has gloss | eng: Doruchów witch trial, was a witch trial which took place in the village of Doruchów in Poland in the 18th-century. It was one of the most famous witch trials in Poland, and it was to be the last mass trial of sorcery and witch craft in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The trial allegedly resulted in the execution of 14 women in 1775, and led to the ban on witch burning in Poland. In reality, the trial likely took place in 1783, with six victims instead of 14, having no actual effect on the law. |
