Elizabeth Báthory — The Blood Countess — The Sinister Past
Winter, 1610. Armed men storm a Hungarian castle in the dead of night, torches raised against the dark. What they find inside — sworn to under oath — will make one noblewoman's name synonymous with horror for the next four hundred years.
In this episode, we explore the trial of Elizabeth Báthory, the Hungarian countess accused of torturing and murdering hundreds of young women — and the buried paper trail suggesting a king's debt and a family's fortune may have decided her fate as much as anything she actually did.
