16 March 1540,
The Inquisition publicly tried in Pamplona 69 ochagaves accusing them of “witchcraft”. They applied penance to a multitudinous act called the autofede. Despite being charged with virgins, crimes such as witchcraft, apostasy, or idolatry, most could escape the death penalty, except for Gabriel del Monte Mayor, executed by Jewish quarter. In Euskal Herria, from the first execution of the documented inquisition (1329) to the last (1610), between 200 and 323 people were killed "by law". Most of the deaths were women.
