- Abstract
This article discusses the history and use of trials by ordeal between the 4th and 7th centuries. The author comments on the development of such trials by the Roman Empire and Germanic Kingdoms at the time and describes their relationship with the judicial system, or lack thereof in the case of the Roman Empire. He also considers the use of the results of the trial by ordeal as evidence and as a means of solving a given dispute. The religious connotations and implications of these trials is also examined.
