Notes |
- Sarah was accused of witchcraft and put in prison but later let go. She pressed charges and was given three sovereigns, one for each of the three sisters accused.) A movie was made about these trials, called "THREE SOVERIGNS FOR SARAH".
Another story says she escaped from prison before she could be hanged.
