“Jeanne Debrigue: The Witch Paris Tried to Forget”

In 1390, a woman named Jeanne Debrigue was accused of witchcraft in Paris. A healer, midwife, and wise woman of the people—Jeanne wasn’t burned. She was tried in the shadow of Notre-Dame, tortured, and sentenced to life in prison for knowing “too much.”

She was one of the first documented victims of the Parisian witch trials, long before the craze reached Europe’s countryside.

Her name faded… but her blood didn’t.

In Blood of Montmartre, Jules de Brigue carries her legacy. And the silence that cost Jeanne her freedom? It’s cracking open.

Witchblood Archives #01: Jeanne de Brigue

She read the future in water. Paris called her a witch. But she was only the first.

Paris, 1390. A woman named Jeanne de Brigue is dragged before a judge, accused of sorcery. Her crime? She healed. She whispered words to water. She knew things she shouldn’t.

They said she had inherited “the gift” from her mother and grandmother. She could see missing objects. She could soothe the sick. She spoke of spirits. She read the currents of fate in bowls of clear springwater.

The people called her la divineresse. The church called her heretic. The court called her witch.

She was the first woman officially tried for sorcery in Paris. Not the last.

She was tortured, judged, and sentenced to life in prison—not burned, not drowned, but buried alive in stone. Hidden. Forgotten.

But blood remembers. And in Blood of Montmartre, her legacy rises again.
