The European witch-hunts we hear about mostly come from after the Middle Ages. There were people tried as witches during the Middle Ages, but not in very great numbers.

The laws of Charlemagne forbade punishing the practice of witchcraft with execution of any type unless it could be proven they had actually killed someone with a curse. The Lombard legal code was similar.
