In 1611 at Aix-en-Provence (South of France), Father Gaufridi  was burnt alive. As in the Loudun possessions, sexual themes played a large role in the possession testimony.

Father Gaufridi was convicted by his own confessions under torture as well as the testimonies of the possessed nuns, Sister Madeleine Demandolx de la Palud and Sister Louise Capel.

Both Father Gaufridi and Sister Madeleine recited their renouncement of god and the saints before the church.  Both nuns were banished from the convent. This is also the first case where the testimony of a possessed person was taken into account during the conviction of Father Gaufridi.

Prior to the seventeenth century, a possessed person's testimony was not used since demons were known to be liars. In 1613, two years later, the possession hysteria spread to nearby Lille. In Lille it was reported that three nuns were possessed. They accused Sister Marie de Sains of bewitching them.
