I read a book on her once, that was far from her most horrible use of torture, just the most goulish.
She and her husband used to pose serving girls in the courtyard before parties on sub zero days, then they would pour freezing water on them from above hoping that the girls would become frozen statues.
She enjoyed burning servants to death.
She also loved to whip girls with a metal clawed whip, but unlike traditionalist who would apply the lash to the back, Liz liked to apply the lash to the front so that she could see the suffering on thier face.
Flogging girls to near death for not completing tasks to her satisfaction
At the end she got careless as she was basically tossing bodies over her castle wall.
Her aids were all burned as witches, but the Countess due to her social standings was sentenced to living death and walled into a small closet where she died without regret 4 years later.
Apparently she was quite lovely
