During Tudor times, particularly in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, accusations of witchcraft became increasingly common, fueled by social unrest and superstition. Many individuals, primarily women, were accused of practicing witchcraft and faced severe consequences, including imprisonment, torture, and execution, often by burning at the stake. The infamous Witchcraft Act of 1542 made witchcraft a felony, leading to a rise in witch hunts. The period was marked by a growing fear of the supernatural and a societal tendency to scapegoat those who were perceived as different or threatening.
