    Gilles de Rais: The World’s First Serial Killer or a Wrongly Convicted Martyr?
    Jul 12 2024
    In 15th-century France, Gilles de Rais, a wealthy nobleman and celebrated war hero, descended into madness and infamy. Initially known for his bravery alongside Joan of Arc, he became notorious for the abduction, torture, and murder of over 140 children. His heinous crimes were driven by a thirst for violence and a failed pursuit of alchemy and satanic rituals. While he confessed under threat of torture, some believe de Rais was a victim of a church conspiracy, leaving his true guilt or innocence forever shrouded in mystery.
