Description

Agnes Sampson was a Scottish woman accused of witchcraft during the infamous North Berwick witch trials in the late 16th century. Known as the "Wise Woman of Keith," she was a healer and midwife, which made her a target for suspicion. In 1591, Sampson was arrested, tortured, and ultimately confessed to practicing witchcraft, including allegedly attempting to murder King James VI through sorcery.
