Yes, she is condemned to death by the vigilantes mostly on suspicion of misdeeds rather than because of any clear evidence. The only exception I think is her killing of Constance, and that was pure vindictiveness, so harder to forgive.

I can't remember now if there was proof that it was she who sent D'Artagnan the poisoned wine, though we do know she sent assassins to polish him off. When you think of what D'Artagnan did to her, there was a certain amount of provocation.

I agree with you issybird on Clytemnestra - plenty of provocation there too.
