"This extraordinary line of very powerful women, who clearly ruled their own domestic terrain. Who occupied a high status position in the world because of the connection to the Dukes of Burgundy [what connection?? They were like 4th cousins, several times removed] and the witchcraft which they were clearly highly involved in. Jacquetta was put on trial for witchcraft and they produced evidence against her, two little figures bound together with gold wire. So I imagine she was, like a lot of women, doing a bit of herbalism, prayer, spells, magic." Philippa Gregory on Jacquetta of Luxembourg. Catherine Parr was also into herbalism and prayer...luckily she got away with it. Do you really think Jacquetta was involved in witchcraft?
