Why Was King James I Obsessed With Witch Trials? | The Trials Of The Pendle Witches (2017x58)

Fecha de emisión: Ago 11, 2017

This is an extraordinary story of the most disturbing witch trial in British history and the key role played in it by one nine-year-old girl. Jennet Device, a beggar-girl from Pendle in Lancashire, was the star witness in 1612 in the trial of her own mother, her brother, her sister and many of her neighbours; thanks to her chilling testimony, they were all hanged.
