Ilse Koch


Known as the Witch of Buchenwald, Ilse Koch is considered one of the worst villains of the Holocaust. A wife of the commandant of the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald, Karl-Otto Koch, Ilse Koch was a nymphomaniac rapist and sadist who tortured prisoners in the concentration camp. She became known for her extremely evil and sadistic behavior. She enjoyed beating the prisoners, forcing them to perform sexual activities, and even skinning those who had distinctive tattoos. She would then use the tattooed skin to cover her books in it.

In 1947 a sensational Allied military tribunal held at the former Dachau concentration camp tried her and 30 others connected with Buchenwald. She was charged with several crimes, including abusing prisoners and ordering those with “interesting” tattoos to be killed and their skin turned into artifacts such as lampshades, book covers, gloves, and so on. Despite the testimony of former prisoners who were forced to make such grisly objects, prosecutors could not conclusively prove her involvement in committing such crimes. However, she was convicted of being a part of the “common design” to abuse prisoners and was sentenced to life in prison. At the Landsberg Prison in October 1947, she gave birth to a son, Uwe, likely fathered by a fellow prisoner, Fritz Schäffer.

Koch’s sentence was reduced by U.S. military authorities to time already served, because of Cold War politics and the growing discontent among some West Germans over ongoing harsh sentences handed out to Nazi war criminals, and she was released from prison on October 17, 1949, despite a storm of controversy in the United States. The West German government arrested her the same day and charged her with having abused German citizens during her time at Buchenwald. She was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. In 1967 she hanged herself with bedsheets in her cell at the women’s prison in Aichach, Germany.

Elizabeth Bathory


Aptly nicknamed the Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory was a Hungarian noblewoman, and she was probably the most prolific female serial killer of all time. At the end of the 16th century and beginning of the 17th century, Bathory tortured and killed up to 650 girls and young women at her castle in Cachtice, modern Slovakia. The macabre nickname came from her apparent tendency to bathe in the blood of her victims as she believed it would help her maintain her youthful-looking skin.

Gertrude Baniszewski

Also known as the Torture Mother, Gertrude Baniszewski was an Indiana divorcee who oversaw and facilitated a prolonged torture, mutilation, and eventual murder of a teenage girl, Sylvia Likens. It was later discovered that the death and majority of the torture was actually carried out under Baniszewski’s instruction by her teenage children and other kids from the neighborhood. When the woman was convicted of first degree murder in 1965, the case was called, “the single worst crime perpetuated against an individual in Indiana’s history.”

Rosemary West ( Really hate this bunch )

Rosemary West is notorious in Britain for her crimes. She, along with her husband Fred, sexually assaulted, murdered and dismembered a number of young women and buried them in their cellar. One of these women was their daughter, Heather. Since being charged, she has maintained her innocence; however, the jury saw it differently. In 1995, she was convicted of the torturing and murdering of 10 women and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

Karla Homolka

Karla Homolka is Canada’s most notorious female serial killer. She helped her husband, Paul Bernardo, rape and murder at least three women, one of them being her younger sister. She received a fairly light sentence for her crimes thanks to the plea deal that she struck with the prosecution. In exchange for her testimony against Bernardo, she received a reduced prison sentence of just 12 years.

The prosecution didn’t feel badly about this deal at first. Homolka claimed that Bernardo had been abusing her and that she had been forced to participate in the murders; however, video evidence later surfaced, proving that she wasn’t a victim but an active participant in all of the murders. There was nothing that could be done though and her deal with the prosecutors has become known as the “Deal with the Devil” as a result.

