Well howdy and welcome to episode 90 of High Tales of History! For the month of October we are taking a trip into spooky and horrible histories and in episode 90, we are taking a trip to Europe to hear all about their werewolf trials which came out of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries' anxieties about religious and political clashes as well as a gross attempt to find a scapegoat for these changes and harsh conditions. Next, we head to the court of France's King Louis XIV, a place that is already a hotbed of jealousy, deceit and ambition and add poison and magic spells meant to eliminate enemies and influence their position at court. We also take a side trip to Italy to learn about the Aqua Tofana poison ring which may have been responsible for 600 deaths! *~*~*~*~* Mentioned in the Episode: Episode 31: History's Worst Serial Killers You've Never Heard Of *~*~*~*~*~ The Socials and Patreon!
