It was the 18th century.
Louis XV was king of France. He, and his European counterparts, were building empires even as his subjects were mere decades from
Revolution.
During 1763, a fierce marauding animal roamed the fields and
valleys of
Auvergne and South Dordogne, killing at will. The terror lasted three years.
By the time she was caught, on 19 June 1767, the animal had killed around 100 people in
several different villages. She was La Bete du Gevaudan ("The Beast of Gevaudan"). She remains known in France as
La Bete (the Beast).
