This is the signed pact between Father Urbain Grandier and the Devil, 1634.

France, 1634. Father Urbain was a French Catholic priest who was burned at the stake after being convicted of witchcraft.

The Father ignored his vow of celibacy, and had the reputation of being a cad. He certainly knew how to get around.

1632, a bunch of nuns accused him of casting a spell on them so he could have his way. They said he sent several demons to them, including the demon Asmodai. These demons would commit evil and impudent acts with them. Their symptoms included fits, convulsions and speaking in tongues.

Over a period of several years, exorcisms were performed, during which nuns barked, screamed blasphemies and acted out obscene contortions. As hysteria around the episodes increased, public exorcisms were performed; they became something of a tourist attraction, drawing curious spectators to Loudon.

At trial the priest was physically tortured. Documents supposedly signed by Grandier and several demons were brought into evidence- Including this pact with the devil himself. The pact is written backwards in Latin and even included the signature of Satan himself.

This is the exact text of said pact:

We, the influential Lucifer, the young Satan, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Elimi, and Astaroth, together with others, have today accepted the covenant pact of Urbain Grandier, who is ours. And him do we promise the love of women, the flower of virgins, the respect of monarchs, honors, lusts and powers. He will go whoring three days long; the carousal will be dear to him. He offers us once in the year a seal of blood, under the feet he will trample the holy things of the church and he will ask us many questions; with this pact he will live twenty years happy on the earth of men, and will later join us to sin against God.

Baalberith, writer.

Lucifer Beelzebub Satan Astaroth Leviathan Elimi

Bound in hell, in the council of demons.

The seals placed the Devil, the master, and the demons, princes of the lord.
