∙ 13y agoIt is hard to know exactly when witchcraft became illegal in England, because our records are incomplete. King Athelstan had a law against them; he ruled from 923 or 924 to 939, but the fact that we do not even know the precise date he became king speaks to our lack of records. His laws had to do with the use of witchcraft to commit murder, and not merely to witchcraft itself.
Witchcraft was not much of an issue in most of Europe during the Middle Ages, and England was not exceptional in this respect. There were laws passed under King Edward VI and later, but this was after the Middle Ages ended. The extensive witch hunts and trials in English history began in the 16th century.
There is a link to an article on witch hunts below.
