Journal Title: Studia Prawno-Ekonomiczne - Year 2018, Vol 107, Issue
Abstract
King James VI (I) Stuart is known as one of the most important and sophisticated English defenders of absolute monarchy and a furious enemy of the Puritans. However a few know that James was a famous hunter of witches and the author of Daemomologie – the philosophical dissertation on contemporary necromancy, witchcraft, and black magic. In this part the Authors argue King James did not start the witch-hunts in Scotland, but his writings profoundly influenced on the politicization of legal trial of witchcraft by outlining the definition of witchcraft and the manner how to identify and accuse witches. The king’s position of authority allowed his ideas to be highly regarded and widely accepted. According to the Authors James’ personal experiences also determined the development of his views on divine right of a kings.
