Gilles de Rais: Inspiring Murderous French Folktales Since the 1400s

Join us as we cover the world's first recorded Serial Killer: Gilles de Rais. Part French Nobleman, part child torturer and murderer, he is believed to have killed up to 200 children during his criminal career. But wait, there's more! Did I mention that he was also friends with Joan of Arc? Yep. That's right, the teenage saint who was deemed a heretic and burned at the stake. Apologies in advance for the audio quality issues. We are new at this, and we are working on it. Thanks for listening!
