Om avsnittet
How did harmless medieval healers become hunted as terrifying, devil-worshiping conspirators? Matt Lewis and Professor Marion Gibson explore the chilling origins of the witch trials; how a humiliated inquisitor named Heinrich Kramer, after being publicly defied by a local woman in Innsbruck, penned the infamous Malleus Maleficarum? This sinister manual weaponised folk magic and unleashed centuries of terror across Europe.
