Barbara Królka

[citation needed] She was accused of having cast a spell upon Wacław Jeziorkowski and his family.

Królka was also blamed for having caused by magic the plague which took place almost fifty years earlier in 1624.

She was also credited with enchanting of King Zygmunt August and causing the deaths of queens Elżbieta Habsburżanka (1545) and Barbara Radziwiłłówna (1551).

[2] She was judged guilty as charged by the local mayor of Wizna and executed by burning.

A reenactment of Królka's execution is held in Kiermusy annually on the second Sunday of September.
