In the twentieth episode of 5 Minute Murder, we delve into the chilling legend of Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian noblewoman infamously dubbed the "Blood Countess." In just five minutes, we explore the dark tales surrounding her life, including accusations of torturing and murdering hundreds of young women in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Though some details remain shrouded in myth, her trial and imprisonment shocked Europe and cemented her place in history as one of the most notorious figures of all time. Join us as we separate fact from fiction in the sinister story of Elizabeth Bathory.
