The persecution of witches in the 16th and 17th Century has already been researched. The focus was primarily on the German witch hunts. This study takes a look at the English witch hunt and compares it to the persecution of witches in Germany. After clarifying the terminology and the origin of the English and German belief in witches, the differences in the jurisprudence in Germany and in England are analyzed and the question is raised to what extent the legal situation contributed to the increased number of victims in Germany. Using the example of Ellwangen, the English Hopkins Trials and the Electoral Palatinate, it is shown, that witch hunts with many and no victims were possible in both countries, if certain conditions were met. Furthermore, the differences between the German and English belief in witches are analyzed. In addition to numerous early modern pamphlets, the study also uses interrogation protocols and various legal texts as a source.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
