Summary
The trial of Alice Kyteler in Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1324 took place as the result of charges made against this business woman by members of her own family. Richard Ledrede, bishop of Ossory, was keen to obtain her condemnation for demonic association, on the charges listed in this excerpt from the account of her trial which include sacrifices and the boiling of disgusting potions.
