Konrad Von
Marburg, an Inquisitor from Germany ordered witches to be burned to a stake for
worshipping Satan and for supposedly creating diabolical creatures. Konrad is known to be well educated who
possibly received an education from a university. He is also known for his strong belief on the
teachings of the church.
But during
his work as a spiritual detector, he is known to be unfair who easily believes
in every accusation made in an individual.
Those who were accused would immediately be sought out by his men and
would be instantly asked to repel on their sin or else they would be burned at
stake. He was commissioned by the Pope
in year 1227 to eradicate heresy totally.
It was said that a panic would occur in the town that Konrad would pass
through.
He is known
to be sending those proven to be witches on their final resting ground. He also believed that these witches can raise
demonical creature (includes werewolves and other vampiric creatures) and
command them in tormenting a whole village.
It was also noted that Konrad was against the family of the feline as he
believed that black cat was necessary for performing diabolical rituals.
Konrad
accused Count Henry II of performing satanic rituals. Henry appealed his case to the group of
bishop in Mainz and was proven innocent.
Konrad was unable to accept the verdict of the bishop and demanded them
to reverse their verdict. Eventually Konrad
left Mainz and returned to Marburg where he was murdered by a group of knights
which were believed to be in service of Henry II.
Konrad died
on July 30, 1233.
