In Irish Witchcraft and Demonology, Anglican priest and historian St. John D. Seymour traces the 500-year history of witchcraft and sorcery in Ireland, beginning with the sensational trial of Dame Alice Kyteler who, in 1324, was accused of using black magic to hasten the death of her fourth husband, John le Poer.
