Inquisitor Pierre de Lancre starts witch hunting in Lapurdi

416

years ago

2 July 1609,

Inquisitor Pierre de Lancre started a “witch hunt” in Lapurdi. In your language, customs, ways of working, etc. I only saw the touch of the devil. “They speak in strange and unknown language; that is the first bad sign,” he wrote. In his trials at Senpere Castle he tortured and killed 200 people, mostly women.
