Berande
Berande
An alleged sorceress burnt at Maubec, in France, in 1577, at the height of the witchcraft hysteria. She was confronted and accused of sorcery, and when she denied it, her accuser exclaimed, "Dost thou not remember how at the last dance at the Croix du Paté, thou didst carry a pot of poison?" Then Berande confessed and was burnt along with her accuser.
