Summary

Witchcraft was severely repressed in Catalonia between 1614 and 1622, and this repression was carried out by local justice in the form of hundreds of executions. As from 1619, opposition to such proceeding is generated a debate within the Royal administration, the Inquisition and the Bishoprics that culminated with the reconsideration of all cases by the Royal Court and the dismissal of the proceedings.
