Pain, Penance, and Protest

Peine Forte et Dure in Medieval England

Omschrijving

In medieval England, a defendant who refused to plead to a criminal indictment was sentenced to peine forte et dure – pressing with weights. Using this punishment as a lens, this book blurs the lines between law, religion, and literature to understand how it functioned within the medieval criminal justice system.
