Elizabeth Bathory

In order to improve her complexion and also to maintain her failing grasp on her youth and vitality, she slaughtered six hundred innocent young women from her tiny mountain principality...

Pics? :camera:

This is what 'Cradle of Filth' thinks she looks like.
This album was written from her life.

Edit:
There's some more pics inside the packaging and on the discs.. I don't rtemember the model name, and don't have access to the cd atm.. but I never could find anything more on her. (NOT ingrid pitt)
 
When back in the castle, each batch of young girls would be hung, alive and naked, upside-down by chains wrapped around their ankles. Their throats would be slit and all of their blood drained for Elizabeth's bath, to be taken while the heat of their young bodies still remained in the thickening and sticky crimson pool.

Holy crap... that bitch lived for four years locked in a closet as her punishment? How the hell did she survive for four years alone in a closet?

Locked in her castle, and she was fed through a wall.
She was discovered dead as a young man peeked through the slot to steal a glimpse at her.
Even in her declining years, Erzsebet Bathory was purportedly one of the most beautiful women in Hungary.

It never ceases to amaze me what horrific acts people can do to one another.

The notion that Bathory bathed in blood to maintain her skin tone was possibly rooted in her gruesome torturous practices- she would emerge from her chamber drenched in her victims' blood, as a result from her proceedings.
 
Bathory was a good band/man. Emperor covered some of his songs. Never knew where the name came from... Quite interesting.

Yeah.. Guitar Player magazine some years back did a feature on the 'top 25 metal albums of all time'
Bathory's 1984 self titled album was on the list, as well as some other old school early black metal bands (Venom was included).
