Answer: Bathing in girls' blood

In 1610 troops stormed her castle, acting on countless rumours, and caught her red-handed. Some of her servants were tried and executed as accomplices. The countess herself, as a noblewoman, enjoyed immunity from prosecution for murder, but was sealed in a tower in her castle. She died in 1613. She has become a figure of some note in popular culture.

8. How many pregnancies did Queen Maria Luisa of Spain have?

None of these were attributable to her husband King Charles IV, who was blissfully ignorant of his wife's adulterous relationships. The king even promoted his wife's regular lover to first minister of Spain.

9. The vain Russian Empress Elizabeth would not allow anyone at court to wear what colour?

Answer: Pink

The naturally blonde empress once dyed her hair black to comply with the fashion of the time. When she wanted to go back to being blonde the dye would not come out. So, in a fit of rage he shaved her whole head. All her ladies-in-waiting were obliged to do the same.

10. What ended Manuela's, mother-in-law of France's Louis Napoleon, career as head of the household to Queen Isabella of Spain?

Answer: A sex scandal

After this, she took to selling sexual favours to British ministers visiting Madrid.
