Throughout the passage of time, women have played imminent roles in the foundation of history. While some of these ladies were ethereal and supremely elegant, others were brash and outright bizarre. The strange habits of men in history are flagrant as there was a higher number of male rulers, however, some of the women also possessed habits that were completely weird. Just as powerful women had colossal leadership skills, they were capable of being just as berserk as the historical men. Here is a list of five such ladies and their weird practices:
Elizabeth Bathory
Elizabeth Bathory was a Hungarian noblewoman from the noble family of Bathory. She was allegedly a serial killer. The horrific tales of her deranged crimes were verified by many. Bathory and four collaborators had inhumanly tortured and killed hundreds of young women between 1585 and 1609. Though the exact number of her victims haven’t been asserted, it is estimated to be around 650. The tales of her barbarous crimes are verified by the testimony of more than 300 witnesses and survivors, and also by the presence of grotesquely mutilated, dead and imprisoned girls. She was known to have vampire-like tendencies because of her ludicrous practice of bathing in the blood of youthful girls to retain her youth. Even though she didn’t face trial because of her influential family, she was held in solitary confinement for four years until her death in 1614.
