  • Resumen

  • Alice Kyteler was a prominent Irish noblewoman born in the early 13th century, notable for being one of the earliest recorded individuals accused of witchcraft in Ireland. She was married four times, each time to wealthy men, and was suspected of using potions and sorcery to harm her husbands, leading to their deaths. In 1324, her fourth husband, Sir John le Poer, fell ill under mysterious circumstances, which triggered accusations against Alice. The Bishop of Ossory, Richard de Ledrede, led the investigation and trial against her. Facing charges of heresy, witchcraft, and consorting with demons, Alice fled Ireland before she could be arrested. Her maid, Petronilla de Meath, was tortured and burned at the stake, but Alice's fate after her escape remains unknown. Her trial is a significant part of medieval European witchcraft history, highlighting the era's fears and superstitions surrounding witchcraft.
