Notre sauce piquante Chipotle + Orange a été inspirée par la célèbre tueuse en série Elizabeth Báthory

La comtesse Elizabeth Báthory était une noble hongroise, considérée comme la tueuse en série la plus prolifique par les records Guiness.

 

Ses activités assoiffées de sang ont conduit  à l’a cité comme l’une des premiers vampires dans l’histoire et sont devenus une partie du folklore local. Certains disent même qu’elle a inspiré Dracula de Stoker.

Our Chipotle + Orange hot sauce was inspired by notorious serial killer Elizabeth Báthory

Countess Elizabeth Báthory was a 17th-century Hungarian noblewoman, deemed the most prolific female serial killer by Guinness World Records.

 

Her bloodthirsty activities have led many to cite her as one of the first vampires in history and have become part of local folklore. Some even say she inspired the titular character in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

La comtesse, avec l’aide de quatre complices, est accusée d’avoir torturé et tué des centaines de jeunes femmes entre 1590 et 1610.

On dit que sa cruauté a commencé à un jeune âge en raison des tendances sadique de sa famille : les enseignements de son oncle sur le satanisme et la sorcellerie et ceux de sa tante sur le sadomasochisme.  De plus, Elizabeth a été témoin de punitions et d’exécutions barbares de la part de sa famille.

Une autre théorie est qu’en raison de ses crises d’épilepsie étant un enfant, qui était peut-être causé par la consanguinité de ses parents. Un traitement commun pour l’épilepsie était de frotter le sang de personnes en santé sur les lèvres. On pense qu’une partie des meurtres était un effort pour guérir sa maladie.

The countess, with the help of four accomplices, was accused of torturing and killing hundreds of young women between 1590 and 1610.
It has been speculated that her cruelty started at a young age due to her family’s sadistic tendencies, including: her uncle’s teachings in Satanism and Witchcraft and her aunt’s penchant for sadomasochism. Additionally, Elizabeth was privy to witnessing brutal punishments and executions at the hands of her family.

Another theory is that due to her epileptic seizures as a child, possibly caused from the inbreeding of her parents, a common treatment for epilepsy was rubbing the blood of non-sufferers on her lips. It is thought that part of the killings were an effort to cure her illness.

À l’âge de 10 ans, elle a été engagée à Feren Nadasdy comme un arrangement politique, mais en raison de son statut social plus élevé, elle a refusé de changer son nom de famille, et il a pris le nom Báthory. Le couple s’est marié quand elle avait 15 ans, et il avait 19 ans, en 1575.

Le cadeau de mariage de Nadasdy à Báthory n’était pas seulement de vivre dans le château de Csejte, mais il aurait également fait construire une chambre de torture selon ses spécifications.

On dit que les premières victimes de la comtesse étaient des servantes, âgées de 10 à 14 ans, et des filles de la petite noblesse qui ont été envoyées au gynécée de Báthory pour apprendre l’étiquette. Là-bas, la comtesse administrait plusieurs sévices, des brûlures, des mutilations de mains, mordant la chair des visages, des bras et d’autres parties du corps, gelant et les laissant mourir de faim. La torture de Báthory consistait à coincer des épingles et des aiguilles sous les ongles de ses servantes, à les attacher, à les enduire de miel et à les laisser être attaquées par des abeilles et des fourmis. Des témoignages ont également décrit qu’elle se baignait dans le sang de vierges pour conserver sa jeunesse (cependant, cela a été enregistré après sa mort, donc ne peut être vérifié). Selon les archives de la ville de Budapest, elle a également brûlé des femmes avec des pinces chaudes pour les plonger dans l’eau glacée.

At the age of 10 she was engaged to Feren Nadasdy as a political arrangement, though because of her higher social status, she refused to change her last name, and he assumed the name Báthory. The couple married in 1575, when she was 15, and he was 19.

Nadasdy’s wedding gift to Báthory was not only his household of Castle of Csejte, but  also a torture chamber built to her specifications.


It is said that the Countess’s initial victims were servant girls, between the ages of 10-14, and daughters of the lesser gentry who were sent to Báthory’s gynaeceum to learn courtly etiquette. There, she would conduct severe beatings, burnings, mutilation of hands, biting the flesh from faces, arms and other body parts, and froze and starved the girls to death. Báthory’s torture included jamming pins and needles under the fingernails of her servant girls, and tying them down, smearing them with honey, and leaving them to be attacked by bees and ants. Testimonies also described her bathing in the blood of virgins to retain their youth (however, this was recorded after her death, so it cannot be verified). According to the Budapest City Archives, she also burned women with hot tongs and then forced them into freezing water.

Bien que le comte ait participé aux cruautés de sa femme, il a peut-être aussi retenu ses pulsions meutrière de la comtesse ; quand il est mort en 1604, elle est devenue encore plus dépravée, ciblant les filles des nobles locaux.

Entre 1602 et 1604, des rumeurs d’atrocités de Báthory commencèrent à se répandre dans tout le royaume. Enfin, en 1610, le roi Matthias II chargea Gyorgy Thurzó d’enquêter. Des femmes emprisonnées, mutilées et mortes ont été découvertes dans le château au moment de son arrestation.

En janvier 1611, Báthory et ses complices furent mises à l’essai. La série de meurtres sadiques de Báthory ont été confirmés par le témoignage de plus de 300 témoins oculaires, ainsi que par les survivants qui ont présenté des preuves matérielles. Une servante a rapporté que Jakab Szilvássy, le fonctionnaire de la cour de la comtesse, a confirmé que le nombre total de décès a grimpé à 650, bien que le livre dans lequel cela avait été enregistré n’ait jamais été retrouvé, et que Szilvássy ne l’ait pas inclus dans son témoignage. En fin de compte, ils ont été jugés pour 80 chefs d’accusation de meurtre.

Tous furent condamnés, mais seul Báthory échappa à l’exécution en raison de son statut. Au lieu de cela, elle fut confinée au château jusqu’à sa mort en 1614.

Bien que cette histoire soit certainement horrible, il convient de noter que les historiens modernes croient que ces rumeurs auraient été propagées par Gyorgy Thurzó dans une tentative d’avancement politique, (l’homme qui l’a arrêtée!). Une ventilation de cette théorie peut être consultée ici : https://www.rejectedprincesses.com/princesses/elisabeth-bathory

Although the count participated in his wife’s cruelties, he may have also restrained her impulses; when he died in 1604, she became even more depraved, targeting the daughters of local nobles.
Between 1602 and 1604, rumours of Báthory’s atrocities began to spread throughout the kingdom. Finally, in 1610, King Matthias II assigned Gyorgy Thurzó to investigate. Imprisoned, mutilated, and dead women were discovered in the castle at the time of her arrest.

In January 1611, Báthory and her cohorts were put on trial. Stories of Báthory’s sadistic murder spree were verified by the testimony of over 300 eye witnesses, as well as survivors who bore physical evidence. It was reported by a servant girl that Jakab Szilvássy, the Countess’s court official, confirmed the total deaths climbed to 650, though the book in which this was recorded was never recovered, nor did Szilvássy include it in his testimony. In the end, they were tried for 80 counts of murder.
All were convicted, but only Báthory escaped execution due to her status. Instead, she was confined to the castle until her death in 1614.


Though this story is certainly horrific, it should be noted that recent historians believe that her prosecution was based upon rumours spread by Gyorgy Thurzó in a bid for political advancement , (the man who arrested her!).
