#tortureandexecution

Torture and execution    

                                    ...of witches
according to the malleus malefacrum
assaults 
lynching 
and summary executions 
by burning 
by hanging 
of children
decline of
final speech 
for sleeplessness 
horrific accounts of impact on the Belvoir witches
And James I involvement in the case of Agnes Samson 
as justified and essential 
last known in England location 
atmosphere 
of play inspired by 
pressed to death 
sexual undertones 
stays of execution due to pregnancy 
and fear of the beholders 
unease over witch pricking
