The inquisition burned six people alive from Zugarramurdi in Logroño
08 November 1610,
Six people from Zugarramurdi burned living inquisitions in Logroño and five died in prison and his images.
The Zugarramurdi process began in 1609, when a village woman told her she was a witch and started denouncing several citizens. They prosecuted 31 people from different villages. Thirteen of them died in prison as a result of plagues and dire living conditions, and thirteen were sentenced.
They were sentenced to six fires because they did not accept the accusations of witchcraft against them and burned the images of another five deaths.
The others were sentenced to imprisonment, exile or kidnapping of property.
In Euskal Herria, from the first executions of the documented inquisition (1329) to the last (1610), 200 and 323 people died, all "legally". Many more women died than men.
