    witchcraft

    By Ashley Davis

    James the 1

    st

    James was king of Scotland until 1603, when he


    became the first Stuart king of England as well as
    creating the kingdom of Great Britain.
    James was born on 19 June 1566 in Edinburgh
    Castle. His mother was Mary Queen of Scots and
    his father her second husband Lord Darnley.
    Darnley was murdered in February 1567.
    One of James's great contributions to England
    was the Authorised King James's Version of the
    bible.

    James first book


    In 1597 he published a book that he
    had written on the subject of
    witchcraft, his Daemonologie. In this
    work, James put the traditional
    arguments in favour of a belief in
    witchcraft, and his lifelong interest in
    the subject is evidenced by the fact
    that he himself participated in a
    number of trials of alleged witches.

    Salem witch trials


    The infamous Salem witch trials began
    during the spring of 1692, after a group of
    young girls in Salem Village,
    Massachusetts, claimed to be possessed
    by the devil and accused several local
    women of witchcraft.
