I know it’s wrong, but it would be so delicious for the answer to have been Elizabet Bathori.
So, my addition:
By what title is Elizabet Bathori most well known to posterity, and why would she have been a perfect founder of something called “The Council of Blood?”
Actually, she bathed in their blood, not drank it. But, certainly close enough.
As for the title, you’re incorrect, though I believe she was related to Vlad Tepes, certainly from the same general area.
And the name of the captain of the Bismark is hiding just out of reach in the back of my head, dammit. Maybe it’ll come to me before trying to remember drives me nuts today.
As a follow-up question: 124. What was the name of DW Griffith’s follow-up film the next year, which he made in response to charges of racism in The Birth of a Nation?
