there is more burning of witches.
Ordinarily, most places witches are hung.
And it's because in the German lands, they are treating witches as heretics.
It's just that link again.
And you burn heretics because you don't want anyone to make relics, which is like taking their body parts after the fact and turning them into saints.
So, for example, in England, during the witch panics, you're going to hang the witches in the German lands.
It's more likely that you will burn them.
But on the whole, more people are hung than are burned.
the German lands, they are going to burn you.
But it's because they're using things like this.
So it's an interesting one because the Malleus is...
Fairly influential in some circles.
So, for example, we know one of our nuttier kings here in England, James I, is fairly influenced by it.
And he writes his own, frankly, bonkers text, The Demonarium, which I do recommend people read.
Because it is similarly outrageous.
Yeah, it's mad.
It's crazy.
It's just like he a lot more believes in actual demons.
Which is what's fun about the demonarium.
But he also believes that like witches are trying to sink his boat or something.
