À propos de cet audio

In this episode, Charlie Higson digs into the dark world of a man sometimes called the first serial killer.


Gilles de Rais was accused of, and eventually confessed to some awful, depraved crimes, and this was a man who was a companion in arms of Joan of Arc!


At his trial, he was hanged for the murder of 140 children, both young men and women, killed for sexual pleasure and to help him in satanic rituals.


So did he do it? There were confessions, many of which you can read even today, full of disturbing detail, but nevertheless, from nearly 600 years ago, still there for us to try and decipher.


A far easier route however is to press 'play' on this podcast as Charlie and Matthew Lewis try and separate fact from hearsay.
