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.
