I'm gonna sound like a crackhead for thinking this, but given Heinrich Himmler's weird obsession with the occult, what are the chances he had the SS steal Bathory's corpse?
Absolutely! I'm actually a little surprised from the fact I see before me another madlad as they are my favourite so it just makes my day a little better when he uploads such episodes
Bathory is actually the villain in a book called "Much Fall of Blood". Ironically, one of the heroes in that book is basically Dracula, or at least you can see where the myth would come from in-universe.
since dank wont do Mayhem/Burzum this will be the closest mention to black metal in a mad lads vid unless he changes his mind or runs out of mad lads which may take a while
I feel like "Covering girls in honey and leaving them to be eaten by insects" was glossed over. That's got to be one of the most awful ways to die. It would take weeks of agony, and eventually you'd die of sepsis.
She’s not the only one to do such a thing, the punishment was commonly referred to as the Tub in the British Isles. It is uncomfortable to imagine the countless cumulative hours of suffering hundreds of people likely suffered in this manner.
@@blacklorgar Yes, Bathory has been used as the template for female vampires much in the same vein that Vlad influenced the world as Dracula. I have fond memories of when Diablo 2 made a character based on her and I thought, “hey I know this story.”
Glad to see that doing horrific things to little girls, has always been the favorite past time of the ruling class. As well as other members of the ruling class turning a blind eye, so long as their power isn’t threatened
"Got away with so much over so many years... Only got punished as an excuse for a power grab..." Sad to think things really haven't changed a whole lot.
It's the basis of all community and society. For they can be no society without hierarchy of power. The only different is what each society see as power. You can build a society where kindness is power and the most kind people of that society will hold and enjoy the privilege of power and will abuse it. Be it birth, wealth, virtue, knowledge, etc. If power can derived from it then it will all be the same. Even if the society establish that those who do not want power is good, then he who doesn't want power will hold the power and abuse it. It is simply natural.
I disagree that women in power wouldn't abuse it but it's ironic that were using this case to prove that bc: 'But Bathory’s case may not have been that cut and dry; in fact, some Hungarian scholars say it may have been motivated more by others’ power and greed than her supposed evil. It turns out that King Matthias II owed Bathory’s late husband, and then her, a sizable debt. Matthias was not inclined to pay that debt, which historians say may have fueled his move to incriminate the countess and deny her the opportunity to defend herself in court. Likewise, some historians say that witnesses probably provided the incriminating - yet contradictory - testimony under duress and that the king called for the death penalty before Bathory’s family could intervene on her behalf. This too may have been politically motivated, as the death penalty meant that the king could seize her land. Perhaps, historians say, the true story of Elizabeth Bathory looks more like this: The countess owned strategically important land that increased her family’s already vast wealth. As an intelligent, powerful woman who ruled without a man at her side, and as a member of a family whose wealth intimidated the king, his court went on a mission to discredit and ruin her. The best case scenario is that Bathory abused her servants but came nowhere near the level of violence alleged at her trial. Worst case? She was a bloodsucking demon sent from hell to murder virgins. Both make a for a good story - even if only one of them is actually true.'
She was so crazy she ended up being a major antagonist in Castlevania Bloodlines for Sega Genesis in 1994. I'd love to hear the story of Gilles de Rais just to complement this.

Going all in on vampires. But how's about a werewolf? The Beast of Gévaudan, AKA the man-eating animal that terrorized southern France and inspired half of what we see in modern werewolf fantasy.
Recent research revealed that this beast was most likely a hybrid monstrosity resulting from crossbreeding exotic predators and specifically bred to be sicced on peasants to terrorize them. Clues include: - peasants saw wolves several times a week and knew how to deal with them, so something they called a "beast" definitely wasn't a wolf; - several recorded testimonies mention the Beast running through flocks of sheeps to kill the herder, a totally inconceivable behaviour for a wild predator; - more recorded testimonies mention the Beast shrugging off direct gunfire, it most likely had some form of body armor; - it also came back in perfect condition several days after suffering serious injuries, so it was most likely patched up by a human; - all these events happened after nobles lost most of their priviledges to use the peasants as their playthings with impunity and were still bitter about it; - the Beast was finally killed by a hunter to which it opposed no resistance, as if it knew and trusted the man.
Who just thinks to themselves "I should sew a person to a horse today"? Were they trying to genetically engineer a centaur waifu with medieval level technology, and did they succeed?

