Anna Muggen lived in Gorinchem and was married to a man who died during the Eighty Year's War.
The shoemaker reported her to the authorities for sorcery because of her curse, and she was arrested and put on trial.
The trial was very swift, as Anna Muggen reportedly freely admitted her guilt.
She was sentenced guilty as charged to be executed with strangulation on 29 May 1608, after which her body was burnt at the stake and then buried outside the city walls.
The last person to be judged guilty of witchcraft in the Netherlands, Aagt Germonts was given their sentence in 1660, however, but was punished with pillorying rather than death.
