Matthew Hopkins, known as the "Witchfinder General" during the English Civil War, was reported to have earned about £40 for each witch he condemned to be hanged. This compensation was partly due to the fees he received from the local authorities for his services in identifying and prosecuting alleged witches. His activities contributed to the execution of many individuals, often under dubious circumstances, and his pursuit of witchcraft became infamous in English history.
