  • Die Sagerin (Ger: the (female) sayer) (died December 1573) was an alleged Swiss witch. Her real name was Eva Roller, but she is known in history under her nickname. She lived in the canton of Luzern in Switzerland. Eva had been accused of sorcery in 1568, but was freed from the charges. In the second trial against her five years later, her accusers were her husband and her three daughters from an earlier marriage. She had a long reputation of sorcery. Her family claimed that she could turn herself into a crow, hide herself in the ground in the shape of a mouse and walk through locked doors, that she was cold during intercourse and had blue marks on her chest. A rancher accused her of hurting his cattle after she had been acquitted in the first trial, several claimed to have seen her on nights with the moon up in white clothes, after which the weather had turned bad, and her husband said that she had told him that she was a witch but would never admit it. She never admitted guilt, despite interrogation under torture: she begged her torturers to kill her, or give her the opportunity to kill herself, she begged to be drowned instead of being burned alive. She died in prison of unknown causes, claimed to be some kind of sickness, and her corpse was burned publicly in December 1573. (en)
  • Eva Roller, känd som Die Sagerin, född okänt år, död 1573, var en schweizisk kvinna som var föremål för ett känt fall av häxeri. Eva Roller var bosatt i Luzern. Hon åtalades en första gång 1568, och ännu en gång 1573. Hon åtalades anklagad för att ha förvandlat sig till en mus och en ko, för att ha skadat tamdjur och för att ha påverkat vädret. Hennes familj vittnade mot henne och hennes make menade att hon för honom hade bekänt att hon var häxa. Hon utsattes för upprepad tortyr, men vägrade medge någon skuld. Hon bad om att få avrättas genom att dränkas snarare än att brännas levande. Hon avled i fängelset före avrättningen. Hennes fall var känt i samtiden och hänvisades till som precedensfall av bland annat Själamodern i Küssnacht. (sv)
