Download File Identity and Social Structure in Early Modern Politics: How Opportunities induced Witch Trials in Scotland, 1563 - 1736. Anna Karoline Mitschele Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Anna Karoline Mitschele All rights reserved ABSTRACT Identity and Social Structure in Early Modern Politics: How Opportunities induced Witch Trials in Scotland, 1563 - 1736. Anna Karoline Mitschele Between 1563 and 1736 there were 3,212 accusations of witchcraft in Scotland. Existing accounts have identified ideology, conflict or anomie as causes of witch trials. However, for the Scottish case, the combination of the extreme temporal and geographical variation of witch trials on the one hand and the conspicuous over-representation of gentry on the other hand has hitherto remained a puzzle. My dissertation solves this puzzle by showing that witch trials emerge out of identity activated through the opening of opportunities for upward mobility among the gentry. Using a remarkable dataset on all known witch trials in early modern Scotland, including prosecutor information, trial details and individual properties of accused witches, I show that the persecution of witches was an unintended consequence of state making. Identity and interest rather than ideology explain prosecutors’ actions. Contrary to popular explanations and scholarly assumptions, my findings contradict the hypothesis that ecclesiastical actors drive witch-hunting. Minister biographies in selected parishes yield no evidence of zealousness – on the part of ministers – in witch-hunting. The data support the alternative theory that secular actors propelled ministers into witch trials at times when their position in a parish was weak. On the level of administrative units, witch-hunting is at the same time widely distributed over regions and extremely rare on the level of parishes. There are no theoretically meaningful patterns emerging on the parish, county and region level. I overcome limitations resulting from the use of administrative units to analyze geographical patterns by using social network analysis tools that allow actors’ actions to draw boundaries around locations. Employment of this strategy makes it evident that the core areas of witch-hunting are near the center of political power in Edinburgh. Witch trials were most numerous where they are visible to the gatekeepers of office careers. A small detail in the formal procedure of initiating witch trials made it possible for witch- hunting to serve as a strategy for gentry without prior access to jurisdiction to gather reputation at the political center. Therefore, persecution was not – as scholars of both witchcraft and statemaking have suggested – an attempt to control the population but a signal to people in power: Prosecutors used witch trials to communicate upstream rather than downstream. Witch-hunting is thus an unintended outcome of statemaking, Upward mobility created identities who fed on witch trials in their strive for influence within new opportunity structures.

    3 Die Materialität des Teufels und ihre Wir- kung auf Hexenverfolgung und Hexenprozeß in ausgewählten europäischen Ländern und in den neuenglischen Kolonien Kernpunkt vieler Hexenprozesse der frühen Neuzeit in Europa und in den neuenglischen Kolonien war die Frage nach der materiellen Existenz des Teu- fels und ihr Nachweis. Teufelspakt, Teufelsbuhlschaft und Hexenflug - alles Elemente des Volks- aberglaubens - waren für einen großen Teil der Hexenprozesse zentrale An- klagepunkte in den Gerichtsverfahren und trugen sowohl in Europa als auch in den neuenglischen Kolonien zu einer Intensivierung der Hexenverfolgung in der frühen Neuzeit bei. Martin Pott bezeichnet diese Elemente des Volksaberglaubens als „Penta- gramm des Hexenwahns“. Er sieht den Hexenglauben als ausgefeilte Theorie, deren Inhalte im Begriff des Teufelspaktes kulminieren.196 Seit Menschengedenken gehörte die Vorstellung einer den Menschen nicht immer freundlich gesinnten, real existenten Parallelwelt zum alltäglichen Le- ben. Einerseits war sie in vorchristlicher Zeit eine durchaus wertfreie Möglich- keit, unerklärliche Erlebnisse verständlich zu machen, andererseits diente sie später dem Christentum als spirituelles Gegengewicht zum göttlichen Wir- ken. Vor allem in kontinentaleuropäischen Ländern, wie zum Beispiel in Deutschland, gewann das Übernatürliche in der frühneuzeitlichen Hexen- verfolgung an Bedeutung. Die Verhandlung von Hexenanklagen vor Gericht mußte dieser Entwicklung Rechnung tragen. Zeugenaussagen und Geständ- nisse der Angeklagten, welche die Existenz des

In order, however, to obtain a clearer understanding of the ritual and beliefs I have had recourse to French and Flemish sources, as the cult appears to have been the same throughout Western Europe. The New England records are unfortunately not published in extenso; this is the more unfortunate as the extracts already given to the public occasionally throw light on some of the English practices.

  • Witches' Reel Gelie Duncan's Song 1591 Image
    Witches’ Reel Gelie Duncan’s Song 1591 Image: Newes from Scotland. Declaring the damnable Life of Doctor Fian a notable Sorcerer, who was burned at Edenbrough in Ianuarie last. 1591. Gellie Duncan was a servant of deputy bailiff of Tranant, North Berwick, David Seton, who is said to have had great capacities to help the sick. Seton became highly suspicious of the success of her cures and accused her of witchcraft, torturing her with the ‘pinniewinks’ (thumbscrews) and wrenching her head with a cord, but she would not confess. After further torture and interrogation in prison, she was found to have ‘the mark of the devil’ on her neck and was said to have confessed to witchcraft, naming many others. In May 1590 James VI had sailed to Leith with his newly wedded bride from Denmark during which the bridal boat was subjected to terrible winds whilst the rest of the fleet remained intact. This incidence was attributed to the witches who were accused of stirring up a storm on Halloween led by the devil, dancing and singing The Witches’ Reel in front of the Auld Kirk. The words of the reel were taken down in transcript in an Edinburgh court and Gellie was summonsed to sing it at Holyrood infront of the King before being sentenced and burned. Others included Agnes Simpson who was fastened to the wall with sharp iron prongs and deprived of sleep, John Fian, a learned schoolmaster was tortured with ‘bootikins’ (leg crushers) and the Earl of Bothwell – rival of King James VI – who was later tried in 1593 but found not guilty.

