A Bath Oliver is a hard dry cracker made from flour,butter,yeast and milk. It was invented around 1750 by Dr. William Oliver of Bath,Somerset and given it's name from the inventors.
Countess Elizabeth Bathory (August 7,1560-August 21,1614) was of Hungarian nobility. Also known as the "Blood Countess" she has been labeled the most prolific female serial killer in history,though her guilt is debated.
After her husbands death she and four of her servants were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls,one source attributing over 650 victims to them,though the number they were convicted for was 80.
Later writings have led to accounts of the Countess bathing in the blood of virgins to retain her youth and also to comparisons with Vlad III the Impaler on whom the fictional Count Dracula is partly based.
Kind of takes vanity to a new level,and gives a whole new meaning the the phrase Blood Bath! Blood Bath incidentally is also the name of a 1966 horror film and a Swedish death metal band.
