115: La Voisin
In 17th Century Paris, Catherine Monvoisin was a famous fortune-teller, poisoner, and practitioner of black magic. She helped Paris high society with their problems. Her poisons and black magic may have had a hand in murdering between 1,000 and 2,500 people.
And then she got involved with a woman looking for help killing her lover -- King Louis IVX. That's where things got messy for La Voisin.
