I'm honestly suprised that, even with as old as this thread appears to be, there have only been two posts regarding the Countess Bathory. If there
can truly be said to have been a vampire, or human exhibiting vampiric tendencies, it was undisputably the Countess. Why use sheer conjecture to
determine the origin or nature of the vampire when one can more easily trace history? In my opinion, Bathory was most likely a vampire, albeit a
sloppy one, and any fact regarding the matter must be drawn from her lifetime back; by tracing when she turned, possible candidates for her change,
etc, it may be possible to determine the origin of the vampire by "geneology".
