The prototype of Bloody Mary is Mary I (Mary I, February 18, 1516 ~ November 17, 1558), Queen of England and Ireland (theoretically she was born on July 6, 1553, Actually reigned from July 19 until her death on November 17, 1558). She was the fourth monarch of the Tudor dynasty and an extremely devout Catholic. Her main deed was her efforts to restore England from Protestantism to Roman Catholicism (1555). To this end, she executed nearly three hundred opponents. And called "Bloody Mary" (Bloody Mary). Since then, Bloody Mary has become synonymous with witch in English. But her religious policies were largely subverted by her successor Elizabeth I

The most common and least credible statement in major domestic forums) Legend has it that there are four major haunted houses in Europe. One of the most noisy haunted houses is located on the outskirts of Budapest. This is a medieval castle, and its owner was the then-famous Countess Lee Custer. During her lifetime, it is said that more than 100 young nobles died in duels for her. Even when she was 60 years old, two romantic young poets committed suicide with swords because they could not get her favor. In the end, the judge ordered her to be buried alive in the basement. It is said that her smile when she was buried alive was still very innocent and sweet, and the executioners were stunned. What kind of charm made them crazy like this? How beautiful is she? According to unofficial records, she appeared in front of everyone at a grand dinner party held by Count Lee Kester, wearing a long flowing dress. Her long black hair fluttered in the air, her two jewel-like eyes contained a breathtaking light, her fiery red dress was like flowing flames, wrapping her slender body like white jade, and her whole person was like a moving fire. of elves. When she stopped, the silver-white moonlight shone in from the window, making her radiate a charming light. They couldn't figure out whether Countess Lee Custer was an angel descending to earth along the moonlight, or a saint who was about to float to the heavenly palace along the moonlight. It is said that her beauty has been maintained for nearly 50 years, and her secret recipe for beauty is truly terrifying. She bathes in blood. And only the blood of pure girls is used. She believes that only by soaking in their pure blood can she continuously absorb the essence and keep her young forever. Before each bath, she had to drink at least half a liter of blood, which she called "internal washing." She takes a bath and kills at least two girls. In this way, during the long and dark 50 years, 2,800 girls were brutally murdered in one day, and all the bodies were buried under her private bathroom. This was also her idea, because she believed that the souls of girls could drive away aging and dullness. Because she often bathes in blood, she always has a strong smell of blood on her body. But she never covered it up with any perfume and let it be natural. The combination of beautiful appearance and bloody smell produced an indescribable enchantment that attracted countless young nobles. For a time, the fame of Countess Lee Custer spread far and wide across the European continent, and even the French Emperor Louis XIV traveled thousands of miles to fall under her pomegranate skirt. This is where the name of a cocktail called "Bloody Mary" comes from. Until later, the Great Revolution broke out. The angry crowd seized Countess Lee Custer, who was almost 70 years old. In the fury of the crowd, they burned her alive in her own bathroom. And sealed the castle. From then on, a generation of queens disappeared. However, in the next 400 years, every full moon night, waves of resentful wailing like waves would come from the castle, as if thousands of ghosts were crying at night, and thousands of souls were wailing, even 10 miles away in Budapest. All residents can hear it. Unable to bear the disturbance, they invited priests and warlocks to exorcise the soul. As a result, even the masters in the Vatican and Jerusalem were unable to do anything. In the end, the Pope had no choice but to list this place as a forbidden area, prohibiting mortals from entering and exiting. (To this day, on the outskirts of Budapest, this old castle still bears the papal seal. Not far from it, there is a local sign: Tourists not allowed.) There were many weird and terrifying stories throughout medieval Europe, but Lee K. The Countess of St. is well-deservedly called the number one bloody beauty.

