Magic & Witchcraft, covers everything you need to know about the hunts and trials that cut a bloody swathe across Europe and the American Colonies from the Medieval times to the Early Modern age. The witches, the accusations, the evidence and the victims.
In a continent ravaged by plague, war and religious upheaval, maleficium (malicious magic) was just one more menace that people had to weather. No one was safe from maleficium, nor from accusations of practising magic and consorting with the Devil - not even queens and courtiers.
