Convicting & Sentencing Animals to Death During The Middle Ages

The town of Falaise, Normandy, Northwest France. The year 1386. The murderer had sneaked into the couples home. The husband, Jonnet the Builder was away helping to erect a nearby church while his wife was down at the nearest stream washing some linen garments. Their child was fast asleep in his crib. Seeing her opportunity the killer crept up to the infant and attacked him, mutilating his face and tearing off his arms. It was not long before the perpetrator was caught and given a speedy trial. Being found guilty of murder she was sentenced to be ‘mangled and maimed’ before being given the death penalty. Despite being a female the prisoner was dressed in a new white shirt, waistcoat, a pair of drawers and taken to the gallows. Local people brought the prisoners friends and family down to watch the execution in the hope that they would be deterred from pursuing a life of crime like their associate. This killer was also made to wear a human mask as she was in fact, a pig.
