Description: xi + 259 pp. many illustrations and maps in b/w and line. Biography of French nobleman Gilles de Rais, known for the intensity of his religious feeling and for committing acts of violence and murder against his wives as well as young children. A good copy in worn and bumped cloth. ISBN 0517540614. read more
"The story of the life and times of Gilles De Rais, a famous and obscenely wealthy French nobleman who achieved great honor as a warrior and fought alongside Joan of Arc...and was eventually put to death for kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering scores of children, mainly the sons of local peasants.
Not all that much is known about this fifteenth-century figure (one of the earliest serial killers known to history), but Leonard Wolf does a respectable job fleshing out his life. He speculates some, but not too much, as to what made De Rais the way he was, and also includes the story of Joan of Arc. (In fact at times it seemed he wanted to write about her more than about De Rais.) A decent enough bio for those interested in historical serial killers."
