Something Was Growing Inside This Queen’s Womb While She Was Consumed Alive

Something was growing inside her while the rest of her body wasted away. Eleonore von Schwarzenberg was one of the most unsettling medical mysteries of early modern Europe. As her health declined, witnesses described a body that seemed to move in two opposite directions at once — extreme wasting of the limbs and face, paired with a steadily swelling abdomen. Court servants spoke in whispers. Physicians were baffled. Rumors spread faster than explanations. This video reconstructs the final years of Eleonore von Schwarzenberg through contemporary accounts, medical descriptions, and post-mortem observations. It examines how a misunderstood illness, combined with early modern medicine and superstition, transformed a noblewoman into a figure of fear — even after death. From the physical symptoms that horrified the court to the strange precautions taken around her body, this is the true story behind the woman later labeled a “vampire princess,” and the biological reality that legend tried to conceal.
