White Canary

Elizabeth Bàthory Bathory was accused of a haunting litany of crimes against both female servants & minor noblewomen who'd come to her for training & education. Most of her alleged assaults & murders took place after she was widowed in 1604. Some of Bathory's victims were covered with honey & left outside for insects to devour. During colder parts of the year young women might be stripped naked & forced into deadly ice baths. Bathory sometimes tortured girls by driving needles into their fingers, cutting their noses or lips or whipping them with stinging nettles. She would bite shoulders & breasts, as well as burning the flesh, including the genitals, of some victims. 🪦' For you: @dancewiththedevil
