Have been Googling and there are different figures from different people, but came up with these numbers on Wiki ...
35,184 - 63,850 minus 35 -37 American witch executions.

There is so much info out there, it's difficult to know which one to quote ..... this number "200,000 accusations and 100,000 executions" comes from the following .. www.holocaust-history.org/~rjg/witches.shtml .. not sure if "accusations" count as actual trials though. If those numbers aren't the right ones, I give up ;D ;D getting sore eyes from all that reading!! |
