By Bouhier

Comorre the Cursed

Not strictly relevant to the topic, but it explodes the Bluebeard claims nicely, and is in any event a chilling and seldom-read folk tale.

The Montfaucon portrait

This is the nearest to an authentic portrait of Gilles de Rais. It is known as the Montfaucon portrait, from the name of a collector; the picture is by Gilles le Bonnier. E.A.Vizetelly has pointed out that the armorial bearings are those of Montmorency-Laval and not Rais, so there is a possibility that this is really a  representation of Guy de Montmorency-Laval, Gilles's cousin.
