Matthew Hopkins, known as the "Witchfinder General," was responsible for the execution of approximately 300 individuals during the English Civil War, the majority of whom were women accused of witchcraft. His activities took place mainly between 1644 and 1647. While exact numbers can vary, historical estimates suggest that around 100 to 200 of those executed were women. His methods and the fervor of the witch hunts he led contributed significantly to the witch trials in England during that period.
