	Lancre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lancre (pronounced Lanker) is a fictional country from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
		Lancre is based mainly on the North of England (as in Lanc(ashi)re), but is reminiscent of many rural areas in Britain and elsewhere.
		Lancre is famous for witches, especially since the publication of The Joye of Snacks (an erotic cookbook) by "A Lancre Witch" (Nanny Ogg).

	Verence II of Lancre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Verence II of Lancre is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
		It is assumed that this means he is the son of the elder Fool's wife and Verence I (who was fond of exercising his droit de seigneur), and he is duly crowned Verence II.
		Verence II is a very well-meaning king, who takes running a kingdom very seriously (he takes most things seriously, having learnt at a very early age that being a Fool was no laughing matter), but things seldom turn out the way he might want.

	Inquisitor - Pierre De Lancre
		A partir de ce moment les juges ecclésiastiques et laïques se mirent à la triste besogne, les bûchers s'allumèrent pour purger le royaume des serviteurs de Satan, l'histoire ouvrait ses portes à l'abomination incarnée en un seul homme : Pierre de Lancre.
		En le choisissant pour mettre de l'ordre dans le pays de Labourd, on savait qu'il était particulièrement renseigné sur le surnaturel et le merveilleux, durant ses études on lui avait révélé la puissance du démon en lui montrant chez un apothicaire une jeune fille possédée par le malin.
		Les monitoires sont des mises en demeure, publiées dans les églises, pour enjoindre sous les peines ecclésiastiques, à quiconque pouvait fournir quelques renseignements intéressants les poursuites contre les sorciers de porter dénonciateur.

	Terry Pratchett - Carpe Jugulum excerpt
		It was also said, although not by the people who lived in Lancre, that below the rim, where the seas thundered continuously over the edge, their home went through space on the back of four huge elephants that in turn stood on the shell of a turtle that was as big as the world.
		There were never very many.[4] Lancre operated on the feudal system, which was to say, everyone feuded all the time and handed on the fight to their descendants.
		A few other people in Lancre kept hawks and reckoned he was one of the best trainers in the mountains, possibly because he was so single-minded about it.

	Heroes of the Gem - Lancre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A late comer to the Heroes, Brother Lancre was appointed to proceed on the Quest of the Gem for largely political reasons, at the insistance of the Church of Mordant.
		When Lancre was given rulership of one of the five Cantons of Slumber, he quickly established a haven for fellow Mordants to come and practice their religion, and Mordants did indeed come from far and wide, even as far as Lochnirr on the Isle of Onlor.
		Although Lancre cannot claim title to Highest Brother of the Church of Mordant, he is certainly one of the more accomplished and respected Brothers and his deeds on the Quest of the Gem merely add to his stature.

	Lancre - Iridis Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Lancre is a fictional country from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
		Most people, himself included, believe he is the son of Verence I. The capital "city" of Lancre is Lancre Town, by dint of being slightly bigger than the other villages, and containing Lancre Castle.
		Much like the Unseen University Library, all the magic in the kingdom has warped space, leading to some areas containing more land than there's any room for (this is known as "gnarly ground").

	Buber's Basque Page: Basque Mythology: Witchcraft
		The massacres carried out by P. of Lancre and the Auto de Fe of Logroño constitute the finishing touch to the lower medieval(???) cycle of repression of the magic arts as much for the civil justice as for the Inquisition.
		In the subsequent evolution of the judgement of the practice of witchcraft, capital importance was given, according to that revealed by J. Caro Baroja in diverse investigations, to the actions of one of the three inquisitors of the Court of Logroño during the Auto of 1610.
		Caro Baroja brings to light the case of the faith healer Francisca Ignacia de Sorondo, who, in 1826, caused the City Hall of Fuenterrabía to extend to her a certification that guaranteed that she was not a witch.

	Damned Art
		Alphonsus de Spina, a Spanish Franciscan who was a convert from Judaism, became confessor to King John of Castille, director of studies of the Friars Minor at Salamanca, and was created Bishop of Thermopylae in 1491.
		Pierre de Lancre (1553-1631) sent by Henry IV of France to investigate witchcraft in the Pays de Labourd, a Basque-speaking region in Southwest France, concluded that of the 30,000 inhabitants very few families, including most of the priests, were untouched by sorcery.
		Pierre de Lancre, for example, observed that it was in the cauldron that the witches prepared every sort of poison for hurting or killing men and marring cattle.

		But many years ago, she was a headstrong young girl who was offered power by a mysterious woman in red who stood in the center of a stone circle and couldn't leave it.
		As is the case with many Pratchett books, there are multiple plots that all center around the Elves and their newest attempt to gain the Discworld as their own world.
		Something needs to be said here about the three witches of Lancre, recurring characters in all the Granny Weatherwax books, and such integral figures that I should really refer to them as the Witches books.

		Perhaps Lancre was not the best place to attempt to map; the result is certainly disappointing, especially when compared to the other two Discworld Mapps.
		The main problem is that as Lancre consists almost entirely of mountains, there is nothing to put on the map.
		With a glorious map of Lancre including the now famous Rock and Hard Place, and the Place Where the Sun Does Not Shine, this guide gives you a unique insight not only into the Disc's Right to Roam concepts, but also lets you see right into the kingdom through the eyes of Gytha Ogg.

		She deals effectively with a coven of teen-aged witch wannabes, but doesn't count on the vagaries of sheer chance when a group of "rude mechanicals" go up to the Dancers to practice a play.
		Pratchett's elves are nasty critters, and he doesn't mind saying so, but his point of view is supported by the folklore which indicates that elves consider human beings as a kind of animal made available for their amusement.
		There is a thread of horror running through the description of the elvish rampage through Lancre, and this element lends weight to the story, preventing it from dissolving into fluff.

		The castle leaned vertiginously over the racing white water of the Lancre river which boomed darkly a thousand feet below.
