520    Medieval folk had long suspected that the Devil was 
       carrying out his work on earth with the help of his 
       minions. In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII declared this to be 
       true, which resulted in witch-hunts across Europe which 
       lasted for nearly 200 years. In 1645, England (notably 
       Essex) was in the grip of witch fever. Between 1560 and 
       1680 in Essex alone 317 women and 23 men were tried for 
       witchcraft, and over 100 were hanged. Essex Witches 
       recounts many of the local common folk who were tried in 
       the courts for their beliefs and practice in herbal 
       remedies and potions, and for causing, often by their 
       familiars, the deaths of neighbors and even family members,
       and had meted out the harshest penalties for their sorcery
       and demonic ways.
