Talk:Witches of Belvoir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An entry from Witches of Belvoir appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 21 January 2007.

[edit] Pronunciation

Belvoir is pronounced beaver. I have made this edit once and had it reverted by someone who claimed it to be vandalism. I grew up in Leicestershire, and as any person from that county will tell you, Belvoir is pronounced beaver. Check out the Belvoir Castle page - or Google it if you don't beleive me. 81.151.231.225 22:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How many?

The lead states there were three witches and gives their names, but the next paragraph said other women were accused and found to have "consorted with spirits", and it is three of these other women who are in the picture. Were they not also witches of Belvoir? How many were there in total? Seems contradictory.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 03:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How many?

There were three Flowers who worked at the Castle and three other women who did not. Anne Baker, Ellen Greene and Joan Willimot. The woodcut is probably generic. 124.184.164.154 02:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
