TRIAL BY ORDEAL • Trial by ordeal is a judicial practice by which the guilt or innocence of the accused is determined by subjecting them to an unpleasant, usually dangerous experience.

PUBLIC HANGING • The king used public hanging to scare the community into being law abiding citizens. The laws were much harsher than now because the prison system wasn’t around back then so they had no choice other than killing them or torturing them.
