So far I am extremely convinced that Elizabeth Bathory did nothing wrong BUT the author is clearly equivocating in favor of her innocence. It is very strongly swayed in Bathory’s favor - if this is how the history truly reads, then maybe a bit more introspection or reflection on how the folklore has gotten it so wrong?

There’s a LOT of 17th century Hungarian politics going on and I’m not going to lie I’m more than a little confused 😭

starting to get into the period of accusations - fascinating to me how the serial killing accusations have become so pervasive when (according to Puhak) they are unfounded

Lots of Hungarian history!
