EN
The object of this study is Sybilla of Marsal, a woman who lived in the 13th-century France. Her story was first described by Richer of Senones in Gesta Senoniensis Ecclesiae. The study presents how Sybilla was able to convince not only simple locals but also the monks and the bishop of Metz that she was chosen by God in a particular way. It also explores the question why some women feigned sainthood, who their victims were and whether it were only women or also men who pretended to be holy and, finally, what kind of punishment they had to suffer.

Celem pracy było przedstawienie postaci żyjącej w XIII-wiecznej Francji, Sybilli z Marsal. Przybliżono postać kobiety, której historia została spisana przez Richera z Senones, który w Gesta Senoniensis Ecclesiae opisał wydarzenia z nią związane. Praca przedstawia, w jaki sposób Sybilli udało się przekonać zarówno prostych mieszkańców, jak i zakonników oraz biskupa z Metz, że w sposób szczególny została wybrana przez Boga. Ponadto praca ukazała, dlaczego kobiety udawały święte, kim były ich ofiary, czy tylko kobiety udawały święte oraz jaka spotykała je kara za oszustwo.
