Claudia Gaillard, Werewolf of Burgundy

Claudia 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).