The ironic part is that new developments in the studying of aging, it does seem that due to the regulatory RNA released by stem cells, linking bloodstreams with a younger individual does seem to heal age-related problems while aging the younger individual to a net middle ground between the two individuals. Granted these are mice tests but it's not like aging is a rat exclusive disease rofl
It's only temporary though, as the body of the older person, still doesn't retain youth, while the younger body will regain it's youthful properties after a while again. If you really wanted to have it be continuous you'd have to do it regularly, and to make sure that it's a healthy procedure for the one person you're deaging, you'd have to rely on clones, and if you'd want to do that, then just introducing fetal stemcells from a cloned embryo, would do the trick even better. You could deage someone for much longer, and reinvigorate them a lot more.
@@livedandletdie That's the interesting part. The original hypothesis with aging was that the shortening of telomeres eventually leads to the degradation of important genetic material but new studies indicate that the aging issue comes on an epigenetic rather than a genetic level. This means that it is in fact possible to de-age someone with use of specific chemistry. I mean ultimately the linked bloodstreams method does work but it's incredibly crude and also not super ethically sound.... although if you needed me to say that you might in fact be a sociopath rofl
YES!!! I've always wanted Dankula to do a Mad Lads on Elizabeth Bathory. I was always really interested in her story but never got the time to learn about it. Also, your last statement and shitgrin is legendary.
My life has been a complete and total misery ever since Bigfoot stole my precious girlfriend in the middle of the night.😒 He even took all her clothes and the T.V.
20th request for Mad Lads: ‘Klondike’ Joe Boyle Goldminer, business magnate, boxing promoter, hockey manager, soldier, spy, diplomat, lover of the Romanian queen.
Pedants Corner: Having two Hungarian mates both called Ferenc, I have to say it's actually pronounced _Ferentz_ Now that my unabated twattery is out of the way - great stuff yet again! And from the suggestions in the comments it looks like Mad Lads isn't going to run out of subject matter any time soon!
Yeah, but then again the English version of Ferenc is Frank, and since Gaelic names with "C" are always pronounced as a "k" I personally allow it. On the other hand, Fickó should be pronounced "Fitz-ko" , otherwise it just sounds wrong.
I was actually surprised how close to perfect you pronounced Bathory. Almost got convinced that you've done your research in Hungarian pronunciation. That is until I heard FERENK fifty times.
Do you know what other medieval society didn't fck around Edinburgh how Edinburgh survived the plague was just being extremely harsh in dealing with it as soon as someone showed symptoms the sick person and everyone they lived with would be bricked in their house so they couldn't leave
In 1956 during the communist uprising, the crowd dragged out secret agents from their HQ, hung then in the streets, sliced open their bellies and stuffed them with money. During the Migrant crisis after the Hungarians erected the border fence, around 2015-2016, one Hungarian politician publicly asked that pig heads on spikes should be placed along the border to scare off the Muslims. (Kind of disappointed they didn't do it). I think some tendencies may have remained to this day...

Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu was the character that was actually based on Elizabeth Bathory. Carmilla predates Dracula, and served as inspiration for Bram Stoker while he was writing the novel. Dracula was not directly based on Elizabeth Bathory, however.

