Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Ekaterina Mishanenkova is a historian and reconstructor, a researcher of medieval life and customs, and the author of popular science books about the Middle Ages. Facts and fiction about this amazing era are so intertwined that sometimes it is almost impossible to separate them.
In her new book "Criminal Middle Ages," the author will tell about the most high-profile criminal cases, the process of investigation and the fate 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 a chair and submerged headfirst in a river? Did Vikings pay for committed 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 series "History and Science in Detail."
