and figuratively than Stalin the men and women in this video are the people that our history books have forgotten and probably won't appear in one for a long time let's get started number 10 Elizabeth Bathory Bathory was born on August the 7th 1560 in Hungary and was known as a countess born into a powerful family name in Hungary we can probably assume she was well-off in life Bathory was already known as they cut throat lady because of the countless deaths of peasants and servants under her authority which she got away with because of her high status from direct orders made by King Matthias based on his suspicions he sent count geiger ether so to the sess the castle there he discovered the viciousness of Bathory thurzo caught Bathory in the middle of torturing many young girls her inhumane form of torture consisted of jamming needles and pins under her victims fingernails and tying them down to soak them in honey so ants and bees could attack them the count even participated to please his lady but when he died in the early 1600s Bathory's method started getting worse Bathory along with her partner in crime abducted girls and tortured them she would bite chunks of their flesh cook them and force them to eat their flesh Bathory believed that human blood made an individual skin look young and healthy she killed these young girls for their blood and rubbed her body with blood to stop her from aging a benign Queen Mary the first of England we've all heard the urban myth to summon the ghost of a woman called Bloody Mary say her name three times in a mirror in the darkened boom she appears well this myth is based on Queen Mary the first now she does have a small portion dedicated to her in our history books but it mainly focuses on her success as a queen Catholics and

robbed of all their belongings Bashar and his partners forced Armenians and concentration camps Bashar made people carry heavy supplies and forced them to walk miles without any food or water if they
