My family had married amongst themselves for years, producing drunkards, satyrs, sadists, lesbians, and all manner of interesting folk. As a young child of about five, I suffered violent seizures for a short time. I grew up at Ecsed Castle as somewhat of a tomboy, a very active and fit child, and was remarked upon as being extremely beautiful. At the age of eleven, I was betrothed to Ferencz Nádasdy--ten years my senior and a successful warrior--and moved to live with his family at the Sárvár Castle. There, I continued my hoydenish ways even under the watchful eye of my soon to be mother-in-law, Ursula Nádasdy. At age thirteen, I gave birth to a child out of wedlock. The father was a peasant, and the child was fostered out.

At fifteen, Ferencz and I finally married in a grand ceremony in Vranov where he took my name, it being more illustrious than his own. We moved into Cséjthe Castle in the Carpathians shortly thereafter, and there I would live out the rest of my days.

Ferencz, being the chief commander in the war with Turkey, was often away, but we managed to have children ~ Anna, Ursula, Katherina and Paul. Ferencz died in Bucharest, murdered by a harlot when he refused to pay her for his services. How very charming.

As you might consider, it was during his many absences that I was forced to entertain myself. Cséjthe was very isolated, and there was little company, so I began to assemble persons of interest and to dabble in the occult. It became amusing to flagellate debtors in the dungeons with an apparatus Ferencz had brought home from the wars with Turkey. There were silver claw-like pincers to be attached to a whip, which would then be used to flail a hapless victim. Ferencz occasionally joined in these diversions when he was home, for he was enough of a sadist that the Turks feared him and called him "Black Beg." Do not think I neglected other, more traditional methods of torture, though. I utilised every item in my dungeons. My chief companions in this were Dorottya Szentes, János Ujváry (called Fickó), Illona Jó and Katarína Benická.

Eventually, as simple torture palled, I escalated into a full-blown murderess. Lovely young women were my preferred prey, most likely because I could punish them for my fading beauty. At some point I noticed that a patch of my skin which had been bloodied during these pastimes seemed noticeably younger and fresher than before. After that, there was no stopping me from my endless pursuit of pleasure and recapturing my beauty. Both peasants and the daughters of local gentry served me - I even had an academy of twenty-five girls who came to be "finished." And they were.

It was then that the fatal mistake of tossing four bodies over the castle wall occured, after which followed some tedious investigation and an unofficial trial, after which I was walled up in a small closet in my own castle, to live out the rest of my life in total isolation, after which I died. It was a life.
