1614

Notable historical figure, Elizabeth Bathory, who was an Hungarian countess, gained her place in the record books due to her unsavory penchant for taking long relaxing baths using the blood of virgins. Bathory's blood bathing was eventually discovered and she was apprehended and put on trial. She was sentenced to serve out the remainder of her days in captivity, sealed up behind a brick wall with only a small opening from which food could be passed to her. Elizabeth Bathory died on August 21st, 1614 at the age of 54.
