickname of a bloody countess, with even greater fiercely proceeds to bullying. It is known that the hostess puts his mistress among his female workers, who shares the hobbies of Mrs. With her batimu feed, makes girls to serve naked even in a latter cold. She pested them with ice water and leaves to die painful death in the cold. When the aristocrats did not have real reasons to punish the maids, she comes up with fictional misconduct, for which the punishment is very cruel.

Lady Elizabeth Batori trampled the skin from his workers, tortured them with a hot iron, causing torches, cut the body with scissors. Most of all, she loved to score needles under the nails of the girls, and when they tried to remove them to get rid of severe pain, cut off the shaft on the ax. The countess literally fell into Euphoria, watching the victims, and busted their body teeth, enjoying the type of warm blood.

Purchase from peasants daughters

New fun Elizabeth Batori was that the woman traveled around the country and was looking for poor and beautiful virgins - living toys for their terrible entertainment. It was absolutely difficult to do it, because the beggar of the peasants with her daughters for a small amount. They thought that in a rich estate, girls would begin a new and happy life, and did not even guessed, what a terrible flour tolerate children.

Parents said that their frivolous daughters ran away with men or died of deaths. However, rumors about the bad estate quickly spread in the district, and new graves appeared in the forest, in which 10-12 people were buried immediately, explaining the death of the Sudden Sea. Soon wanting to give children to the Aristocratic child, it was not even for good money, and young women were unceremoniously kidnapped or found in the most distant villages.

Blood baths

Why did the girls who did not know the love needed the countess? It is believed that Elizabeth Batori, who was fascinated by black magic, bathed in their blood to stay young and beautiful. Excessively vain and narcissistic woman who began to lose their appeal, it was difficult to hide the deep wrinkles under cosmetics. She was attributed to the classes of black-based, and the locals considered her a terrible vampire. True, as it turns out, it's completely in vain, because the blood of her victims she never saw.

According to old legends, the excessive experience of the beauty of the Countess during the next tortures of young girls discovered that there, where their blood came, the skin again acquired elasticity and tone. Elizabeth, who communicated with witches and meanheads, decided that he found his secret of eternal youth, and the desire to kill only increased. The most beautiful girls were assigned to the dungeon, and the rest were sent to heavy work. In the chamber of torture over the peasants, fir-handed counteans were killed, and soon the Batori broke off by the cries of Elizabeth personally proceeded to executions.

When helpless sacrifices could no longer stand and pierced on the cold floor from pain, they cut the arteries and merged all the blood in the bath, where the aristocrat was immersed, which dreams of becoming the same as in his youth. She sacred believed that she found the secret of eternal attractiveness. To simplify the task, the sadistka ordered the "iron virgin" - a hollow figure consisting of two parts and stuck with sharp needles. When the unfortunate girl was placed inside the torture gun, the spikes pushed her body through, and she expired blood, which pulled straight into the bath through the flow at the bottom.

The number of victims is growing

Over time, the Countess began to torment daughters from noble families. She killed the peasants, but the results did not bring it: the aristocrat of rapidly lad. The depressed woman turned to a famous witch, which advised the use of blood not commoners, but noble girls. So the wave of new killings begins.

Elizabeth promised the poor nobles that they teach their daughters to the course of secular manners, and parents were brought without fear to the castle of Batori in the chuck of their children, the fate of which was predetermined. A few weeks later, all the girls died terrible death, and mutilated bodies were added every day. Soon parents scored alarm, and Batimi failed to hide the death of noble people. She came up with a legend about the beautiful beauty crazy, who lifted her girlfriends with an ax and committed suicide.

Terrible finds

The bloody countess thought only about how he was imperceptibly buried so much corpses, and betrayed the land of tortured women without any ceremony. The priests who suspect the unkind, did not silence and soon called her a terrible beast that destroyed many lives. They refused to span on all the religious rules of the victims of Elizabeth, and Batimi, so as not to call the new noise, cut into small pieces of the body and buried the remains in the field. Often, she threw out the dismembered bloody corpses into the water, where they were frightened fishermen.

