Witchcraft, Storms, and a Marriage

The Marriage of James VI and Anne of Denmark

 

A royal wedding… a stormy sea… and a witch hunt that would echo through history.

 

When Anne of Denmark tried to sail to Scotland to join her new husband, King James VI, disaster struck. Fierce storms battered her fleet, whispers of witchcraft spread like wildfire, and before long, women were being accused, tortured, and executed.

 

Was it just bad weather? Or was something more sinister at play?

 

In this podcast, we explore the strange and stormy beginnings of James and Anne’s marriage, the Copenhagen Witch Trials, and how this fateful voyage may have sparked one of the most notorious witch-hunting obsessions in royal history.

 

Join me as we untangle the myths, the accusations, and the real history behind it all.

 

Let me know your thoughts in the comments—were the storms just a twist of fate, or did they set the stage for a darker chapter in James VI’s reign?
