In the same year that the trial of
Jacques Roulet was held, on December 14th 1598 the Parliament in
Paris sentenced a tailor from Chalons to death for having transformed into a
werewolf. He was accused of luring children into his parlour and attacking them
when they got lost in the woods, and subsequently devouring their bodies. One of the pieces
of evidence in the trial was a chest full of bones. Not much else is known
about the trial, as it was abundant in so many atrocities that the judges ordered
its files to be burned.
