41 people were sentenced to death for witchcraft in Uztaritz

A Ustaritz judge sentenced 41 people to death because of the spell. Marie de Chorropique, from Lanetabarta, the main culprit, was burned in flames and the other 40 died. They accused the children of dying to use them in the Akelarres. However, the judgment did not follow the necessary procedure as it did not allow the defendants to appeal. The judge’s negligence also drew attention to the cruel inquisitor Pierre De Lancre, he wrote. In Euskal Herria, from the first execution of the documented inquisition (1329) to the last (1610), between 200 and 323 people died, mostly women and all "by law".
