Durand Executed After Tyrannical Trial in Braise
The article details the arrest of M. Durand, his six week imprisonment, and a trial before six judges on April 24. He was condemned to die by hanging for introducing reformist preaching and holding assemblies, while priests and nuns urged conversion. He died on the scaffold after singing psalms as drums drowned his voice, with heavy guards and church interference amid protestant imprisonments across several towns.
