Claudia Gaillard, Werewolf of BurgundyClaudia Gaillard was one of the hundreds of unfortunate souls brought to trial by the witch-finder Henry Boguet. According to witnesses, she was seen behind a bush assuming the form of a wolf without a tail. For this great sin, she was set to the torture. Regarding the tortures, the judge commented, "Common report was against her. No one ever saw her shed a single tear, whatever effort might be made to cause her to shed tears." Claudia was then burned to death at the stake (Farrington 64). Lost?Claudia Gaillard, Werewolf of Burgundy copyrighted 1996-1998 to Shantell Powell. |
