Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles moments of turmoil and upheaval that shook France during the 16th and 17th centuries, including the infamous trial of Urbain Grandier. Grandier, the curate of Loudon, was falsely accused of sorcery and burned at the stake in 1634 after a series of fraudulent and inhumane trials, which are examined in great detail. The author also explores the broader implications of this case, including the severe limitations on free speech and the grotesque extent of religious persecution that was prevalent in France at the time. A fascinating historical study, this book provides a unique look at religious fanaticism and the dangers of unchecked clerical power.
