A woman from Waltham in the county of Essex, Lowe is married to a yeoman named John. Elizabeth Lowe is indicted for allegedly bewitching Robert Wodley, John Wodley, and John Canell. Lowe pleads not guilty on all three counts, but is found guilty on all counts. She then pleads pregnancy. Lowe is supposedly the first person to ever be indicted by the 'Act agaynst conjuracions Inchantments and Witchcraftes.' Her case was brought forth less than a year after the act was passed by the Elizabethan government. While Lowe's contained a few unusual details for the time, her case was nevertheless not very rare. On one occasion, she allegedly bewitched her husband making him lame, which is not unheard of for the period. Elizabeth Lowe's case does provide something that others seem to be unable to, however. Lowe's case is recorded in detail and, on top of being the first one indicted under the 'Act agaynst conjuracions Inchantments and Witchcraftes,' her case can be clearly read as an example of how and why witches were persecuted to calm social anxieties. Alan R. Young's article forwards this view, arguing that Lowe's case provided villagers with an easily identifiable source of anxieties they could hardly articulate. An excerpt is included with this entry. (http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/result_details.asp?DocID=331635)
