Description
Eleanor doing penance for witchcraft', 1441, (1789). Eleanor Cobham (1400-1454), Duchess of Gloucester, was charged with unlawful commerce with Marjory Jourdemain, 'the Witch of Eye', and conspiring to bring about the death of King Henry VI (1421-1471) by magic. She submitted herself to the correction of the Church and did penance by walking without a hood, from Temple Bar to St Paul's Cathedral in London, carrying a lit taper, to offer it to the high altar. She was subsequently exiled to the Isle of Man, spending the rest of her life imprisoned in Peel Castle. Artist Anker Smith. (Photo by Print Collector/Getty Images)