Countess Elizabeth Báthory and Count Lee Báthory are the same person. Countess Elizabeth Báthory of Hungary is located in an area called Le ?achtice (Lee Custer County), hence the name Bloody Lady of ?achtice\Countess Of Le ?achtice. Also, calling her "Count" is too forced. In fact, she is "Countess". Moreover, the number of people she killed was not 2,800, but 680 (the dictionary explanation is "around 500 people"). You can see the 2010 Guinness World Records. As for what is written above: "The long black hair is dancing in the air, the two jewel-like eyes contain a breathtaking light, the fiery red dress is like flowing flames, wrapping her slender body like white jade, the whole person is like a "A group of moving fire spirits" can be regarded as nonsense. Elizabeth Barlett was indeed a beautiful woman, but she had no admirers and no men died for her. It is also false that "she was burned to death in the bathroom by the angry crowd". She actually died in prison and was only 54 years old when she died. So about her "it is said that she was still doing well in her sixties" Nor is it true. As for the sentence "The castle was later sealed by the Pope and became one of the four most haunted houses in Europe", it is also nonsense. Lee Kester Castle was occupied by the rebels of Ferenc II Rákóczi in 1708 and has been corrupted since then. It is now in ruins. It had been inhabited before then, so it couldn't have been sealed. The third theory (somewhat similar to the second theory, but different): Others say it is Elizabeth Bathory (Elizabeth Bathory) in the 16th century, (1560 ~ 1614) a woman who liked to brutally torture beautiful servants and Country young girls lesbians. She is usually referred to by her Hungarian name Erzsebet. The castle of Csejthe, where the Countess lives, is built on the top of a hill in the Hungarian mountains of the Carpathians. On a vast expanse of land at the top of the mountain, it resembles a fortress. From there, you can look out onto the village of Csejthe. And this is also the devil's cave where the countess indulges in bloodthirsty carnival. The farmers in the village bitterly called her the "bloodthirsty countess". The countess in "Diablo" is talking about her, and her name is mentioned repeatedly in the Dark Hall. There is also a feature film on the Discovery Channel that also mentions this. She is the famous Blood Countess in history and a real vampire. At that time, she was famous all over Europe. She believed that the blood of young virgins made her look permanent. Countess Elizabeth may have also provided inspiration for Stoker's Dracula. In 1546, Vlad Dracula (the legendary vampire, the protagonist of the movie "400 Years of the Vampire") and an expedition led by the Transylvanian prince Steven Bathory came to Wallachia to fight for the former ruler. of the throne. Nearly a century later, Steven Bathory's successor, Countess Elizabeth Bathory herself became the embodiment of terror in Transylvania. The following is the story of Elizabeth Bathory. Elisabeth Bartoli was born into the famous Bartoli family in Hungary in 1560. The Bartoli family is a famous noble family that has a deep relationship with the Habsburg dynasty. There are people who have served as kings of the Duchy of Duran Siluvinia in the past dynasties. They are a famous family among the famous families. The family had many powerful relatives—including a cardinal, princes, and a cousin who served as Prime Minister of Hungary—but the most famous was Istvan Bathory, the Transylvanian Prince Ya and was the King of Poland from 1575 to 1586. It is said that Elizabeth showed violent tendencies when she was 4 or 5 years old, which may have been caused by epilepsy or other neurological diseases, and may be related to her "psychotic" behavior later in life. (Like most aristocratic dynasties in Europe at that time, her family was also plagued by mental illness caused by incest.) King Stephan of Poland is one of her more famous relatives, and she also has an abusive A bisexual aunt and a schizophrenic uncle.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Elizabeth has suffered epilepsy attacks since she was 4 years old. She was spoiled from an early age, surrounded by a group of governesses who catered to her every need. Despite her sudden illness and withdrawn personality, Elizabeth was regarded as an intelligent and capable young woman. As a child, she witnessed the execution of a treacherous gypsy. They stuffed the poor gypsy into the belly of a horse that had been cut open alive and sewn inside. There was no trace of sympathy or pity for the death of the victim on the executioner's face. This incident made Elizabeth understand one thing - it was this incident that made her cruel personality begin to sprout - killing a civilian without punishment and fear of retaliation. Elizabeth has an incredible, cold beauty. Anyone who sees her deep black eyes will feel unreasonably uneasy. From a very young age she had a proud, queenly air. Her amber eyes projected cruelty, forming her gorgeous and coquettish appearance. She loves her beauty more than anything else. Lying on the bed with a mirror and staring at your own face, you will never get tired no matter how long it takes. You can never see her smile in the mirror because of her narcissistic