Most of these trials were unwinnable. How did they choose a judge to even determine what the trial or the punishment was to be? The priest? God help the person with no status in those days.<br />THE DARK MAIDEN was a wonderful story. I really enjoyed reading it.<br />All good things... Sarah J.

It was ancient book, and they just released it for use. I lost my copy in the house fire and cannot recall the name. They showed one type where a hole was dug, and the man stood half in the whole, while the woman had full range freedom.
