Talk:Elizabeth Báthory
Removed section[change source]
I removed this section. Please help yourself to some books. This is obviously fiction or urban legend. Erzsébet Báthory might have been a murderer, but she might also just be framed by her family to deprive her of her wealth. Anyway this vampiric-horror story is obviosly a fake. --79.184.120.66 (talk) 18:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
No one knows when Elizabeth started to kill young women. It is thought that she started between the years 1585 and 1610. Both her husband and her relatives knew about her crimes, but they did not stop her. She was always improving her torturing methods, and her brutality was becoming greater.
While her husband lived, she kept her activities to a low level, but upon his death any good influence he may have had on her were completely gone. The people living around her castle hated her so much that she only left the castle under an armed escort.
The people whom she murdered, her victims, were at first local female peasants, many lured to Cachtice by offers of well-paid work, but when word spread of the countess's crimes, the supply of new women began to dry up. It was then she began to kill daughters of lower nobles, who were sent to her castle by their parents to learn noble manners. In the early 17th century, parents of high position often wished their daughters to be educated in the social graces. Soon, she was kidnapping girls.
In 1610, she was caught and imprisoned in solitary confinement, where she stayed until her death four years later.

NPOV[change source]
As written this violates NPOV policy. It contains a good deal of material that may have come from uncited sensationalized accounts. The single source is to an unreliable source that also fails verification. Rus793 (talk) 14:38, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
