Ordered by trial judges to document the proceedings, Potts created one of the best-recorded witch trials of the seventeenth century. Twenty men and women faced accusations of witchcraft, with eleven condemned to hang. The account reveals a legal system carefully shaping its own narrative, potentially manipulating records to advance careers and display judicial efficiency during a politically charged era.
