Thomas Wright (ed.) A Contemporary Narrative of The Proceedings Against Dame Alice Kyteler Prosecuted for Sorcery in 1324
22 by 18cm., 8.8 by 7in. Printed for the Camden Society, London, 1842-3, pp.61 plus additional pages at the back. In original dark green blind-stamped upper and lower covers. Gilt-stamped and titled a... at spine. Also with laid in newspaper clippings referencing the Trial of the Dame. Dame Alice Kyteler (b. 1280), was born in Kyteler's House, Kilkenny, Ireland, the only child of a Norman family. She was married four times, to William Outlawe, Adam le Blund, Richard de Valle and, finally, Sir John le Poer who suspected he was being poisoned. On his death, the children of her four husbands accused her of using poison and sorcery against their fathers and of favouring her first-born son William Outlawe. In addition, she and her followers were accused of denying the faith, sacrificing animals to demons and blasphemy. The case was brought in 1324 before the then Bishop of Ossory, Richard de Ledrede, an English Franciscan friar.. In 1325, on the night before she was to be burned at the stake, she escaped, presumably to England and there is no record of her since more
