Watching this reminds me how much I miss when channels like the History channel, actually produced high quality, documentaries about history... Rather than Pawn Stars, Ancient Aliens, Ice Road Truckers, etc.
There's a lot of great historical content on YouTube now, but I really just miss the high production values, I guess. (Though channels like this still do a great job, for what must be an extremely smaller budget.)

Probably the most unbiased recount of her life ever. Thank you.

[jessfawkes]

These videos are better than any documentaries shown on the tele. Well done and Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

It's ridiculous that the 2 men who benefitted from Elizabeth's troubles were also her primary accusers, both having specific reasons to elicit false testimony & "witness statements." Then, a relative of one of the men is the first to write about her "crimes" *100 years* later. I wonder how much more he embellished the story to further improve his status.

The pronunciation of the Hungarian, Slovakian and Czech names in this video is really good. Respect to the narrator :)

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen of one of the most infamous women in European history.

Ya gotta love how these lovely church men used brutal torture to find out if Elizabeth had used torture.

Listening to non-Hungarians saying Hungarian names/words makes me smile. Thank you for trying your best, feels good to hear my language being respected as such.

Correction: The literal meaning of the word 'bátor' is 'brave', it has no connotations referring to the person in question as being good.
The closest to what's described here would be the word 'vitéz' used to refer to soldiers/warriors with the connotation of the person being honored. (but still not directly good)
Apart from the mythological explanation the family was named after the place Batur, present day Nyírbátor.
The h and y were usually added to noble family names to add legitimacy with the archaic writing style and make the family name sound older than it is.
Originally the dynasty founder taken up the name Bátori.

Excellent work! This was fascinating. I've always found Elizabeth Bathory interesting, particularly that there is so much myth and contradicting accounts of her in a time when superstition and chaos ran supreme. Well done!

For those that say: "I would loved to have lived when..."

Absolutely a great documentary and very well done. Most videos on this subject play out the horror to get people to watch and can't be bothered to do any real research on Elizabeth or her upbringing or family background.They go for body count instead of real facts. So thanks for doing a thorough job with the Family history and I applaud the narrator, well done and I look forward to seeing more from the channel, regards Scott.

Assuming that anything of this is actually true. Don't discount the possibility that all of this was made up so relatives could take her property.

[eoindee]

Only recently discovered your channel. It's exceptionally well researched and presented. Thank you for these outstanding videos 👍

[cplmpcocptcl]

I know a lot from this time frame. Yet all of this was new and fascinating to me.
Excellent upload.
Thank you.

I LOVE these documentaries. I work from home and listen to various documentaries while working.

The first mention of vampires in literature actually came hundreds of years before the 18th century. They are mentioned in Jewish mystical pietistic literature from the 13th century. These particular vampires are called "estries" and were said to be female. Many of their characteristics are similar to later vampire tales so it's obvious where the writers of the 18th century got their material from.

Trivia: No one used the term "serial killer" until FBI agent Robert Ressler coined it in the 1970s. But the term is a direct translation of the German term "Serienmörder" coined in 1930 by Berlin investigator Ernst Gennat.

Unbiased and factual, without excusing her.
