An Early Modern Teenage Werewolf

An investigation into the Werewolf convictions of the 17th Century.

The witch-hunts of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe are well-known. But did you know that some 300 people were convicted of being werewolves?
In this revelatory podcast with Dr. Jan Machielsen, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb travels back to 1603 to find out more about the moving case of Jean Grenier, a self-confessed teenage werewolf from the Basque region of France. Who was he? And what were the tragic circumstances that led to his conviction?

Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The producer was Rob Weinberg.
All music from Motion Array.
