Sure, a few witch trials during this period, but most witch trials took place between the 15th and 17th centuries. The time of the greatest hunts and violent trials was between 1570 and 1630, marking the decline of the Renaissance.

Among the European countries, the fiercest battles with "witchcraft" were fought in the German countries.
