Now be fair, they employed the ducking stool - state of the art technology. The science said they were witches.
What? Unfair? Well so was causing Mrs Miggins cow to get a lame foot by looking at her funny. Now come here whilst i intimately body search you for signs of the devil..........
Seriously though, makes me glad i wasn't around as a lady at the time. For all the usual suspects, i suspect their were also people like extremely attractive ladies that wouldn't sleep with the neighbour / lord, etc, landladies that wouldn't give the regulars a couple on the house, etc, etc.
Plus, you have to remember, there were rewards offered and doled out for witches. Probably quite tempting at the time of debtors prisons and the like.

Another poster mentioned the Mallefircarem, I am sure that this texts pre-dates that one, given this manuscript is said to have been penned in 1460's and as far as I know, has no current translations.

If you had redhair you would be screwed as your a witch if you like it or not..
If you had red hair during the Spanish Inquisition, you were accused of having stolen the fires of hell, then quickly burned as a witch
During 16th and 17th century witch-hunts in England, many redheads were stripped to look for marks of a witch. Marks of a witch included moles, scares, or freckles. This made the lifespan for a redhead in England during this time very, very short.
Pretty crazy stuff ...

The original passage was "Suffer not a caster of curses to live".