In July 1990, 21-year-old Karla Homolka - with the help of her boyfriend, 26-year-old Paul Bernardo - drugged her younger sister, Tammy. Homolka served her 15-year-old sister a meal of spaghetti laced with Valium, which she’d stolen from the veterinarian’s office where she worked as a vet tech. Bernardo then briefly violated the teen but stopped when she quickly regained consciousness.
Several months later, on December 23, 1990, the couple again drugged Tammy - who was unaware of the prior assault - using eggnog spiked with Halcion. Reportedly, both Bernardo and Homolka sexually assaulted Tammy while she was under its effects. The couple hatched their plan months earlier when Bernardo became obsessed with his girlfriend's little sister.
Homolka was not a virgin when she started dating Bernardo and this allegedly upset him. Homolka agreed to provide her boyfriend with her younger sister’s virginity in an effort to make up for her own lack of chastity. What a couple.

Myra Hindley

Myra Hindley is considered the most evil woman in British history. Along with her partner Ian Brady, she carried out the Moors murders in the 1960s. Together, they kidnapped, sexually tortured and murdered five children and teenagers.

When they were caught, Hindley showed absolutely no remorse for her crimes and pleaded not guilty. For 20 years, she maintained her innocence; however, in 1987, she finally admitted that she had been involved in all five murders. In 2002, she died in prison.

Aileen Wuornos

Aileen Wuornos was a highway prostitute who is considered to be America’s first female serial killer. She brutally shot and robbed seven men in Florida during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. She claimed that the homicides were committed in self-defense; however, she was found guilty of killing all six men and placed on death row. In 2002, she was executed via lethal injection and a year later her story was depicted in the Academy Award-winning movie “Monster.”

Her Eccentric interview


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_NzXdJWCco

Queen Mary I died tragically November 17, 1558, after a lifetime of ill health, possibly from cancer, according to History Extra, amid great personal and political turmoil. Her eventual marriage to Philip II of Spain had remained deeply unpopular, despite her suppression of the Wyatt Rebellion, and with the Marian Persecutions remaining prominent in the public mind, it seemed that her reign was one of especially destructive religious conflict (per World History). Nevertheless, much of what came to define Mary's time on the throne she inherited from her immediate precursors, Edward VI and Henry VIII, who similarly dealt in religious division and shed blood in the process.


As a cousin to Edward VI, there was no denying that Jane had royal blood. What's more, she was a devout Protestant. That put her in a truly awkward position, as some Protestants wanted her on the throne. Meanwhile, others thought that the Catholic Mary should take over her younger brother's job.

Ultimately, Jane Grey was pushed onto the throne and, within the space of only nine days, knocked off it again. A few months later, Queen Mary ordered her execution. Though much of her story concentrates on those fateful few weeks just after Edward's death, there's more to Jane than her time as a maybe-queen of England.

Edward died of a pulmonary illness when he was just 15, after which his supporters connived to install another Protestant, Lady Jane Grey (pictured), as Edward's successor, though as Henry VIII's eldest surviving daughter Mary was next in line to the throne. But the erstwhile princess was compelled to battle for what she believed to be her divine right.
Mary made her base at Framlington Castle in Suffolk, where she amassed enough troops to challenge Grey for the throne. She seized London to great fanfare and claimed her legitimacy, acceding to the throne in July 1553.

Though it is tempting to portray Mary's use of military might in becoming queen as a ruthless smash-and-grab, historians now argue that her decisive actions in response to her sidelining were an unexpected success that single-handedly ensured the survival of the Tudor dynasty.

Despite Mary I's popularity at the time of her coronation , she soon attracted many enemies. Not only was she bound by her religious convictions to overturn many of the strident Protestant legislation that had been passed by Edward VI — Edward and his advisors had made the Latin Mass and the use of holy relics illegal — she also courted more controversy with the Act of Parliament that ensured a ruling queen had the same sovereign power as any king, and as a result of her proposed marriage to the Catholic Philip II of Spain.

As such, she faced being overthrown by a popular movement known as the Wyatt Rebellion, a Protestant uprising which sought to block the marriage and to install Princess Elizabeth on the throne. When the rebellion was crushed, Mary had its leaders executed and wanted her sister taken to the Tower of London for questioning.

