Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Angéle de la Barthe (1230-1275 CE)

The Witch

Angéle de la Barthe was born into a noble and prosperous magi family in the southern French city of Toulouse in 1230 CE. Surprisingly, Angéle is not one of the most famous witches in our history because of anything she did. What little family history that remains describe her as friendly, generous, and having a certain flair with enchanting talismans and charms, healing spells, spells protecting others, and finding lost objects. All in all, she was a nice but rather ordinary witch who lived and died at the start of the most terrible period in the history of magic.

Angéle was not famous for what she did, but rather famous for what was done to her. Angéle de la Barthe was the first to be tried by the Inquisition for witchcraft during the nearly 500 year long Reign of Terror known to the mundanes as the medieval witch hunts. Broken by torture, she was burned alive at the stake in 1275.
