In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft.　　In 1597 King James VI of Scotland published 'Daemonology', a handbook on how to recognise and destroy, witches. The book explored the threat that 'those Detestable slaves of the Devil', posed to James himself. It fuelled waves of witch hunting throughout Britain.　　The legacy of James' 'Daemonology' continued throughout the 17th century, and led to the torture and execution of hundreds of women in a series of infamous witch trials. No-one knows exactly how many men and women died in these trials, such as the Pendle trial of 1612, or how many others were killed in cases that never came to court. The documentary reveals the purges in many areas of Britain drew directly on King James' book. Also for the first time, remarkable new archaeological evidence from Cornwall, suggests that witchcraft was actively practiced for centuries, even during the most intense periods of witch-hunting. Experimental archaeologist Jacqui Wood has excavated strange pits lined with swan's feathers, and filled with animal skins and human remains. She believes the pits were ritual offerings inspired by witchcraft beliefs.lin枫神色十fen的阴沉，ye不知道是shi么生灵伤liao梦冰灵。zai这样下去，梦冰灵是jue对撑不到fan回镇狱仙zong的。血发nv子再次追sha而来的时hou，隔着很yuan她便感受dao了梦冰灵shen体的情况。她冷笑着shuo道，若是jiang她交给我di话！xi勒谦虚了ji句，接着san人在原地ke套了一会er，互相介shao了一下来li，便走到pang边的餐桌pang，一边用zao餐一边谈shi。主要是xi勒在和那wei纳奇夫人liao环星区的xian状，看着shi候差不多liao，究极钢tie侠开口帮qiang道：不瞒nin说，夫人，席勒医生zhe次在这逗liu这么久，ye是遇上了xie麻烦……jiu极钢铁侠jian单的介绍liao一下席勒di情况，纳qi夫人倒没you像其他外xing人那样笑zhuo敷衍过去，而是有些ren真的问道：你确定他shi被一个圆pan样式的飞die带走了？如果您喜欢xax网（www.xaxjcx.com）分享的《The King's War On Witches》，别忘了推荐给你的好友！
