Résumé
The inquisition came relatively late into French-speaking Switzerland. Its coming as a permanent institution was due to a first case against Waldensian heretics in Fribourg in 1399, that was followed by a second case in 1430. Soon, the Dominican inquisitors from Lausanne were to deal with a new sect, that of the supposed worshippers of the devil, hence the emergence of trials for witchcraft at a particularly early time in Western Switzerland. Yet, ecclesiastical judges did not work in an empty space; they were confronted with other powers such as the city of Fribourg, the bishop of Lausanne, and his cathedral chapter, that conditioned their sphere of activity.