Some whispered that there was a terrible werewolf in these places, others remembered Vlad Dracula, who could rebel from the grave and kill people with special cruelty. However, soon it became clear - evil at nothing. Several girls were able to escape from the estormal countess and told what monstrous atrocities are doing there. Lutheran priest Magyari publicly called Batori a terrible beast, but insane rituals continued. Monster's assistants every night was closed the blood on the floor, but one day it turned out so much that they did not come up with anything better, how to throw this place to coal so that you could pass.

The end of the atrocities

When the huge state of the Bator's Countess was dried, the bloody story went to his end. In 1607, the aged Elizabeth sells generic estates for the side of the names, and her relatives, frightened not so much by the stories about the mystical rituals passing in them, how much the fact that the insane aristocrat dilutes the earth, asked to investigate. Rumors about terrible atrocities reach the emperor, and he sends an armed detachment to a Chakhtinsky castle. Arriving soldiers broke into the fortress and found the Council for the next murder. She and her servants who spent the bloody rites were detained with political. In the underground caases, they found thai with dried blood, cells where unfortunate captives, "iron virgin" were contained.

When I found an irrefutable proof of atrocities - a diary of the Countess, in which she described all torture with pleasure, it was useless to unlucky.

Consequence and sentence of sadist

The consequence began, during which the twelve female telescreen corpses were discovered in the dungeons, and in the closed process, eyewitnesses and servants told the whole world about the atrocities of the Countess. Soon the Hungarian parliament accused a woman in murders, and at the court they read the diary of the representative of a significant kind, which surpassed all serial maniacs in the number of victims and special cruelty.

In early January 1611, sentences were read. The girlfriend, who helped to kill, executed, but since the genus Batori was very influential, the aristocrat was helped by a high position, and she was sentenced not to death, but a life imprisonment. Countess was inspired in the fortress, leaving only a small hole for the transfer of food. The criminal, who lived for three years in the eternal darkness and stuffy, guarded the servants attached to her children, and a few weeks before his death, the murderer was allowed to draw up a will and announce the latter will.

It is believed that the "Chakhtitsky monster" buried at the walls of the castle in August 1614, next to the remains of her numerous sacrifices. However, there is evidence that local residents have opposed the burial of the Countess, and her remains transported to the family crypt of the castle Echd. The story about the bloodthirsty monster became a legend, and the fiction is very difficult to distinguish from the truth.

Is it fabricated?

Why now in the case of the notorious Countess, everything is not so unambiguous? Researchers are confident that there were no eyewitnesses, but the recruitment of servants are escaping under torture. It is not by chance that the witnesses of the events happened immediately executed, and numerous inconsistencies in the case lead to reflections.

Of course, Elizabeth Batory took anti-aging baths, but instead of the virgin blood, she used various herbal infusions that gave the skin elasticity. If we consider that it ruined the lives of more than 600 women, then it would have enough blood for thirty weeks. And eyewitnesses stated that she took the bath four times a month.

Sacrifice of the intrigues of the Church?

The fact is that the Kingdom of Hungary until the XVI century was a Catholic state. However, after the spread of Protestantism, which at first he was considered heresy, armed clashes between adherents of two religions began. The fierce struggle took place against the background of the Turkish invasion, and the Catholic priests, who gave testimony against Elizabeth and dreamed of eliminating the influential Protestant, laid eyes on her irreplaceable wealth. In addition, the main prosecutor claimed part of the land of the Batori, and consider it an impartial judge during the process is extremely difficult. And all the huge state of the Countess was a promising piece for degrees. This practice existed before: wealthy people were accused of serving the devil, and in the meantime the city treasury was replenished.

According to experts, sources, thanks to which the Hungarian aristocracy acquired a reputation as an abnormal sadist, is not entirely reliable, since the authentic documents, where the real story of Elizabeth Batori told, were destroyed by order of the authorities. And after the death of the Countess, new rumors and speculation appeared.

Prestigious premium

In 2014, the tourist project dedicated to the Countess Batori was awarded a prestigious award. Located on the top of the High Hill, a Chakhinsky castle, in which atrocities were created, after a large-scale restoration opened for the guests of the country, and more than 80 thousand people were already visited. In the same year, 400 years old in Hungary celebrated from the day of the death of the infamous aristocrat, and everyone could try the "Bantim Blood" wine.

