Witchcraft was the middle ages way to explain people who were different, red heads, had disabilities, and problems that arose. There was no science and superstition was the science. People were hung, burned at the stake, drowned, and tortured in the name of witchcraft. Often their bodies were placed in cross roads so not to rise again. People were accused of witchcraft as a means for an answer things people didn't understand. So, to ask about who were witches doesn't matter. I know of no known cases of Nobility who were accused of witchcraft.
