1/5 The Storm That Made a King Fear Witches | King James VI

Описание: A violent storm at sea changed the course of history.
When James VI and I attempted to bring his new bride Anne of Denmark to Scotland, the royal ships were struck by terrifying storms that nearly cost them their lives.
But to the king, this was no natural event.
Convinced that dark forces were at work, James began to believe that witches had conspired with the Devil to destroy him. That belief would soon lead to one of the most infamous witchcraft investigations in Scottish history — the North Berwick Witch Trials.
In this first episode of the series, we explore the storm that sparked the king’s fear of witchcraft and set the stage for a royal obsession with the supernatural.
This is where the story begins.
