Books
Maeve Brigid Callan analyses Ireland's medieval heresy trials, including the celebrated case of Alice Kyteler and her associates, prosecuted by Richard de Ledrede, bishop of Ossory, in 1324. This trial marks the dawn of the 'devil-worshipping witch' in European prosecutions, with Ireland an unexpected birthplace.