It has become a famous historical tidbit that Mary heartlessly imprisoned her own sister in the Tower, but according to The Tudor Society, Mary's hand was forced in light of the rebellion. Elizabeth was reportedly kept in comfort in the complex's royal palace, was allowed to walk in the grounds, and was released after two — albeit terrifying — months. It may have served Mary well in preventing further uprisings to have had her half-sister disposed of, but instead she kept her close at hand as the only other surviving Tudor.

The reign of Mary I is today defined by her brutal executions of Protestants, known as the Marian Persecutions. But was Mary's campaign of burning at the stake as extraordinarily sadistic as it now appears? Historians now argue that such a horrific method of death served a number of religious purposes. Mary herself claimed that such a shocking public display was "so used that the people might well perceive them not to be condemned without just occasion, whereby they shall both understand the truth and beware to do the like" that such displays would scare people into returning to Catholicism.

Mary I of England

Mary I of England – also known as Bloody Mary – killed a lot of Protestants when attempting to restore Catholicism to England during her reign. The heresy law that she instated is responsible for the burning of over 300 Protestants who were accused of being heretics. She was never prosecuted for any of her crimes; however, after her death, her re-establishment of Catholicism was reversed.


The first woman to rule England in her own right didn’t simply inherit the throne. She seized it with unprecedented ambition from those who sought to thwart her.

Historian Sarah Gristwood describes the ascension of Mary I as a “staggeringly bold” course of action undertaken with little chance of success. Still, she rode into London on August 3, 1553, to widespread acclaim. In the words of one contemporary chronicler, “It was said that no one could remember there ever having been public rejoicing such as this.”




Mary I's bloodthirsty reputation in popular consciousness is ensured almost exclusively by the merciless execution of 287 Protestants, whom she ordered to be burned at the stake as part of the Marian Persecutions during her five-year reign (per Smithsonian Magazine).

However, the common belief that Mary was the bloodiest of all monarchs of the period is tentative at best, and in recent years historians and academics have been at pains to reassess and contextualize the reign of one of England's most misunderstood monarchs. It has been pointed out, for example, that the reign of Henry VIII himself was far more violent, with the contemporary chronicler Raphael Holinshed claiming that some 72,000 people were put to death by his royal decree. In fact, it is increasingly argued that Mary I's tumultuous reign was blighted both personally and politically by the actions of her father. Here is how historians view "Bloody" Mary's place in history today.


Mary was the eldest of Henry VIII's children, and the only offspring from his first marriage, to Catherine of Aragon to survive to adulthood. According to Biography, Mary was a highly intelligent child, a natural scholar who quickly developed a passion for the subjects she was tutored in, most notably music and languages. But from a young age, Mary also developed a deeply religious side, the result of the Catholic faith she was baptized into shortly after her birth. Mary's prodigious assimilation of her faith was admirable, but it was also soon to bWhile Mary was still a teenager, Henry began to demand that the Catholic Church declare his marriage Queen Catherine void, and offer him an annulment. When they refused, Henry split with Rome and formed his own Church of England, installing himself as Head, and divorced Catherine to marry one of her maids, Anne Boleyn. Per Biography, after Boleyn gave birth to her first child the future Elizabeth I the new queen lobbied for Parliament to pass an act that would ensure her daughter's royal lineage. As such, Mary became officially illegitimate, a heart-rending event in her young life that would see her become alienated from her father and from the wider society for many years




Mary stood by her Catholic beliefs throughout her father's marriage to Anne Boleyn, and remained a pariah until after Boleyn's beheading in 1536. But though Mary eventually reconciled with her father, she was once again betrayed when, upon the death of Henry VIII in 1547, the crown was passed to her 9-year-old half-brother, Edward, Henry's son from his third marriage, to Jane Seymour. Mary was appalled by the work of Edward VI or, rather, his advisors and ministers who became a Protestant reformer who sought to erase Catholicism from public life.