desire to be more beautiful. At the age of 14, she gave birth to a baby with a peasant's son in the castle of her future mother-in-law (Countess Ursula Nadasdy). As early as the age of 11, she was engaged to Baron Ferencz Nadasdy. On May 8, 1575, a luxurious wedding was held in the city of Valano, when she was fifteen years old. Emperor Maximilian II of Prague also sent congratulatory messages and gifts. She married a prestigious but cruel battlefield hero - the 26-year-old Count Ferencz Nadasdy. The baron was a warlike man who would rather fight on the battlefield than enjoy a peaceful life at home, so the locals gave him the nickname "Hungary's Black Hero." No one in society at that time advocated women's liberation, but Elizabeth retained her surname. Her husband also changed his surname to Ferencz Bathory. A marriage like hers was not surprising at all in the aristocratic circles at that time. It was entirely a political marriage directed by her opportunistic mother. The Nadasdy family has also improved its social status a lot - the Bartoli family has greater power because of their seniority. Although there are many speculations about this marriage, it is an indisputable fact that Ferencz often goes out. During the first years of their marriage, Elizabeth was childless, and it was during this long period of solitude that Elizabeth's sadistic nature began to take hold. After moving to a new home, my husband went to war again. Under the watchful eye of her verbose mother-in-law, the Countess became more and more bored every day. She longed for the luxurious life in Vienna. While her husband was on the battlefield, Elizabeth visited her aunt, Countess Karla Bathory, who had homosexual hobbies. When their orgy was ordered to be banned, she truly realized what kind of stimulation she needed in her heart. Torturing girls with mature breasts gave her great pleasure, and she was not only satisfied with the physical pleasure, the study of black magic was also one of her hobbies. A valet in the castle, Thorko (Hungarian name Thorko), introduced her to a secret religious organization and began to encourage her to use magic, while also encouraging her to continue her sadistic behavior. Extreme vanity and narcissism made her behavior even more distorted. In her early twenties, Elizabeth slowly discovered the "pleasure" that tortured servants brought her out of boredom. Among her female servants, her targets were adolescent girls. She first tore their bodies apart with red-hot pliers, roasted them on the fire, or tortured them with a method called "star-kicking" (using oily paper between them). Fire was then lit between the toes of the victim, while Elizabeth herself watched as the victim painfully tried to kick away the sparks). She also once tore the heads of those girls in half (using tools to pry their mouths open and widening the angle until they broke their necks and died). In her less kinky days, she just forced the maids to do their chores naked in front of crowds of men.

Elizabeth continued to degenerate with the help of her wet nurse Ilona Joo, housekeeper Johannes Ujvary, wizard Darvulia and Dorottya Szentes, and ended up in a house called A place called "the Lady's torture chamber" where she subjected the maid to various forms of torture of her own invention. As she grew older, her desire for the flesh and blood of innocent young women only grew stronger. She invented many new torture methods, such as a kind called "sweet pain". She used irons, melted wax and knives to torture the maids, then took off their clothes, covered their bodies with honey, and finally Abandoning them in a grove full of hungry insects. There is also a method called "Water Pain", which involves stripping a girl naked, immersing her in zero-degree ice water, and pouring ice water over her head until the victim freezes to death. Throughout her life, Elizabeth suffered from severe headaches. Not only did she stab the maids with hairpins when she was attacked by unprovoked fits of restlessness, but she also tossed and turned on the bed and bit the maids who attended to her during epileptic fits. Hearing the girls' cries of pain, her own pain would magically disappear. When Elizabeth entered and exited the castle with a man with a full-body metal shell, the villagers began to believe that the man with a pair of dark eyes and jagged teeth was Dracula himself, who had arrived at Csejthe Castle. And some people have seen blood on Elizabeth's mouth. However, the mysterious stranger soon returned to the grave, and Elizabeth seemed unable to bear the loneliness. At one point, she even eloped with a "mysterious stranger." When her husband, Baron Nadasdy, returned to the castle, he surprisingly forgave his wife for her infidelity. During the first ten years of her marriage, Elizabeth had no children because her husband had little time to spend with her because of his "career". Later, from 1585 to 1598, Elizabeth gave birth to three children. Daughter, a son. In 1600, the 51-year-old Baron Nadasdy was poisoned and died. She drove her mother-in-law out of the castle and committed more atrocities. Prior to this, legends had circulated that the Madam secretly abused her maids, often resulting in their deaths. Despite the dangerous reputation, poor people's daughters still