From March 2 through the end of May 1767, about three months, thirteen
people lost their lives, an average of about one death per week, including
seven children, five teenagers, and a forty-eight-year-old woman. Many were
around the parishes of Saugues, La Besseyre-Saint-Mary, Grèzes, and Auvers. Two were killed on May 5. There were possibly as many as thirty attacks
altogether during this period.
