The Bleeding Nun/Beatrice
Baptiste presents himself as a woodsman, but he is really a bandit who lures unsuspecting travelers into his cottage in the forest outside Strasbourg in order to murder and rob them. He forces his wife, Marguerite, to help him carry out his murderous schemes by threatening to harm her sons should she ever try to escape. After Marguerite covertly alerts Raymond to Baptiste’s plans to murder Raymond and the other travelers, Raymond successfully outsmarts Baptiste, stabbing him to death.
