In the 17th century, Iceland experienced a wave of witch hunts that targeted mostly men, unlike the rest of Europe. This episode explores the case of Jón Rögnvaldsson, a farmer from the Westfjords who was burned at the stake in 1654 for supposedly using magic to steal fish. We delve into the unique Icelandic context: the influence of Lutheran orthodoxy, the role of the Althing, and the famous grimoire known as the 'Galdrabók'. Lucas and Luna discuss how the hunts were fueled by economic hardship and personal vendettas, and why Iceland's witchcraft trials ended relatively quickly compared to the continent. They also touch on the legacy of the hunts in Icelandic folklore and the recent rehabilitation of some of the accused. #IcelandicHistory #WitchHunts #JónRögnvaldsson #Galdrabók #Brennuöld #Alþingi #Lögberg #Westfjords #LutheranOrthodoxy #17thCentury #Magic #NorseFolklore #History #FexingoHistory #NorthernEurope #Iceland #Superstition #WitchTrials Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
