'''Erzsebet Bathory''' 1560-1614 was a Hungarian countess and wife of General Francis Nadasdy. She was accused of being a mass murderer and convicted and sentence to life imprisonment by a court appointed by King Matthias of Hungary. However, her guilt is disputed. Lazlo Nagy, a Hungarian historian, claims that she was innocent of the charges made against her and framed because of money she owed the King of Hungary and because of her Protestantism in primarily Catholic Hungary.
