The Resume

    (August 7, 1560-August 21, 1614)
    Married warrior Ferencz Nadasdy at 14
    murdered over 650 virgin girls to bathe in their blood, since she was convinced bathing in the blood of virgins was the key to retaining her youth and beauty
    Born into a powerful family in Hungary
    Married warrior Ferencz Nadasdy
    At 14 murdered over 650 virgin girls to bathe in their blood

Why she might be annoying:

    She murdered hundreds of young women just to bathe in their blood.
    She didn't just kill them, she tortured them by biting their necks, burning them, biting their breasts, mutilating them, and various other ghastly means.
    Her personal assistants were three witches.
    She allegedly practiced Satanism and witchcraft.
    She kept all of her victims documented in a list she kept in her private desk.
    She got away with her hideous crimes for years, until King Matthias of Hungary commissioned the Countess' cousin, Count Thurzo, to raid her castle. He and his men found dozens of mutilated corpses, some girls still alive, a torture chamber in the basement, and other atrocities.
    She was put on trial, yet she was not allowed to testify on her behalf.
    Since she was of noble birth, she could not be put to death.
    Black metal band Cradle of Filth recorded an album in her honor, entitled 'Cruelty and the Beast.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    When she was only nine, her family's castle was raided by bandits and peasants, and her two older sisters were raped and murdered.
    Since she could not be put to death, Count Thurzo ordered her to be sealed into a small room in her castle, with only a small hole for food to be pushed through.
    She died at fifty-four (1614).
    At the time of her death, she was considered to be one of the most beautiful women in all of Europe.
    Although she had children and hardly paid attention to them, she did not include them in her torture practices.
