The true cause of the Witch Craze in Britain is not known, but the story of Matthew Hopkins provides some clues. One of the most notorious figures in English history, he was known as the "Witch-Finder General." Hopkins acquired a feared and evil reputation as a 'fingerman' (informer), paid by local authorities to commit perjury. Together with John Sterne, in just 14 months, Hopkins was responsible for the condemnations and executions of some 230 alleged witches, more than all the other witch-hunters during the 160-year peak of the country's witchcraft hysteria. About 5000 people were executed for witchcraft in Britain during the craze.
