“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
I have no idea whatsoever if my musings here about “The Blood Countess” are correct or not but I’ve always had an uneasy feeling that she was NOT quite what history has told us. Like Vlad. It irks me, somewhat. (Which is my polite way of saying something very unladylike!) P.S. Her surname is pronounced […]
Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt. I’m sooooo loving this gift. :o) Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU! Ferenc Nádasdy de Nádasd et Fogarasföld and his wife, Ecsedi Báthory Erzsébet Anyone???? A SAVAGE MAGNIFICENCE: OTTOMANIZING FASHION AND THE POLITICS OF DISPLAY IN EARLY MODERN EAST-CENTRAL EUROPE
It was (apparently) in Vienna that Elizabeth Bathory – The Blood Countess – started her murderous career. FALCO…Lindsey Davis Doch ihn liebten alle Frauen LOL
In an earlier post: COUNT FERENC NÁDASDY DE NÁDASD ET FOGARASFÖLD I wrote – ‘The Nádasdy arms are very interesting. They feature the Goose. I have a reference (which I CAN’T find at the mo’) which links the symbol of the Goose with the Tartarian Empire.’ Aha. I’ve re-found the connection with the white goose! […]

Martin Cole is an award-winning, famous, respected crime fiction writer. I’ve nothing against her as a person – my frustration/anger/disappointment is with The System. And the way The System controls the narrative. People actually believe this BS. Ooooh. At least I didn’t cuss out loud! Feeling much better after that little ranty moment :o)
I’ve mentioned Elisabeth before. History has put her on a par with Vlad the Impaler/Dracula. There are even ‘serious’ TV documentaries about her being the Worst Female Serial Killer in all of History. Her story has fascinated me for as many years as Vlad’s has. Now I understand why. Through Shakespeare, Ivan the Terrible, Oprichnina, […]
Otherwise known as THE BLOOD COUNTESS. For months now I have been trying to write an article about Erzsébet Báthory (Elizabeth Bathory) The title is The Eternal Damnation of Elizabeth Bathory But every time I pick up the research I find something strange. The latest is Ecsed. The place where she grew up. (Many Swear […]
