King James And The Witches Of Lothian

By Thomas Wright

Book Overview

""King James and the Witches of Lothian"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Thomas Wright. The book explores the infamous North Berwick witch trials that took place in Scotland during the reign of King James VI in the late 16th century. The story focuses on the king's personal involvement in the trials and his obsession with the occult, which led to the persecution and execution of numerous innocent people accused of witchcraft. The book also delves into the political and religious climate of the time, as well as the cultural beliefs and superstitions that fueled the witch hunts. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, Wright provides a detailed and vivid account of this dark period in Scottish history. The book sheds light on the brutal treatment of women and marginalized communities during the witch craze and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of religious fanaticism and mass hysteria.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Narratives of Sorcery and Magic From the Most Authentic Sources Part 1, by Thomas Wright.
