12 Lines Implying Lady Bathory

Rating: 5.0


She is a noblewoman from a noble family
Owned a land in the kingdom of Hungary
Behind her beauty that no one can deny
Is the caused of the huge public outcry
For this woman is not what you seem she is
But a monster more terrifying than a beast
For flesh and blood of a virgin she craves
650 lives or more she puts to their grave
Believing for possessing eternal youth
Only for the remedy of her fear of sooth
Her infamy is now known to every country
She is the infamous Erszebet Bathory

Oh, had never heard of her. Thanks. Obviously she had a mental illness. Obssessive compulsive behaviour laced with superstitious belief. Some would say she was possessed but science says its an imbalance of serotonin and dopamine excerbated by religious fanatism. Deadly stuff

but some also says she's innocent which is very hardly to believe due to strong evidence. several authors believed that she was a victim of conspiracy meaning possibly because of her wealth and her deceased husband's land in Hungary which is escalated to her properties as well. thanks for reading my work.
