  Urbain Grandier

Urban Grandier (1590 - August 18, 1634) was a French catholic priest who was accused and executed of seduction and witchcraft in 1634. Urban Gandier was a priest of the church of Sainte Croix at Loudun in Vienne, France. He had a reputation as a ladies' man. In 1632 some of the novices of the local Ursulines convent, encouraged by their mother superior, stated that Grandier had seduced them with the help of demons. Trial dragged on for two years and Grandier was eventually found guilty. He was burned at the stake on August 18, 1634.
