In this weeks episode, Charlie and Shelby take a trip to medieval France with the story of a grisly murderer by the name of Gilles de Rais. Gilles gained an admirable amount of accolades in his life and even fought alongside Joan of Arc, yes, THE Joan of Arc. He'd accumulate a good amount of wealth which he would use in various ways, eventually squandering it. Then the grisly details come into play because it would be found out the Gilles was responsible for the deaths of an estimated hundreds of children, which we would be tried and sentenced to death for. This episode, while interesting, is not for everyone. Listen at your own risk.
