Medieval witches were not accused of much.
Witches were accused of all sorts of mischief, but that was during the Renaissance, not in medieval times. In medieval times, there were laws against witchcraft in some places, but the laws of the Carolingian Empire and the Kingdom of the Lombards both made it clear that belief in witchcraft was unacceptably superstitious and so prosecuting people as witches was illegal. And under the laws of King Athelstan, in Anglo saxon England, it was a capital crime to execute a person for witchcraft.