Local authorities intend to create a special organization to unite every effort to attract tourists from different parts of our planet.

Now no one can say for sure, who is actually famous for the whole world Countess Elizabeth Batory. The minds of the researchers will still worry the ambiguous personality, which is considered a criminal. And the locals, by rumors, hear the loud moans from the generic castle of the killer, which are terrified the entire district.

Always lived not only alchemists who were looking for Elixir immortality, but also simple ignorant mortals! In pursuit of immortality were good all means. Some turned to black magic, trying to contact the devil to overtake themselves in the other. Other people went more terrible and cruel ...

(Elizabeth Batori) belonged to, so to speak, the cream of the Hungarian Society of the XVII century. It originated from the ancient aristocratic clan, followed by pretty bad fame. Goloss walked that representatives of this family practiced and knew the devilish forces. In the young years, Herzhebet Batori was surprisingly beautiful. She walked early for the Hungarian aristocrat, and after the widow became relatively early.

Although male attention was little concerned about the young widow. According to the untested, but very similar to the truth of the information, Herzhebet was a lesbian. At that time it was believed that the woman is the most beautiful than white her skin and hair; As a bleaching agent used blood body. Bathtubs from calf blood, which took young erzhebet, as can be seen, came across her thoughts about human blood.

However, all this is still ahead. Her husband Erzhebet Batimi often was away, participated in many wars. And the young wife in the company's girlfriend was indulging in cruel entertainment: at first she was content with the fact that she went to the hunt, where she gladly watched the suffering and death of animals, and after the people went to the torture of people.

Usually, she alone or with the help of a devoted maid lured the girls from poor families, offering them to go to the service in the castle. Moreover, chose the most beautiful of them. Agreeing at the Bator's Counsels, the girls immediately fell into the torture chamber, where they were tied in different ways for many days. As a result, when beautiful bodies turned into bloody pieces of meat, unfortunate killed and buried in the vicinity of the castle.

But these sadistic entertainment did not end. The legend says that one day Elizabeth Batori, who had rolled up, met the ugly old woman on the road and began to mock her. The old woman, without having an afraid aristocrat, in response, said: "Wait, soon you will be the same as me." Since then, the fear of old age settled in the soul. She wanted to keep youth and beauty at any cost.

Just then she seriously thought about baths from human blood. It is not known how often Herzhebet took them and how many people ruined. Talk about the Grand Peter, after which the Batory Countess killed 60 young girls and then took the bath from their still warm blood. Nevertheless, aging did not cost her side.

Then she decided that the blood of Proshroud was not enough "Clea"; As a result, she began to lure into the castle of girls from the poor noble families, promising for a brief service to provide them with dowry. Of course, none of the unfortunate lived before the promised reward: everyone was expected to be a terrible death. Here is a description of one of the ceremonies that the Countess conducted with its faithful servant Dorco:

The blacksmith, well paid and intimidated by terrible threats, under the cover of the night was the incredible, almost a low-blank metallic device, which was a cylindrical cell from metal blades bonded by iron hoops. It could be assumed that it is intended for some kind of giant bird. But inside it was littered with sharp spikes.

By order, Herzhebet Batori, at night, this is a terrible device, suspended under the vaults of the Vienna House, was lowered by the levers.

Dorko appeared, which dragged along the basement steps for the naked maid's loose hair. She pushed the unfortunate in a terrible cage and locked it there. Then the device lifted upstairs. By this time, the Herzhebe of Batori appeared. Dressed in white linen underwear, she slowly entered and sat on the chair under the cage.

Dorko, taking a sharp iron pin or a hot church, tried to poke the granite, who, leaning back, stumbled on the cell spikes. With each blow, the stream of blood was intensified and the glasses did not sit below the Countess at the bottom, he semidiously staring into the voidless eyes.

When everything ended, the girl in the cage fell, having lost consciousness and slowly died. Catalina Benzechi came, in the duties of which was to wash off the blood to the last drop. After a funeral party of servants with an old coffin went down to the basement. In Vienna, where the victims of Herzhebet were not so numerous, as in the check, they were buried at nights in the cemetery under the pretext that the epidemic broke out. Or Dorko and Catalina attributed bodies for the next evening in the nearest field.

