Belief and practice: Ideas of sorcery and witchcraft in late medieval England.
Liberman-Cuenca, Esther.

Belief and practice: Ideas of sorcery and witchcraft in late medieval England. - 132 p.

Adviser: Marie Kelleher.

Thesis (M.A.)--California State University, Long Beach, 2007.

This thesis analyzes fourteenth- and fifteenth-century sorcery and witchcraft cases from England and argues that witch-beliefs were developed and spread at the community level. Unlike the 1324 trial of Dame Alice Kyteler in Ireland, there were no inquisitional authorities in England that could have influenced ideas about sorcery, which can be found in legal records from London and Durham. The ideas found within these records reflect medieval laypeople's beliefs about magic, as well as their concerns about urgent social problems.

520 $a This thesis analyzes fourteenth- and fifteenth-century sorcery and witchcraft cases from England and argues that witch-beliefs were developed and spread at the community level. Unlike the 1324 trial of Dame Alice Kyteler in Ireland, there were no inquisitional authorities in England that could have influenced ideas about sorcery, which can be found in legal records from London and Durham. The ideas found within these records reflect medieval laypeople's beliefs about magic, as well as their concerns about urgent social problems.
520 $a Furthermore, the belief in sorcery was so prevalent that there did exist a market for the services of professional sorcerers, who were hired to resolve their clients' personal and financial problems, and sometimes for committing regicide. This thesis departs from the traditional historiography that categorizes various forms of magic along strict gender lines and instead argues that this taxonomy does not apply to magical practices in late medieval England.
