Back to EpisodesA Pig on Trial (A Dash of Info)
Description
In 1386, in a small medieval town, a pig stood trial for murder.
This wasn’t folklore or superstition—it was a real courtroom, with real legal procedures, witnesses, and even a defense lawyer. In a world where law, religion, and daily survival were deeply intertwined, justice wasn’t just for humans. It was a public act meant to restore order in a fragile and unpredictable world.
In this episode, we step into the cold stone courts of medieval Europe to explore one of history’s most unusual legal practices: the trial of animals. What seems bizarre today once made perfect sense—and reveals a deeper truth about how people understood responsibility, morality, and control in a time before modern science.
Because sometimes, the strangest stories tell us the most about how people once saw the world.
