Through the Veil

Matthew Hopkins


Listen Later

Out of 300 years of witch-hunts and trials in England, one fourteen month period saw more than half of the executions for witchcraft in the nation's history.

This violent time occurred at the hands of a self-righteous man of East Anglia. Under the guidance of Matthew Hopkins, at least 300 accused witches were executed for supposed crimes. He was the authority on witchcraft in the region, and had a taste for cruelty.

His self-appointed title: Witchfinder General.
