The Dark Secrets of Ancient Trials!

We examine how the fear of heresy morphed into the great witch hunts, fueled by books like the Malleus Maleficarum, and how the pyre became the ultimate tool for erasing any threat—real or perceived—to the established order. Finally, we witness how the light of the Enlightenment extinguished the flames, leaving behind a chilling warning about the terrifying marriage of absolute power and absolute righteousness, and the belief that an idea can be killed by burning the person who holds it.
