Interesting fact:

The infamous witch persecutions in Hochstift Fulda claimed a total 250 victims, including Merga Bien, a woman married three times and the heiress of her first two husbands. Merga was arrested, thrown in jail, and tortured despite her husband’s best protests. After 14 weeks of detention in dog cages, she gave in to forced confessions and had to share the same unpleasant fate as her mother and sister before her—burning at the stake.
