Nagyecsed 瑙吉埃切德
Nagyecsed is a town in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary.
The old name of the town was Ecsed but over time it has been renamed Nagyecsed, meaning "grand" or "great Ecsed" to distinguish it. The area had close associations with a cadet branch of the Báthory family. Elizabeth Báthory, infamous as The Blood Countess, was raised in the town's now ruined castle. Her main residence and later her prison was Csejte Castle, Upper Hungary now in Slovakia, but she was buried in the family crypt at Ecsed/Nagyecsed. Her title in Hungarian nobility was Countess Elizabeth Báthory von Ecsed. The use of the German adelsprädikat "von" meant "of".
