Zusammenfassung:Women were sentenced primarily for ordinary crimes and offences, and they were not from the social margins. The sources reveal, however, how stereotypes concerning women affected the judges rulings. As a result, during the 15th century no archetypal figure of a criminal woman emerges from these sources. //ABSTRACT IN FRENCH: On note l'aspect ordinaire des crimes et délits pour lesquels elles sont condamnées. Loin d'être marginales, les coupables sont assez « ordinaires » d'un point de vue « social ». Pour autant on voit les stéréotypes à propos des femmes agir sur la conception que s'en font les juges. Au final, au XVe siècle, on ne rencontre pas de figure archétypale d'une femme criminelle. Reproduced by permission of Bibliothèque de Sciences Po
