This is a listing of people executed for witchcraft, many of whom were executed during organized witch-hunts, particularly during the 15th–18th centuries. Large numbers of people were prosecuted for witchcraft in Europe betwixt 1560 and 1630.^[1] Until around 1440, witchcraft-related prosecutions in Europe centered on maleficium, the concept of using supernatural powers specifically to damage others. Cases came about from accusations of the utilize of ritual magic to harm rivals.^[1] Until the early 15th century, there was little association of witchcraft with Satan.^[2] From that time organized witch-hunts increased, every bit did individual accusations of sorcery. The nature of the charges brought changed as more than cases were linked to diabolism. Throughout the century, several treatises were published that helped to found a stereotype of the witch, especially the Satanic connection. During the 16th century, witchcraft prosecutions stabilized and even declined in some areas.^[ii] Witch-hunts increased again in the 17th century. The witch trials in Early Modern Europe included the Basque witch trials in Spain, the Fulda witch trials in Germany, the N Berwick witch trials in Scotland, and the Torsåker witch trials in Sweden.

At that place were too witch-hunts during the 17th century in the American colonies. These were particularly mutual in the colonies of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Haven. The myth of the witch had a strong cultural presence in 17th century New England and, as in Europe, witchcraft was strongly associated with devil-worship.^[3] Nearly eighty people were defendant of practicing witchcraft in a witch-hunt that lasted throughout New England from 1647 to 1663. Thirteen women and 2 men were executed.^[four] The Salem witch trials followed in 1692–93, culminating in the executions of 20 people. Five others died in jail.

Information technology has been estimated that tens of thousands of people were executed for witchcraft in Europe and the American colonies over several hundred years. The verbal number is unknown, just modern conservative scholars estimate around 40,000–l,000.^[A] Scholar Carlo Ginzburg of the Academy of Bologna, in his work Nighttime Battles, estimates the number betwixt iii-4 meg people. Common methods of execution for convicted witches were hanging, drowning and burning. Called-for was often favored, especially in Europe, as it was considered a more painful style to die.^[5] Prosecutors in the American colonies by and large preferred hanging in cases of witchcraft.^[five]

Notes [edit]

   According to Kors & Peters, modernistic scholars identify the number of executions for witchcraft at no greater than 50,000.^[26] According to Merriman, some estimates are college.^[27] Levack multiplied the number of known European witch trials by the average rate of conviction and execution, to arrive at a figure of around 60,000 deaths.^[28] Barstow adapted Levack's estimate to business relationship for lost records, estimating 100,000 deaths. Many were burned by the pale, decapitated, and tortured in various ways.^[29] Hutton argues that Levack's estimate had already been adapted for these, and revises the effigy to approximately 40,000.^[30]
