At least if you drown, your family won’t suffer the stigma of being associated with a witch and your property won’t be seized

I’m pretty sure witch hunts didn’t start until the Renaissance and after the fall of Constantinople but I could be wrong

So it must have been pretty awkward when the bubbles stopped coming up because by their trial, she isn’t a witch.

Just die and come back to life after 3 days, then call yourself the 2nd coming. You’ll split the village in half and start a civil war wherin you have a shot at getting out alive.

I remember hearing somewhere that in any given year more people were killed by falling trees than by the witch hunts and that it really wasnt a common thing
I dont have any evidence for it so I wont say its a fact but it makes sense to me since even at salem (which as far as I can remember off the top of my head) was like the worst single one only like 30 people died

Wasn’t this the early modern era and not the medieval ages?

>They set up a huge cask and lled it with water and stretched a plank of wood across it. Then they bound the arms of the accused, tied a rope around his shoulders and threw him into the cask. If he were innocent, then he would sink in the water and they would then pull him up by that rope so he wouldn’t die in the water; if he were guilty, then he would not sink in the water. That man tried eagerly to sink into the water when they threw him in, but he couldn’t do it. So he had to submit to their judgment – may God curse them – and they did some work on his eyes.
>The man later arrived in Damascus, so the amir Mu’in al-Din (may God have mercy upon him) assigned him a stipend to meet all his needs and said to one of his attendants, ‘Take him to Burhan al-Din al-Balkhi (may God have mercy upon him) and tell him to order someone to teach the Qur’an and some jurisprudence to this man.’
>At this the blind man said, ‘Victory and mastery be yours! This wasn’t what I was thinking!’
>‘Then what were you thinking I would do?’ asked the amir.
>‘That you would give me a horse, a mule and weapons, and make a horseman out of me!’ the man answered.
>The amir then said, ‘I never thought that a blind man would join the ranks of our cavalry.’

Witch trials weren’t a thing in midieval Europe. Instead you had trials like accusing a Pig of a Crime.
