[edit] Events
- John Dee and Edward Kelley depart for Poland to begin a tour of Europe. Welcomed by King Stephen Bathory of Poland, they eventually travel to visit the king's neice, the Countess Elizabeth Bathory, in Austria. Elizabeth is conducting black magic rituals which involve the blood sacrifice of young women. Francis Pearson is also present at these rituals, which result in the conjuration of the Mimic, which pursues Pearson back to England. The Doctor is also present at some point in these events, and tries and fails to save a young girl from the countess. The experience still haunts him in his fourth incarnation (MA: Managra).
