Matthew Hopkins (1620 - August 12, 1647) was an English witchhunter. He claimed to hold the office of Witchfinder General, although that title was never bestowed by Parliament. His witch-finding career began in March 1644 and lasted until his retirement in 1647. Hopkins is believed to have been responsible for the deaths of 300 women. He died in 1647, probably of pleural tuberculosis, at the age of 27. No artist credited.
