In the first two ordeals there is a way for the accused to come out alive if he is innocent but in the last ordeal had no definitive way to prove if the accused was innocent or guilty so the guilty could kill the accuser and come out free or the innocent could be wrongly killed
Different crimes had different forms of punishment such as thieves having their hands cut off and people who hunted illegally having their ears cut off
For most crimes people would have been hanged on a wooden pole and would left to rot for a few weeks and women would be strangled and then burnt

Everything in the Middle Ages was dependant on how important you were, including Houses. Peasants would usually build their own houses. They would be small, with a small garden, and Peasants didn’t usually have many possessions, so the houses didn’t need to be big. They were called cruck houses. The Rich would live in huge houses, with tiled floors and occasionally rooms on a second floor. They owned a lot and has tapestries on the wall and decorations all over the house.

In Medieval times, medical knowledge was scarce and diseases were common (especially among the peasents). As the population grew, hygienic conditions worsened. It was believed that smells and odours were the cause of disease, the people of the time were also extremely superstitious. Another theory was that illness was a punishment from god. They thought that meditation, prayers and pilgrimages would defeat their illnesses. Treatment for diseases were mainly available to the wealthy. There were more invasive treatments, one of which was 'trepanning'. This was when a surgeon cut a hole into the skull to release evil spirits. Suprisingly, research has shown that there were people who survived this procedure.

There were big differences in the homes of the rich and poor but most medieval homes were made out of wood. For security reasons, windows when they were present were very small openings with wooden shutters that were closed at night or in really bad weather.
