Pain, Penance, and Protest

Beschreibung

In medieval England, a defendant who refused to plead to a criminal indictment was sentenced to peine forte et dure â 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.
