The Laws
They would do things people could not imagine. They did things to try to prove to guilty or not everything had a consequences. The big thing in the middle ages where the witch trials. Some of the things they would do is make you hold a hot iron rod then bandage it up, wait a few weeks and if there hand did not heal they were guilty and if it heald they were not guilty. The small things made people think that they were crazy or a witch, and of course there were rewards of everything.Some people went crazy with the laws or the witch trials. the laws and customs they had were what they thought or believed in. the laws changed overtime when the new popes and rulers came in, but not much changed until, people started to realize that this was taking more lives than they were saving.The laws they had were cultural but thats what they believed in and back then is was not a free country, so they had to go by the laws like we have to today.
