- Dame Alice Kyteler Prosecuted for Sorcery in 1324 by Richard de Ledred Bishop of Ossory

Bag om A Contemporary Narrative of the Proceedings Against Dame Alice Kyteler Prosecuted for Sorcery

The narrative published in this volume not only affords a curious picture of the state of Ireland in the reign of Edward II, but it forms an interesting chapter in the history of English superstition. Witchcraft was one of the oldest and most deeply rooted articles of the superstitious belief of the people, and seems to have existed among all nations. It was in this dark period in our history, the fifteenth century, that in England, charges of sorcery were first raised against people of eminence by their political adversaries. This book deals with such issues.
