This talk explores how the 1324 trial of Alice Kyteler and her alleged accomplices provided the foundation for future European witch trials. It also considers the resistance to the prosecution and how these events fit in the overall context of Ireland, Britain, and Europe in the early fourteenth century. Held on the 700th anniversary of the day that Alice was officially condemned as a witch and fled Ireland to escape execution. |
