Historians searched through hundreds of pages of confessions from "eyewitnesses" only to find that all of them were done under torture. It has to be mentioned that Thurzo palatine of Hungary and the husbands of her daughters (among them, one member of the Zrinyi family) wanted her lands and riches for her lands were the greatest after the kings', and all ruled by a woman, which was not common around that time. Besides, no bodies have been found (where could she put 600 bodies??) and the people of the villages around Csejte (Cahtice) said the Countess were very good to them, knowing the herbs and curing many of their illnesses.Dirgesingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012771828959348766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-42110829436316827262009-11-10T15:37:08.063-05:002009-11-10T15:37:08.063-05:00Katherine- The blood countess (fiction) is by Andr...Katherine- The blood countess (fiction) is by Andrei Codrescu, and you can find it on Amazon.com for pretty cheap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-7534470633654683742009-11-10T15:34:51.691-05:002009-11-10T15:34:51.691-05:00The book "Dracula was a woman" by Raymon...The book "Dracula was a woman" by Raymond T.

I bought it after hearing a little about her and finding her story weird and enthralling. After reading your post my interest is piqued again, and I think I'll try to get to it soon.

Who cares about a few hundred peasant girls, but if you are rich and have a title than justice will be served.