I was told that I may have Aspergers so that might be why I have these obsessions...
This reminds me of the story of Gilles De Rais. He Committed horrific crimes and was only tried when the aristocracy wanted his land. He only ever faced justice, not for his crimes against literal humanity. But because he owned land and power others wanted, lol the only thing that gets a rich person killed are other rich people
Greetings, Slovakia. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't she have a few castles in your country?! [scratching chin] Hmmmmm....... In your shoes, I would get a permit. Then I would make a few phone calls. Then I would set my calendar: Oct. 31st, 2022. The Feast of All Hallows. Time to find out if any of Elizabeth's victims are still there 👻👻👻☠️☠️☠️
Well he's not wrong Queen Elizabeth I was notoriously evil and never bathed King Henry VIII was incredibly evil since he killed 2 of his wives divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived King William IV well us Scots don't like talking about him very much then there's Fred West's wife whatever her name was
I have a couple lines to add to the speculation on her innocence. Dozens of nobleborn girls going missing around her gynaesium wouldn't go unoticed. And no matter how powerful she might have been, she had enemies, who could use that against her. In a time were record keeping was poor to nonexistent, it would be easy to just make shit up. And the common punishment for withcraft is burning at the stake, though Bathory was a protestant. Taking the Salem witch trials into account, it seems protestants and catholics both loved to roast some hoes from time to time. However, condemning an innocent to death was a huge deal for inquisitors. It basically condemned their souls to damnation with no chance for redemption. So Bathory, despite aledgedly killing between 80 and 650 people, got to live off the rest of her life, nearly 4 years, under house arrest. Then again, it could be because she was of noble birth. And another piece to the puzzle is that she was buried in hallowed ground. Again, she's a protestant, so the rules are kinda different. But taking catholic tradition to finish this conjecture, Herectics were not allowed to be buried under halowed ground. She was buried at the cemetery of the church of Csejte, which villagers didn't like, so her body was eventually moved to the Bathory crypt in her birth town.

I could totally believe she covered herself in or drank blood purely for insane evil person reasons. It just sounds like something a serial killer would do beyond any sort of vampiric tendencies.
I mean, her reasoning of "beautification" has been rearing it's head these days with a bit more bullshit psudo-science.
Given enough time I'm sure it might occur to her even if it didn't actually happen.
Going all in on vampires. But how's about a werewolf? The Beast of Gévaudan, AKA the man-eating animal that terrorized southern France and inspired half of what we see in modern werewolf fantasy.
Recent research revealed that this beast was most likely a hybrid monstrosity resulting from crossbreeding exotic predators and specifically bred to be sicced on peasants to terrorize them. Clues include:
- peasants saw wolves several times a week and knew how to deal with them, so something they called a "beast" definitely wasn't a wolf;
- several recorded testimonies mention the Beast running through flocks of sheeps to kill the herder, a totally inconceivable behaviour for a wild predator;
- more recorded testimonies mention the Beast shrugging off direct gunfire, it most likely had some form of body armor;
- it also came back in perfect condition several days after suffering serious injuries, so it was most likely patched up by a human;
- all these events happened after nobles lost most of their priviledges to use the peasants as their playthings with impunity and were still bitter about it;
- the Beast was finally killed by a hunter to which it opposed no resistance, as if it knew and trusted the man.
This was all just a standard playthrough of crusader kings II.

Danks halloween inspired madlads made me play ck2 and ck3 again. I wonder why...
Who just thinks to themselves "I should sew a person to a horse today"? Were they trying to genetically engineer a centaur waifu with medieval level technology, and did they succeed? How did they keep both the person and the horse still enough to do any sewing? Why did they pick that particular horse to sew a gypsy to, did the horse commit a crime also? I have many questions about this...
I too wonder these things.
You wouldn’t get it.
@@MandenTV That username, that comment. My fucking sides.
I hope they were sewing the man to the saddle. Why would you hurt the poor animal?
they probably gave both of them mass amounts of laudanum which is basically alcohol and opium, it would render most living things still in high enough quantities

