HISTORY SHORTS: Trials by Ordeal
Trials by ordeal were a method of judgment and punishment used in the Middle Ages, primarily to determine guilt or innocence in the absence of conclusive evidence. These ordeals were based on the belief that divine intervention would reveal the truth by protecting the innocent or exposing the guilty.
