He believes strongly in his mentor and his mission but loses faith when he catches Cumberland strangling his predecessor to death for calling him impotent. Meruh begins to see for himself that the witch trials are a scam to rob people of their land, money, and other personal belongings of value and seduce beautiful women. Eventually, the townspeople revolt, and Cumberland escapes but Meruh is captured by the townspeople. | |

Egocentrically Religious: Lord Cumberland hides behind a shallow facade of piety to justify his atrocities. | |

Burn the Witch! | |
| Mark of the Devil / int_352def2a | comment |
Burn the Witch!: Used straight — and to hideously appropriate effect. Within the film, several "witches" (all clearly innocent) are slowly burnt alive. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Mark of the Devil / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The intro makes the exaggerated claim that more than eight million people were tried and executed as witches during the time period in which the story takes place. The official consensus places the death toll at somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000. | |
