Once again, on my social media feed:

"Elizabeth Báthory is one of the most prolific serial killers in history!"

No 👏 She 👏 Is 👏 Not 👏

It was a political trial. She was a widow with vast lands and lots of money. There is an entire book written by a legal historian about her trial and how it was constructed to grab her wealth.

She was definitely not a vampire, but she was also not a celebrity murderess.

I suspect something comparable with Gilles de Rais.
You mean from Nagy László or is there more?

köszi, utána nézek
The Salem Witch Trials in America were similar IIRC.
Those too! And yet every supernatural fantasy book makes them actual witches. Insult to injury.
good to know, thank you!
I also recommend a French graphic novel simply titled “Báthory”.
Yeah that's true. Sadly not only her but most historical figures are misrepresented in pop culture and by propaganda as well.
Some info on her family for the interested: They originate themselves from the famous dragon hunter, the god-fearing warrior called Vitus, who gave the clan it's first name. (Later Gutkeled, then Báthory.)
They were a much smaller and less important noble family in the time King IV. (Kun) László have them Szabolcs as their land.
