Elizabeth's main collaborators after Anna's death were her maids

| | | | Erzsébet Báthory - Life: Encyclopedia II - Erzsébet Báthory - Legends The following lists some of the best known legends about Elizabeth Báthory. Although some are partly based on statements made by those interrogated after 1610, their truthfulness cannot be verified.
Erzsébet Báthory - Torture.
While interrogating Turks, her husband employed a device of torture: articulated claw-like pincers of silver; which, when fastened to a whip, would tear and rip the flesh to such an obscene degree that he abandoned the a ...

And her castle in which so many cruel deeds took place fell rapidly into ruin. Rising over the buried dungeons in that god-forsaken wilderness, a solitary tower, like some monument to Evil, is all that remains."
The player is then sent on a quest to the aforementioned tower with the goal of killing the Countess. Doing so provides the player with gold and treasure. Although there is no direct reference to th ...

Alternatively, it is believed that the Báthory family was inbred and that this may have helped cause various psychotic disorders that the family was known to have.

| | | | Erzsébet Báthory - Life: Encyclopedia II - Erzsébet Báthory - Guilt More than 300 people were interrogated before her death between 1611 and 1614. Despite several interventions by the Hungarian king, a regular trial never took place and the case remained open. The reason for this might have been that the palatine Thurzó did not want a trial against a member of the high gentry (with which he was reproached at the time). Moreover, Elizabeth’s nephew Gabriel Báthory was the ruler of Transylvania and Thurzó did not want to get into troubles with Transylvania. And finally, Thurzó’s properties were adjacent to those of Elizabeth a ...
