Thesis:
The Trier Witch Trials of the 16th century occurred because of the over-zealous attacks on outsider groups by Archbishop Shonenberg in the hopes of gaining wealth, power and recognition from the Catholic church which was at the time in the process of a counter reformation to strengthen the faith and root out heretics. The large number of other witch trials occurring in Europe at the time as well as depopulation brought on by the plague and famine all led to the targeting of midwives who possessed knowledge of birth control which the church and government were attempting to eradicate. As a result of the Trier Witch Trials and others like them, hundreds of people were executed, the majority of them women. Witch hunts also succeeded in criminalizing birth control throughout much of Europe and contributed to a population explosion in early modern Europe.
