Gilles de Rais was a war hero and a Marshal of France, who fought alongside Joan of Arc to drive out the English invaders. He was also a serial killer. During his trial he confessed to the most terrible crimes imaginable. The court heard stories of alchemy, demon summoning, heresy, and the admission that the great lord and his accomplices had abducted, abused, and murdered countless children.

And what about those who claim that he was, in fact, an innocent man - framed by a conspiracy of powerful lords who wanted his wealth for themselves? This is the shocking story of the famous knight, wealthy baron, and medieval serial killer Gilles de Rais.
