Paranoia.
Hatred.
One that sparks one of the earliest witch trials in British history.
One that, believe it or not, still reaches into our lives to this very day.
And yet, at the time, no one saw it coming.
All right.
So let's start with a queen.
So our story begins in the mid-1500s.
Now, look, just a little heads up.
This particular chapter of history is, let's just say, complex.
There's like royal bloodlines and religious feuds.
And so for the purposes of our story today, I'm going to give you a very streamlined version of the history, which brings us to 1542.
A baby girl has just been made Queen of Scotland.
She's not even a week old.
And her name is Mary Stewart.
So Mary's family tree is, between you and I, utter chaos.
Stick with me on this one.
So Mary's dad just died.
That would be James V of Scotland.
He was the son of the sister, stay with me, son of the sister of the English king, Henry VIII.
