Katarzyna Paprocka
Katarzyna Paprocka (died 1638) was a Polish woman who was accused of sorcery.
She was prosecuted for witchcraft in Bydgoszcz, accused of having caused the death of her first spouse in order to marry her second. She died in prison before she could be executed.
The case against her was subject of the novel Czarownice z Pomorza i Kujawy by Anna Koprowska-Głowacka.
