Asked by Mohammad

I'm learning abt punishment and crime that happened in England and how persons had to undergo ordeals by trials. Question I'm having trouble with is why people and whole village in general had to come as first finders and be in mercy when they didn't observe finding body?

And what were ideologies of this society that contributed to need of such a duty ?

What does "first finders" mean?

There were some truly horrendous punishments in those days. Did you ever watch the movie <i>Braveheart</i>?
