Byron.
"agonized, and full
Of inspiration gathered from distress,
when all the heart - strings like wild horses pull
The heart asunder;"
Of inspiration gathered from distress,
when all the heart - strings like wild horses pull
The heart asunder;"

Elisabeth Báthory
Also known as the Blood Countess, Elisabeth Báthory was a serial killer who lived in Hungary. Accused of killing over 600 victims she may be one of the most evil woman of all time.
She and four collaborators were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and young women, with one witness attributing to them over 600 victims In 1610, she was imprisoned in the Csejte Castle, where she remained bricked in a set of rooms until her death four years later.
The descriptions of torture that emerged during the trials were often based on hearsay. The atrocities described most consistently included:
severe beatings over extended periods of time, often leading to death.
burning or mutilation of hands, sometimes also of faces and genitalia.
biting the flesh off the faces, arms and other bodily parts.
freezing to death.
surgery on victims, often fatal.
starving of victims.
sexual abuse.
There are also accounts of the Countess bathing in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth.
The original Countess Dracula.
