Elizabethan Witchcraft, Sorcery, and a Very Troubled Marriage
An extraordinary court that ruled from the late-medieval age to the English Civil War, Star Chamber was one of Europe’s earliest courts overseeing a broad range of disputes, from marriage, to fraud and libel. Now housed at the National Archives, the surviving records can tell us much about early-modern life and changing social attitudes.
The Court of Star Chamber offers remarkable glimpses into early-modern law and everyday life. Given the wide, wide range of wrongs the court was thought competent to address, and given that it used written depositions (unlike oral pleadings of common law courts), we can find in its archive an unusual richness of detail, on subjects of all sorts.
One example involves witches, but of the relatively rare male variety, invoking the complications of early modern ‘divorce’.
In 1593, Henry Dawber brought to Star Chamber a complaint on behalf of Anne Roughley of Sutton, Lancashire, whom he described as a cousin. Anne could not bring the complaint herself, as it focused on Richard Roughley — a man who was still, legally, her husband (and married women couldn’t launch cases without their husbands), though it’s clear that Richard no longer considered himself married to Anne. Anne’s complaint? That Richard had hired a local cunning man to have her and her pregnancy terminated. Having no respect for the Queen’s laws against ‘unlawful sorsaryes, witchcrafts, and inchantments’, nor any respect for ‘the natural society, love, and godly fellowship that ought to be had, continued, and used between man and wife’, but seduced by a wicked spirit that had possessed him, Richard had written to one Roger Barnes for (what Anne described as) help in killing the spouse from whom he’d separated.
The bill of complaint described Barnes as an ‘inchanter, witch, or charmer and great practiser in the black arts’. It contained what it claimed to be the text of a letter from Richard Roughley to Roger Barnes in which Roughley asked whether Anne was pregnant and when she would die. Richard also wanted to know how long he would need to wait before he could marry someone he called ‘Miss Jane’. Strictly speaking, the letter did not actually ask that Barnes kill Anne. But according to Anne, not long after he wrote it, her estranged and angry spouse said to her that she or her child or both of them would soon be dead, ‘or otherwise he the said Richard Roughley would never more trust witches nor wise men.’ And not long after that, Anne did deliver her baby: stillborn. She had been near death herself, and continued in fear of her life, she said; she maintained that Richard now sought to supplement the sorcery with attempts to force her out of the country, to ‘carry her forth of your majesty’s dominions.’
Richard’s demurrer maintained that Anne was his ‘late wife…long since sequestered and divorced from the said Richard Roughley for many and apparent adulteries.’ He described Henry Dawber, who filed the suit on her behalf, as naught but ‘a poor serving man, and nothing akin or allied to Anne’, a man of little means and less credit amongst his neighbours. Dawber acted, Richard said, merely at the instigation of one of Anne’s lovers. Richard denied the accusations, of course. He also maintained that everything in the complaint save for the death of the child was covered by the most recent general pardon; as for the charge of death by means of witchcraft, that must be tried in a common law court, he said, not in Star Chamber.
So, what happened? Notoriously, the formal records of Star Chamber judgements disappeared after the court was abolished in 1641. But a manuscript now in the British Library records the opinions of common law judges on some of the cases brought before Star Chamber. The two chief justices sat on the court anyway; they and the other common law justices were often asked to clarify points of law, including whether a case ought to be tried in Star Chamber or elsewhere. In this case, Justice Fenner side-stepped the question of whether Dawber had any standing to file the bill on behalf of Anne (‘sometimes wife of the defendant, now divorced’), but he grudgingly agreed with Richard Roughley’s other points: Roughley’s actions were either covered by the last pardon or not determinable in Star Chamber, even though the justice thought them ‘very lewd and devilish’. The case came to an abrupt end; if Anne was to get help in her battle with her estranged husband, it would need to come from another quarter. Star Chamber’s remit was broad, but not so broad as Anne- unfortunately- required.

His eyes had flicked, then, over to the brand-new bottle of extra virgin olive oil that was now nearly empty, as I enumerated the medicinal benefits of this old herbal remedy (and all this from a tree in our backyard!). Twenty-four years together means I could hear the abacus in his brain clicking, as he wordlessly calculated the cost per milliliter of a gallon jar of plant matter masticating in top-shelf olive oil, against the cost per unit of a bottle of generic aspirin tables, overlaid with the probability of me losing interest in this project.

I was really disappointed with "Magic Battle Royale". The concept seemed interesting, but the execution was just terrible. The graphics were outdated and the game had tons of bugs and glitches. The gameplay was repetitive and lacked depth. There were also pay-to-win elements, which made it unfair for players who didn't want to spend real money. Overall, I found the game to be unenjoyable and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Michelle - ★★☆☆☆
I had high expectations for "Magic Battle Royale" but unfortunately, it failed to meet them. The controls were clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to navigate and engage in battles. The matchmaking system was also flawed, often pairing me with players far above my skill level. The lack of variety in game modes and maps made the experience repetitive and quickly became boring. Additionally, the game was filled with microtransactions, which felt like a constant money grab. Overall, "Magic Battle Royale" lacked polish and depth, making it a forgettable experience for me.
3. Alex - ★★☆☆☆
"Magic Battle Royale" had a lot of potential, but it fell short. The character customization options were limited, and the progression system was slow and grindy. The game also lacked balance, with certain characters and abilities being overpowered. The community was toxic, with many players resorting to cheating and exploiting glitches. The lack of regular updates and improvements from the developers only added to the disappointment. Ultimately, "Magic Battle Royale" failed to keep me engaged and I ended up uninstalling it after a few weeks.
