James I and the Witch Hunts: A War on Women?

Update: 2024-10-31

Description

When James VI of Scotland ascended the English throne as James I, he sparked the English witch hunts into a fire. They would become one of the largest miscarriages of justice against women in the 17th century, but what prompted them, and why did James become such a ruthless champion of this war on women?

For this Halloween Episode, we join Joint Chief Curator Tracy Borman and historian Gareth Russell, as they explore the witch hunts under James I.

Please be aware that this episode contains themes of sexual violence and torture that some listeners may find distressing.