About the bloody functions of the Countess soon became known. She was called the "monster" and "bloody creature", but no one dared to raise the voice - too ancient and powerful was the genus Batori. Even the priests were silent, saving terrible car from the side of the Countess.

And yet the hunting for young aristocrats has become a fatal erroble mistake. While she killed ordinary peasants, she went with her hands, but the killing of girls from noble families should have been sooner or later to attract the attention of the authorities. Ultimately, the royal governor with armed soldiers appeared in the castle, where he found explicit signs of killing many girls. Castled by surprise, the Countess did not deny his involvement in crimes. Moreover: she stated that her position gives her the right to torture to kill everyone he deemed necessary.

The sentence of the royal governor was brief:

Herzhebet, you are a wild animal. Your days are discussed, because you are unworthy to breathe ground air and live under the light of God. You no longer belong to the human race. You must disappear from the face of the earth. Shadows will surround you in your balance of life, forcing them to repent of their atrocities. Maybe God will forgive you. I deny you to an eternal conclusion in your own castle.

A long trial, which took place, confirmed the initial sentence. It was drawn to the nearest servants and servants of Herzhebet Batimi, helped torturing her victims. Here is the testimony of one of them:

- 16 years old, from 1594; Martin Cheite brought me forcibly.

- Whom have you killed? Where did you bring girls from?
- I do not know.
- Who brought them?
- Dorko and another woman went on their search. They assured their parents that girls will be in the Countess service and will contact them well. For the whole month, we waited for the last girl from the remote village, and she was killed immediately. Women from different villages agreed to supply girls. I myself left six times in search with Dorko.

There was a woman who did not kill, but only Kononila. Woman named Jan Barsovney also hired a servant from the district of Taplanafalv; Also, a Croatian woman from Charhruar and the wife of Matyas, living opposite the Zhalai House. One woman, Cabo, brought girls, even her daughter, knowing that she would be killed. Yo Ilona also brought them. Kata did not bring anyone, but buried the girls killed Dorko.

Mrs. Collane with their needles, she killed a girl from the Sitka for the fact that she stole a pear.

In Kerez, killed a young noble girl from Vienna; The old woman hid the corpses, and then buried them; I helped them to bury one in a diol, two - in Kereztura and one - in Charman.

Mrs. always awarded the old woman, after they successfully tormented the girls. Mrs. Samed of the body of girls with forceps and cut the skin between her fingers. She took them naked, in winter to the street and dip in ice water. Even here, in Beach, when Mrs. was going to leave, she forced one maid to stand on her neck in ice water; She tried to escape and for it they killed her.

Even if the mistress did not torment them herself, it did old women. Sometimes the girls were left for a whole week without food and drink; We were forbidden to bring them anything. For some provinicity of the seamstress had to perform work naked in front of men.

- Where drove the corpses and how many were there?
- there was an old woman who bury. I myself buried four. They were buried in several castles: the lentilice, Kereztura, Charmanar and Bechko. These girls were frozen alive, as they were doused with water and put it on the frost. One of the girls ran away, but she was caught.

- How long did the Countess deal with torture?
- Everything began when her husband was still alive, but then she did not kill anyone. The count knew about everything, but did not pay special attention. But with the advent of the darvuli torture became more cruel. Mrs. had a small box with a mirror, looked in which she uttered spells with integer nights.

The sorceress of Mayorow from Mayava prepared a special potion, which brought a decanter, and took over her once at night in the water, which was used to prepare the test. After she delivered the remaining water into the river. After she reacted her second time in the remaining water, she kneaded in this quinet dough for a cake, which was intended to king, Pafalzgraf and Medgeri. Those who ate it got sick.

As a punishment, bloody countess was inspired in her own castle in the room where she tortured her victims. For communication with the outside world, they made a small window, in which she was given food. Herzhebet Batori lived here for another 5 years.

How many girls she ruined, unknown. In her notebooks found a mention of 610 victims. Apparently, this list is not exhausted.

Erzhebet Batori had followers. In fact, faith in the fact that it is possible to extend their lives if you borrow the vitality of another person lives and in our time and drives many male males. Nevertheless, really to prolong its life to any of them, fortunately, was failed, and some more and reduced it with an electric chair ...
