She did not commit suicide. She was tortured to death and died slowy in ghasly agonies. Completly naked.

"Do not stop torturing this Satan's whore.
The Inquisitor has ordered that the abbess Elena Campirelli must confess or die under torture!"

If she will die under tortures without confession it would mean the defeat of the court and torturers

I imagine they have yet to fail in breaking a witch! These guys look like pros!

How nice of them too pour her a drink. They obviously saw she was thirsty after hours of torture. Very kind of them.

"Sister Christina, I know you're a witch. I advice you to confess before I begin the treatment."

"Sister Christina, I know you're a witch. I advice you to confess before I begin the treatment."

But I swear before all that is good and holy. I have nothing to confess!

 

[MICHELE PATRI]

"Why all this suffering? Confess you're a witch and give your ethernal soul to the Lord. The executioner will be merciless and will strangle you at the stake before the flames reach you feet."

An offer of mercy? See the tortures aren't all that back. If the victims would just stop screaming and making it "all about them" they would see that.

The Holy Witch-Finders will certainly obtain the confession they seek.



"You must confess, witch. Since those skewers weren't enough for you, I'll try with a more convincing tool..."
