They equated their slaughter to no more than animal abuse and would not have even dealt with Gilles had his land holdings not been so large and had he not been so recently wasteful. Due to the nobles of the era disregarding the human rights of commoners, they felt the populations of their territories were no more than disposable livestock. He started to abduct young boys from the area of his domain, raping and slaughtering them by the hundreds, which eventually made him the model for fairy tale "Bluebeard." ĭespite the atrocities, others only feared that he would sell his domains to an enemy nation for the purpose of raising money, so they convicted and executed him for his blasphemy and cruel deeds only for the political pretenses of seizing his territory in 1440. François was the primary magus in charge of the rituals, Gilles having no true knowledge of the craft and only acting as a patron. As he went into madness over the loss of Joan, he began to perform cruel deeds to prove that God is absent because he should punish such actions, losing sight of his monetary problems in dabbling in alchemy and instead concentrating on the aspect of the black magic of summoning demons. Gilles wasted his seemingly endless fortune extremely quickly to the point where his public finances were almost entirely depleted, so he started to get involved with alchemy with his friend François Prelati, a cleric, to make up for the financial burdens. Gilles before his execution ( "The Execution of Gilles de Rais") Gilles viewed Jeanne as the basis for everything to him, his sole salvation and the proof that God existed, so his pious heart fell into despair after Jeanne was executed as a heretic. Both were present at the coronation ceremony of King Charles, decorated as saviors and national heroes, and it became a memory that forever encapsulated his glory that even his corruption could not overwhelm. He became a national hero during the Hundred Years War while serving under the Jeanne d'Arc after helping to recapture Orleans, and he was given the highest honor with the title of Marshal of France.
His apex land holdings eventually exceeded those held by the Duke of Brittany and could be regarded as a threat to the king.
He had a vast fortune, buying up many works of art, and it seemed to many that it would never deplete. He was a French nobleman, ranked as a baron, and member of the military during the 15th century.
