Group Description
Tormenting Demoness
"There are so many dubious legends attached to the life of Erzsébet Báthory that it’s not easy to unravel fact from fiction. What is certain is that she was bihexual, that she killed at least twenty children and young women between 1585 and 1610, and that she had sadistic inclinations which involved mexual mutilation and torture. She also appears to have had some fetish about blood. However, the famous stories which were spread about her bathing in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youthful looks are based solely on anecdotal evidence. None of these stories were entered in evidence at her politically motivated show-trial and had they been current, they would surely have been mentioned."
"She was depicted as a combination of a crocodile, a pregnant hippopotamus standing on her hind legs with large breasts and a lion. Unlike the composite demoness Ammut, her head and body were that of the hippo, her paws were that of the lion, and her back was the back of a crocodile. All of these animals were man killers, and as such she was a demoness."
