    Questioning the Crime of Witchcraft

    Definitions, Receptions and Realities (14th-16th Centuries)

    In the last decades, the multiplications of works in the field of Witchcraft Studies made it possible to profoundly renew the approaches and the study designs of the repression of witchcraft in the late Middle Ages and in the beginning of the Early Modern Era. Consequently, research has substantially specified the methods and configurations (ideological, political and doctrinal) that contribute to the genesis of the “witch-hunt”. Research also uncovered that the repression of witchcraft could take a number of different forms depending on the contexts, the spaces studied, the sources and the aims they seem to pursue. It underlines the extreme plasticity of the accusation of witchcraft and the categories of such a crime. Hence, the conference aims to focus the discussions on three main areas: the definition of the crime of witchcraft, its different receptions and the question of its reality.

    Practice of princely and royal grace. The issues and perspectives of a comparison

    La multiplication des travaux récents autour des pratiques de la grâce à la fin du Moyen Âge, en particulier sur les lettres de rémission, permet d’envisager l’approfondissement de comparaisons entre les actes de clémence royaux et ceux accordés par les princes qui, régulièrement semble-t-il, s’inspirent du modèle des souverains français. Il s’agit ici d’aborder les pratiques de grâces criminelles des rois de France et d’autres grands princes de la fin du Moyen Âge, tels que les ducs de Bourgogne et de Bretagne. Cette dimension comparative ne doit pas se limiter à la seule forme des documents mais aussi et surtout à leur fond. Parmi les aspects liés à la criminalité tardo-médiévale, plusieurs thèmes seront abordés tels que la violence des hommes de guerre, la place des femmes dans les lettres de rémission ou encore celle de la sorcellerie. Il s’agira ainsi de s’interroger sur la présentation de ces diverses caractéristiques selon les autorités accordant leur grâce, en s’intéressant également aux évolutions qu’elles connaissent du XIVe au XVIe siècle.
