Fabulous Folklore with Icy Sedgwick

June 22, 2025June 22, 2025 Deborah 1223 Views

Icy Sedgwick is an author and podcaster. In this episode of Fabulous Folklore, we talk about two witches – Margery Jourdemayne who is an example of a cunning woman caught up in royal politics and Widow Coman, the Coggeshall Witch, who was targeted relatively late in 1699. We talk about how witchcraft accusations changed to suit the times.
