Allison Balfour, who was tortured; forced to watch her husband, son, and daughter be tortured; confessed; and then retracted her confession and shared what had been done to her and her family at her execution - I feel your determination and you deserved better

Euphame MacCalzean, a woman who inherited her family's extensive property, whose husband took her last name, and who had it all taken away after she was convincted as a witch and burned for supposedly causing rough seas while King James was traveling - you're a queen and I'll remember you
