Killing 15 Minutes

In the 1400s, France saw massive upheavals in socio-political conquests, and the right hand of Joan of Arc was Gilles de Rais, the man who kidnapped and sacrificed kids to try and summon demons according to the last 500 years of potential propaganda. Sounds like a fun guy.

Gilles de Reys, a knight and lord from Brittany, was convicted as a confessed serial killer of children in the 1400s. He was involved in the occult and attempted to summon a demon multiple times. He confessed to killing between 100 to 200 children and was executed in 1440. There have been questions of his guilt and conspiracy theories surrounding his case. The history of the case is written by those who gained from it, and it is difficult to determine the exact truth after 500 years. The podcast acknowledges the limitations of a 15-minute episode in exploring such a complex case.
