"Summer 1590 Witchhunt in Denmark In the summer of 1590 a great witch hunt was instituted in Copenhagen. One of the first victims was Anna Koldings, who under pressure divulged the names of five other women, one of whom was Mail the wife of the burgomaster of Copenhagen. They all confessed that they had been guilty of sorcery in raising storms which menaced Queen Anne's voyage and that they had sent devils to climb up the keel of her ship. In September two women were burnt as witches at Kronborg. (Williams p.38)
23 July 1590 News of witches arrested in Denmark; arrests in Edinburgh
"It is advertised from Denmark, that the admirall there hathe caused five or six witches to be taken in Coupnahaven, upon suspicion that by their witche craft they had staied the Queen of Scottes voiage into Scotland, and sought to have staied likewise the King's retorne." "Sundrie witches were arreigned yesterdaie in this towne, and are found giltie of odious crimes; chefelie that some of them made in wax the image of the yong lard of Wardlhouse, and rosting the image the gentleman pined awaie by sweate as the wax melteth before the fier." (Bowes to Burghley 454)"
That is why some 3000 sites have been hacked in Denmark.
