Why there were punishments.

by: Dominique Thach. 8A

This is about the brutal justice that happened in the medieval times and how crime offenders were punished, what laws there were and information about some of the many torturing devices used back in the medieval times.

during the time of the middle ages, punishment was always the solution to criminal offence. Some punishments were meant to shame the offenders other times, they were meant to cause great pain. Sometimes when the crime was really serious the punishment would be death. These punishments were used to force offenders to confess, or to make sure others would learn to not repeat the same mistakes.
