Criminal Middle Ages

Ekaterina Mishanenko is a historian and re-enactor, a researcher of medieval life and morals, and the author of popular science books about the Middle Ages. The facts and fictions about this amazing era are so intertwined that it is almost... impossible to separate them from each other at times.
In her new book "Criminal Middle Ages," the author will tell about the most high-profile criminal cases, the investigation process, and the fates of lawbreakers, many of whom were quite unusual people.

Did the Inquisition burn witches? Did many survive after God's judgment? Is it true that rapists had their genitals cut off, and talkative women were tied to chairs and submerged headfirst in rivers? Did Vikings pay off for committing murder? What did the court do with unmarried pregnant girls? Could a knight really kill any commoner with impunity? All of this is covered in the new book of the series "History and Science in Detail."
