0:56Now PlayingThe trials of the Pendle witches in 1612 are among the best-documented witch trials in English history.
The twelve accused lived near Pendle Hill in Lancashire and were charged with the murders of ten people through witchcraft.
All but two of the Northumberland witches were tried at Lancaster Assizes on 18–19 August 1612, along with other cases that have become known as the Lancashire witch trials.
Of the eleven defendants who went to trial, ten were found guilty and executed by hanging; one was acquitted.
