Crimes & Punishments

Corporal sentences were typically passed for lesser offences and misdemeanours not usually warranting execution, and were punished by restitution to victims, public humiliation (typically in the stocks or more inventive shaming for cheating artisans), lashes and occasionally branding or mutilation or most commonly by fines and other financial penalties.

Capital sentences were serious felonies carrying the death penalty. Fines might rarely be made as an alternative for favourites of the ruler.
