When you say the name 'Elizabeth Bathory', a few things probably spring to mind. After all, she's widely known as the Blood Countess, so you probably imagine a woman in a bath of blood.

But did she really do this? Is it fair to call her one of history's worst serial killers? Or are the legends the over-exaggerations of a family hungry to get their hands on the wealth of a powerful woman?

Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
