-	'''Countess Erzsébet Báthory''' ([[August 7]]?, [[1560]] – [[August 21]], [[1614]]), the '''Bloody Lady of Čachtice (Csejte)''', was a [[Hungary|Hungarian]] [[countess]] who lived in the [[Čachtice Castle]] in present-day [[Slovakia]], relative of king of [[Poland]] and prince of [[Transylvania]], [[Stefan Batory]].	+

-	She is considered the most infamous [[serial killer]] in Hungarian and Slovak history. She spent most of her life at the Čachtice Castle. After her husband's death, she and her four alleged collaborators were accused of torturing and killing dozens of girls and young women. In [[1611]], she was imprisoned in Čachtice Castle, where she remained until her death three years later. Her nobility allowed her to avoid trial and execution. Three of her four alleged collaborators were put to death.	+

-	The Báthory case has inspired many stories, featuring the Countess bathing in the blood of her victims in order to retain her youth. This inspired nicknames like ''the Bloody Countess of doom and death''.	+
