asexual celibate and bony gay virgin
grown-up lady creature, mostly baffled
There’s a post about Elizabeth Bathory going around on my dash, which makes me recall a different post I saw ages ago, that stated it’s more likely the case her imprisonment was political and her present status as blood countess/most prolific female serial killer has been sensationalized beyond all fact, but I can’t for the life of me find it anywhere.
I found some referenced counter arguments, but they don’t seem to be available online.

Medieval door with cat flap
Chetham’s Library, UK’s oldest public library, was built in 1421 as a college (it was a library from 1653). One of the original doors from that school, seen here, holds a round (and charming) secret: a cat flap! Mice were unwelcome, of course, in a library: they chewed at the books, digesting crucial knowledge, as seen in the other image. A cat was the most effective solution to such book destruction - in combination with a cat flap, to give the predator free access to the premise.
