Erzebet Bathory: Insane and sick!!!

I think she's the winner of the whole lot.

I can't believe she got away with slaughtering 600+ young woman(more like little girls)

She bathed in their blood because she believe the blood of young will keep her beautiful/youthful in appearance.

She had horrid torture devices made... (what she did to those poor girls... was very horrific...). She also had a torture chamber.

At the end... she was never convicted... all she got was house-arrest

That is pretty insane! I vaguely remember reading something about this, but I don't know the whole story. Anybody willing to share the whole story?

Erzsébet of Transylvania (±1561-1614)* the countess who bit her servants. ((this is probably Elizabeth Bathory... a very horrid woman of murdered 600+ young woman)

Is there something with Transylvania and blood? Vampires anyone?

I think both Diana and Sarah were very unhappy, maybe to the point of being depressed, and in Diana's case maybe maically, but that doesn't make them as being insane... it makes them human... but that's just my opinion.

I think the craziest royal would have been the Countess Elisabeth Bathory of Hungary, do you know about her? for those that dont, she killed virgins and soaked in their blood so that she would look better, she would whip them to death, engage in lesbian orgies and lay some girls on her bed and BITE THEM TO DEATH. Along with other things too gruesome to talk about in this message board

In my opinion is Juana (or Joanne?) I of Spain, she traveled by all Spain with the corpse of her husband, Philip I, refusing to bury and pregnant of Infanta Catalina. Later the poor girl live locked with her in Tordesillas. Also Countess Bathory was very crazy, she kill 600 girls only for look young O.o

I love this thread!!!! I read about the countess in a book about the most evil people in history...A witch of something told her that virgins blood would make her look younger.

I started this thread a long time ago and I am trying to revive it. I am glad that you like it!! :) :) I started this thread due to a book I purchased called Royal Misbehaviour: Crazy Kings and Kooky Queens by David Randall. I think I am going to get the book out again and look for some more interesting insane Royals!!:p :p

Here is a new one that goes back to medieval Siam:

King Intr'araja of Siam died in 1424 without naming his successor. His courtiers decided to choose the new King from the 2 eldest sons by having them duel to the death on the backs of elephants. The two princes charged at each other, knocked each other off their elephant and died instantly. The third son, Baromaraja became King of Siam by default!!

that's so great you're mentioning Emperor Norton!

His story is by no means over though, because, check this:

The new yet-to-be-built Bay Bridge between San Francisco and neighboring Oakland which is across the San Francisco Bay, will be named after Emperor Norton! I'm not kidding: they decided to do this to honor the man who was the first to lobby for a bridge to be built across the SF Bay!

By the way, his grave is located in the city of Colma, about ten miles from his beloved San francisco!

..forgot to mention two things
first, this is perhaps my favorite thread on the forum here.

And second, how about Romanian Vladimir the Empaler? I know he's considered pretty much to be a hero in Romania for fighting off the Turks. But he's of course also renowned as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous Drakula!

That is awesome news Princess Olga!! He has not been forgotten and that is great!

Hmmm, I'll have to agree with other posters, I automatically thought of Juana la Loca, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. But my number one pick would have to be, probably the worst example of the effects of inbreeding lol, Don Carlos of Spain.

Prince Philip has to be the most insane one.....he has this weird sense of humour where everytime he tries to make a joke about a country...he always offense them!

That is funny, but does not qualify him to be mentally insane. Lacking some mentality at times, yes, but insane no.

runaway princess · #79 08-08-2005, 08:39 PM

didn't know that you meant the mentally insane ones...I thought you meant the outragious ones!
