Les Grands Jours de la Sorcellerie by Jules Baissac (Klincksieck, Paris, 1890); the early 1600s was a time of plague, which brought with it accusations of witchcraft, banishments, decapitations and burnings at the stake! There is a Montbéliard section. Not for the faint of heart- or those who wax hagiographical over their ancestors.
