What caused the witch hunts of England?

The really intense witch hunts in England were the result of the intense feeling on the subject by King James I of England, who was also King James VI of Scotland. These began in North Berwick, Scotland in 1590, after King James had been hit by a storm while at sea on the way to Denmark, where he was to marry. The storm was blamed on witches. King James I published a book called Daemonologie on the subject of witches, and it was influential in later trials in Britain, North America, and elsewhere.It should be noted that this was not during the Middle Ages, but rather a thing of the Renaissance.Please see the links below.
