Episodes
Travelling to Scotland and Denmark, Suzannah uncovers the story of how, by the end of 1590, Scotland was in the grip of its first ever mass witch trial. More than a hundred people were hunted down as witches in league with the Devil and many were burned at the stake.
James I's son, Charles, pretty much ended the hunting and execution of witches. But then the Civil War engulfed England, and Charles lost control.
Religious zeal, paranoia and trumped-up charges. For a century, they fueled brutal scourges that claimed innocent lives.
