About This Book

A chronological compilation of notorious French criminal cases from the monarchy through the early 19th century, drawing on chronicles, provincial histories, and judicial reports. The volume presents detailed accounts of poisonings, assassinations, massacres, parricides, abductions, frauds, and other offences, often including trial summaries and documentary material. Individual entries recount incidents, outline motives and methods, and note institutional and popular responses, producing a mosaic of violent and fraudulent behavior across regions and eras. The work combines reportage, legal narrative, and moral observation to trace recurring patterns of crime and the ways communities and authorities reacted.