Studienblatt: Individuelles Diplomstudium Keltologie Betreuerin: Dr Lizanne Henderson BA (Guelph) MA (Memorial) PhD (Strathclyde) 1 Acknowledgements First of all, I want to thank all my lecturers in history who introduced me to the basic theories and methods of historiography, but also to those providing lessons for Celtic Studies who made me aware of the importance of looking beyond the boundaries of one’s own discipline. Their interdisciplinary approach of including archaeology, linguistics, literature studies, cultural studies, and anthropology among other disciplines into historical research has inspired me ever since. Regarding this current study, I specially want to thank Dr. Lizanne Henderson who not only introduced me into the basic theories of methods of studying witchcraft and the supernatural during my time as Erasmus-student at the University of Glasgow, but also guided me during the writing process of this dissertation. Furthermore, I would like to thank the University of Vienna for giving me the chance to study abroad as Erasmus-student and also for providing me with a scholarship so that I could do the literature research for this dissertation at the University of Glasgow library and the National Archives of Scotland. Also, I thank Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Melanie Malzahn for supporting me in acquiring this scholarship and helping me finding a viable topic for the dissertation, as well as Univ.-Doz.

Narendra 2 “Be ane great storme: it wes feared that the Queine wes in danger upone the seas,”1 read King James VI of Scotland in a letter from Lord Dingwal. 2 The festivities celebrating his recent marriage would have to wait, King James VI needed to ensure his new wife, Queen Anne, would arrive safely in Scotland. King James VI stayed at the Seton House, watching the sea every day for approximately seventeen days, but the Queen did not come. 3 The king would have to retrieve her himself. The sea threw the king’s boat back and forth and rendered him fully powerless against the waves. The King and Queen were lucky to have survived their journey, one of Queen Anne’s gentlewomen, Jean Kennedy, having drowned in the same storm.4 Upon returning to Scotland, King James VI immediately ordered all of the accused witches of the North Berwick witch hunt to be brought to him, believing that the witches caused the dangerous sailing conditions, intending to kill him.5 To protect himself, he tortured and executed witches, prosecuting them for both witchcraft and conspiring against the King.

  • Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence
    Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence EVAN HAEFELI ISCOVERING new documentation on such a well-studied event as the Salem witch trials is a rare thing. Even rarer Dis contemporary commentary on the trials. Jacob Melyen (i640-1706), a colonial merchant of Dutch origin living in Boston in the summer of 1692, has left us both in the eighty-eight letters copied into his letterbook now located at the American Antiquarian Society. Written mostly in Dutch and concerned pri- marily with his mercantile activity and events in New York, Melyen's letters add to our factual knowledge and illuminate just how troubled many colonists were about what was happening. To help imderstand the significance of the letters and explain why they even exist at all, this essay will outline their context through Melyen's life. It is an important story, joining together the histories of New Netherland, New England, and New York in ways colonial historians often overlook. While there is no evidence that Melyen had any direct involvement in the trials, his letters underscore the vital role New York politics played in this quin- tessentially New England drama.' Given the nature of Melyen's Eor their comments and suggestions on translation and interpretation the author would like to thank Willem Erijhoff, Charles Gehring, Mary Beth Norton, Caroline Sloat, Kevin Sweeney, David William Voorhees, and the anonymous reviewers for this journal. All errors and peculiarities, of course, remain his own. I. Jacob Melyen, Letterbook, 1691-1696, American Antiquarian Society.

Also involved in a 1651 plot attempt to restore Charles II to the throne, Robinson clearly thought that England had lost its way both politically and spiritually. The metaphysical ‘wandering away from God’ he witnessed was epitomized for Robinson by the rise of radical sectarian religion. ‘We have many Spiritual Vagrants’, Robinson said, ‘but we want a Spiritual House of Correction for the punishing of these Vagrants. There are many wandring stars in the Firmament of our Church at this time… there is a generation of Ranters, Seekers, Quakers, risen up among us.

  • A Trial of Witches
    A Trial of Witches In 1662, Amy Denny and Rose Cullender were hanged for the “crimes” of witchcraft, including causing the death of a child, overturning carts, bedevilling cattle, and lice infestations. A Trial of Witches is a study of this seventeenth-century witch trial, placing it in its social, cultural, and political contexts. Through an examination of the major participants in the case and their institutional importance in the early modern period (the presiding judge was Sir Matthew Hale, whose work is still cited in English case law, and the verifying doctor was the influential Sir Thomas Browne, author of Religio Medici), the authors critique the official process and detail how it led to its erroneous conclusions. The Lowestoft trial has even broader significance as it was cited as evidence thirty years later at the Salem trials, where many lost their lives. Through detailed discussion of primary sources, the authors explore the important implications of this case for the understanding of hysteria, group mentality and early modern social forces, and the witchcraft phenomenon as a whole.