did not hesitate to go to the city to make a living. There was an ugly dwarf named Yanosiu who was ordered to search for targets in nearby villages. The girls originally entered the city as if they were going on an outing. But once you enter the gate, your chances of survival are slim. As time passed, Elizabeth became increasingly vain. But she is also getting older, and her beautiful appearance is disappearing little by little. Thus began the legendary and infamous "blood bath". One day, a maid accidentally pulled one of Elizabeth's hair while combing her hair. She was furious and slapped the maid wildly. Blood spurted out from the maid's nose and splashed on her face. . And a miracle happened when the Countess looked in the mirror at the spot where her face was spattered with blood. The skin stained by blood gradually faded away from the traces of time and returned to its former beauty. She was overjoyed. She consulted several of her accomplices, who convinced her that the blood of virgins was the legendary fountain of vitality that restored youth to those who bathed in it. She ordered the maid's throat to be cut and her blood poured into a huge bucket. Elizabeth bathed in the still warm blood. So, a horrific ritual began. With the help of the wizard, hundreds of girls, all young and beautiful virgins, were kidnapped and taken to Elizabeth's castle, tortured and drained of their blood. Elizabeth also often bit the necks and chests of those girls, sucking blood from the wounds and tearing away the muscles. From then on, the countess began to bathe herself in the blood of virgins. Whenever she came out of the bathtub filled with blood, the glory of youth seemed to return to her body. Elizabeth's minions deceived many virgins into the countess's castle under the pretext of hiring maids in nearby villages, and the blood-drained corpses of the girls were abandoned outside the castle. According to the trial record, the lady’s manservant gave the following testimony: “There were always four or five naked girls in the lady’s room. Because they were covered in blood, they looked as black as coal.” The room where I lived in Vienna was like a sea of ??blood, and I couldn't walk. To get to bed, sprinkle dust on the floor to prevent slipping.

She even ordered a complete set of execution tools from a German blacksmith; and soon after, a large-scale execution chamber was built in the basement of the Csjethe Castle where she spent most of her adult life. In addition to the famous blood bathing pool and the iron maiden, there are also thorn cages and iron thorn balls hanging from the ceiling. She ordered the farrier to make something like a birdcage, with sharp iron spikes pointing into the cage. Use a pulley device to hang the birdcage high on the patio. The cruel Dorka (English name Dorka) locked the girls in a cage and stabbed them with red-hot pokers. As soon as the girls stepped back, the iron thorns would stab their backs until they themselves pierced themselves through those On the iron thorn. Others were placed in the thorny ball (hollow, but with iron thorns facing the center of the ball inside). After being pushed, the thorny ball continued to make a pendulum motion like a pendulum until the body of the girl locked inside was completely torn apart. . During the execution, Elizabeth would stand under the thorn cage, and raindrops of blood would fall on the countess waiting to be bathed. Then you can enjoy the blood shower. At that time in Vienna, her reputation as the "blood-stained countess" had spread like wildfire. According to rumors, girls' wails could be heard every night at her residence in Vienna. When daybreak came, there was blood flowing in the streets. Elizabeth's reign of terror lasted for many years. The casualty figure had risen to three figures, as was later confirmed by a roster recovered from the Countess' writing desk. The bodies of the dead girls were either burned, buried under the castle, or left in the wild to be eaten by wild beasts. Shock waves of terror penetrated the neighboring towns, but no one dared to stand up and expose the countess's brutality. Even the clergy, who were supposed to be responsible for maintaining peace and justice, remained silent. Although the rumors are just rumors, Elizabeth's position gradually becomes critical. It is impossible for an extremely powerful noble to kill as many as 600 people without incident. However, direct action against her brutality was not carried out until she had "exhausted" all the teenage girls in the surrounding towns. Still, she was too careless. Unable to be satisfied with the blood of a lowly common girl, he actually wanted the blood of a noble girl. She began to extend her claws to those lower-level noble women. She built a false school, tricking girls from noble families into coming to her castle and promising to educate them, only to torture them to death. Toward the end of her marathon massacres, which began to get sloppy, she casually tossed the corpses of her victims outside the city to be devoured by wild beasts, or had priests bury severely injured girls alive. A priest finally reported the matter to King Matthias of Hungary, who began to investigate the countess's actions. The search for the city of Chot began in 1610. On December 30, the countess's