makes more sense then her killing 600 people

The ironic part is that new developments in the studying of aging, it does seem that due to the regulatory RNA released by stem cells, linking bloodstreams with a younger individual does seem to heal age-related problems while aging the younger individual to a net middle ground between the two individuals. Granted these are mice tests but it's not like aging is a rat exclusive disease rofl
It's only temporary though, as the body of the older person, still doesn't retain youth, while the younger body will regain it's youthful properties after a while again.
If you really wanted to have it be continuous you'd have to do it regularly, and to make sure that it's a healthy procedure for the one person you're deaging, you'd have to rely on clones, and if you'd want to do that, then just introducing fetal stemcells from a cloned embryo, would do the trick even better. You could deage someone for much longer, and reinvigorate them a lot more.
@@livedandletdie That's the interesting part. The original hypothesis with aging was that the shortening of telomeres eventually leads to the degradation of important genetic material but new studies indicate that the aging issue comes on an epigenetic rather than a genetic level. This means that it is in fact possible to de-age someone with use of specific chemistry. I mean ultimately the linked bloodstreams method does work but it's incredibly crude and also not super ethically sound.... although if you needed me to say that you might in fact be a sociopath rofl
Thanks for being you. I feel like crap today, I'm binging on your videos to make myself feel better. Strange, but it helps this grandma, so yeah.

Pedants Corner: Having two Hungarian mates both called Ferenc, I have to say it's actually pronounced _Ferentz_
Now that my unabated twattery is out of the way - great stuff yet again! And from the suggestions in the comments it looks like Mad Lads isn't going to run out of subject matter any time soon!
Yeah, but then again the English version of Ferenc is Frank, and since Gaelic names with "C" are always pronounced as a "k" I personally allow it. On the other hand, Fickó should be pronounced "Fitz-ko" , otherwise it just sounds wrong.
I was actually surprised how close to perfect you pronounced Bathory. Almost got convinced that you've done your research in Hungarian pronunciation. That is until I heard FERENK fifty times.
How should it be said please?
@@ellebean759 Ferentz (?)
Franciscus, Francis, Franz

The medieval Hungarians did NOT fck around when it came to corporal punishment and public execution. It's honestly terrifying.
Do you know what other medieval society didn't fck around Edinburgh how Edinburgh survived the plague was just being extremely harsh in dealing with it as soon as someone showed symptoms the sick person and everyone they lived with would be bricked in their house so they couldn't leave
In 1956 during the communist uprising, the crowd dragged out secret agents from their HQ, hung then in the streets, sliced open their bellies and stuffed them with money.
During the Migrant crisis after the Hungarians erected the border fence, around 2015-2016, one Hungarian politician publicly asked that pig heads on spikes should be placed along the border to scare off the Muslims. (Kind of disappointed they didn't do it).
I think some tendencies may have remained to this day...

Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu was the character that was actually based on Elizabeth Bathory. Carmilla predates Dracula, and served as inspiration for Bram Stoker while he was writing the novel.
Dracula was not directly based on Elizabeth Bathory, however.

This reminds me of the story of Gilles De Rais. He Committed horrific crimes and was only tried when the aristocracy wanted his land. He only ever faced justice, not for his crimes against literal humanity. But because he owned land and power others wanted, lol the only thing that gets a rich person killed are other rich people
Imagine how mortified people will be in century’s to find out the human trafficking atrocities being committed while this is written.

@@theemofemboycatgirlw3214 oh
I have a couple lines to add to the speculation on her innocence.
Dozens of nobleborn girls going missing around her gynaesium wouldn't go unoticed. And no matter how powerful she might have been, she had enemies, who could use that against her. In a time were record keeping was poor to nonexistent, it would be easy to just make shit up.
And the common punishment for withcraft is burning at the stake, though Bathory was a protestant. Taking the Salem witch trials into account, it seems protestants and catholics both loved to roast some hoes from time to time. However, condemning an innocent to death was a huge deal for inquisitors. It basically condemned their souls to damnation with no chance for redemption. So Bathory, despite aledgedly killing between 80 and 650 people, got to live off the rest of her life, nearly 4 years, under house arrest. Then again, it could be because she was of noble birth.
And another piece to the puzzle is that she was buried in hallowed ground. Again, she's a protestant, so the rules are kinda different. But taking catholic tradition to finish this conjecture, Herectics were not allowed to be buried under halowed ground. She was buried at the cemetery of the church of Csejte, which villagers didn't like, so her body was eventually moved to the Bathory crypt in her birth town.
She started a killer Swedish black metal band.
