Skeptics in the Pub

A history of Margery Jourdemayne, who was burned alive at Smithfield.

The Miller

In 1441, Margery Jourdemayne was burned alive at Smithfield. She was a
 commoner cunning-woman - or witch - yet her social group contained the
 highest in the land. Join us as we put aside our expectations to uncover
 the politics, religion, social classes, law and context of Margery&#x27;s fifteenth century life and death.Deborah Hyde is former editor of The Skeptic and is a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. She writes and lectures about belief in the malign supernatural, with special regard to the folklore, psychology and sociology behind belief.
