From October 27th: Burn and torture all the witches! Here we see a very morbid scene in the spirit of Halloween from Chroniques de France ou de St Denis c. 1332-1350. Witches are burned and tortured, while Mummolus, a former prefect for the King of Burgundy, is hanged following accusations of sorcery by the Queen Fredegunda.
