VAMPYRES
ELIZABETH BATHORY
                   Elizabeth Bathory was born in 1560 to a family of
            lesbians, witches and satyrs. At 14 she gave birth to an illegitimate
          child and married a year later to Count Ferencz Nadasdy on May 8,
  1575.  While her husband was away Elizabeth began to visit her aunt, Karla
             Bathory and participating in woman's orgies. Soon
   after Elizabeth became obsessed with inflicting pain on peasant girls and
                     became involved in "black" majick.
    Elizabeth soon began seeing a black-clad stranger with a pale complexion,
 dark eyes and abnormally pointed teeth. The villagers, thinking the dark clad
                  figure was a vampyre, rumors started that
                        Elizabeth could be seen with blood dripping out of her mouth.
             Once back in her castle, Elizabeth would have young
       servant girls  brought down to ' her Ladyship's torture chamber' and
     when they failed to  perform certain tasks she would torture them with
   branding irons, molten wax,  razors, torches and knives. Later on biting
 pieces of their flesh off their bodies. Elizabeth was beautiful with amber eyes
  and raven colored hair and very vain. When her beauty started to fade she
          tried to cover it up with  cosmetics and expensive clothes.
        One day when a servant girl was fixing Elizabeth's hair she angered
              Elizabeth. Elizabeth slapped the girl hard enough
        to cause blood to seep from her nose, the blood splashed against
                    Elizabeth's skin and when she  looked into the mirror where the
  blood hit, wrinkles appeared to have  disappeared. Now, seeing what could
   happen, ELizabeth had her servants collect peasant girls, and then had to
 killed, their blood collected so she could  bath in their virgin blood. Rumors
                 spread about vampyrism, once the bloodless
      corpses were found outside of the castle. With her husband and her
  advisor on how to stay young dead, Elizabeth seeked out another witch, who
                 told her the blood must be  of noble ladies.
   For over a decade Elizabeth mutilated and bathed in 650 young girls blood.
           Elizabeth was eventually found out about and tried with
        the servants that helped her find young girls to slaughter. All the
   torturers were beheaded, except for two, who's fingers were pulled off before
 they  were burned alive.  Elizabeth was found to be insane and was walled up
  in a room in the castle where her guards passed food threw a small hole to
           her.  Elizabeth died four years later on August 14, 1614.
