== Biography ==
In 1536 she was witnessed entering houses, the residents of which would die soon afterwards. She was arrested and judged. She confessed to being part of a coven with forty other witches, who made an ointment that, when used to grease a door latch, would cause those who touched it to die soon afterwards. 
== Similarity to Other Incidents ==
A similar event occurred in Geneva in 1563, and was associated with a seven-year plague outbreak in the city. 
Another similar occurrence is recorded in Rome in 152 BCE, wherein 170 people identified by later authorities as witches were executed for a poisoning campaign. 
Delancre implies that all three of these incidents may have been the result of mundane poisoning, instead of witchcraft.
