Elizabeth Báthory
Hungarian countess and alleged serial killer (1560–1614)
The native form of this personal name is Ecsedi Báthori Erzsébet. This article uses Western name order when mentioning individuals.
Countess Elizabeth Báthory of Ecsed (Hungarian: Báthori Erzsébet, pronounced[ˈbaːtɔrɪˈɛrʒeːbɛt]; Slovak: Alžbeta Bátoriová; 7 August 1560 – 21 August 1614)[2] was a Hungarian noblewoman and alleged serial killer from the powerful House of Báthory, who owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary (now Slovakia).
Báthory and four of her servants were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and women from 1590 to 1610.[3] She and her servants were put on trial and convicted. The servants were executed, whereas Báthory was imprisoned within the Castle of Csejte (Čachtice) until she died in her sleep in 1614.[4][5]
The charges levelled against Báthory have been described by several historians as a witch-hunt.[6&
