This is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells.


Eleanor Cobham

"Fifteenth century. Wife of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester. Accused of witchcraft and necromancy. Associated with Margery Jourdain, called the Witch of Eye. Banished for life to Isle of Man" (Wedeck 200). Roger Bolingbroke accused her of treason and of being his accomplice in black magic. Her imprisonment lasted "about the last five years of her life," (Ashley 198) and she died circa 1446.
