Barbara Królka

Barbara Królka (died 1664 or 1670 ), was a Polish woman accused of being a witch. Her case was among the more famed of Polish witch trials.

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).

In 2016, an exhibition of torture instruments and devices was opened in Kiermusy. The exhibition was inspired by the story of Królka's life and death.