cousin, Count Turso (Hungarian name Gyorgy Thurso), led a group of soldiers and cavalry to surround the castle. At the moment when the castle was about to be breached, bloody and cruel killings were still going on in the castle. When they arrived at the castle, the scene they saw was more terrifying than expected: officials with swords and torches walked towards the basement of the castle, and a strange smell assaulted their nostrils. A dead girl lay in the hall, and the other was dying, with holes all over her body. Others were hung from the ceiling of underground execution chambers, like digested dead deer. More than 50 bodies were exhumed from beneath the castle. Go inside to see other corpses. There are also people who are still alive. According to the testimonies of survivors, they were eventually forced to eat the flesh of their killed companions when there was no food to eat. Baron Thurso and the priest Janos Ponikenusz found the roster (the diary of the priest Berthoni) in the dresser of Elizabeth's bedroom, which listed the names of more than 650 girls who were massacred and the details of their killings. (Aadras Berthoni was a pastor of the Lutheran church in the village of Csejthe. When Elizabeth ordered him to burn the corpses that had been drained of blood, he realized the seriousness of the fact, so he put his suspicions and speculations to death before his death. The countess's three witch accomplices were captured, and the countess herself was imprisoned in her castle. In 1610, the countess and her accomplices were brought to court. The three witches finally confessed to the full extent of their crimes after being tortured for a long time, but they tried to minimize their role in the horror. In 17th-century Hungary, it was impossible for prisoners in prison to be paroled. All three pinned the blame on a fellow countess's co-conspirator, a witch who died a few years before the trial.

More than 200 witnesses were called to court, but most could only offer hearsay evidence. However, these confessions, like the horrific scenes witnessed by King Matthias and his soldiers, provided sufficient testimony for the court to convict the countess. In January 1611, the trial was held in Bitcse, Hungary. But Elizabeth did not appear in court and did not admit any crime. I must make a small digression here. The reason why Elizabeth could not appear in court was not due to her own choice. In fact, she had been begging her captor, King Matthias, to exonerate her. Unfortunately for her, King Matthias had no interest in her and arranged for her trial to be public. Although there was sufficient evidence to prove her guilt, we have to note that she was not allowed to attend her own trial and defend herself. Her accomplices were worse off, receiving no favor or forgiveness. Prisoner Yuna and Dorottya Szentes, the evil witch whose hands were stained with the blood of Christians, had all their fingers torn off with red-hot pliers before they were thrown into the fire. Another was beheaded and his body impaled on a tree stump. There was also a witch named Erszi Majorova who was beheaded later. Protected by her aristocratic birth, the Countess did not share the same fate as her accomplices. However, Thurzo (English name Thurzo) sentenced her in 1611 to never set foot outside her own castle. Rumor has it that he made his decision after "visiting" the torture chamber. (After refusing to serve as chaplain, she was sentenced to life imprisonment and was to be locked up in the castle until her death.) Once the sentence was confirmed, the masons went to the city to seal up all the windows. Although she was alive, it was as if she was buried in a huge dark tomb, with all the places where light could shine through sealed, leaving no gaps. Finally, in order to deliver food and water to her room, a small hole was cut in the wall. All the trial documents were hidden deep in the castle, and Baron Turso remained in the castle. On July 31, 1614, 54-year-old Elizabeth dictated her last wishes and will to two priests from Esztergom parish. She hoped that her family's property would be distributed equally among her children. However, her son Paul and his Descendants will be the basic successors. On August 14, 1614, a jailer wanted to get a good look at the countess, as she was still said to be one of the most beautiful women in Hungary at the time. After glancing through the small hole, he found her lying face down. On the ground, already dead. Elizabeth Bartoli died in her small room four years after being imprisoned. He died at the age of 54. The bloodthirsty countess of Transylvania finally died in agony. Her body was supposed to be buried in the church of the town of Cachtice, but the local residents were unhappy that the infamous woman was buried on their land, let alone in sacred ground. Taking this into account, and the fact that she was the last of the Bartoli family, her remains were buried in the northeastern Hungarian town of Ecsed, on the territory of the Bartoli family. Until her death, she never admitted her crime or expressed regret for what she had done. The tower where she was imprisoned still stands in the Slovak Republic. A transcript of that sentencing remains today in the Hungarian State Archives in Budapest. through the long centuries.
