Sommario/riassunto

A fabulously wealthy 15th-century French aristocrat, A Marshal of France, a celebrated war hero, a true Renaissance man, and an overt homosexual turned into a mass murderer. Gilles de Rais became known as "Bluebeard" with his ghastly dabbling in the Black Arts, extreme depravity, shocking fall from grace, and explosive end reading like a blockbuste.
