| Abstract | The medieval world had a variety of ways of dealing with crime, sorcery, and other instances of breaking society's rules. Few of them were pleasant in any way. Indeed, many of these responses were embarrassing or painful for those being punished, and quite a few involved outright torture or even death. |
