Gilles De Rais, a marshal of France and a lord of the Breton marches. A noted soldier, he was at Orleans with Joan of Arc. He was a liberal patron of music, literature, and the arts. After his retirement, rumors spread of satanic and vicious doings in his castle. He was tried in an ecclesiastical court, and he confessed to kidnaping more than 100 children, mostly boys, and to murdering them after maltreating them. He was handed over by the Church to the civil authorities and was executed. There is no reason to doubt his confession. He has been supposed, probably wrongly, to be the original of Bluebeard. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tennille Dix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kessinger Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.00h x 9.02w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781163209820\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kessinger Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40752213459059,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":56.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7fc04912-8919-472e-adb0-75c5b136e7f9.jpg?v=1678460759","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-black-baron-the-strange-life-of-gilles-de-rais-9781163209820","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
