Countess Elizabeth Bathory
Countess Bathory was one of the most prolific murderers in history, with estimates as high as over 600 victims. She believed the blood of virgins gave her youth.
(There are theories that she may have been iron deficient, so it would make sense that drinking blood might actually make her feel and look better in a real way.)
Her torturous and murderous ways only came to an end when she decided she needed nobler blood than the peasants she had always used, but well-bred girls were quickly noticed as missing, and she was apprehended.
Her punishment was that she was walled into a tower until her death.
