Codex: Trial By Ordeal | Kingdom Come Deliverance Wiki

Apart from resolution by municipal or territorial courts of justice, up to the 14th century it was common (though unofficial) in Bohemia to turn to God’s judgement, or trial by ordeal. Guilt or innocence was proved by appealing to God – He had to judge guilt or innocence. A typical ordeal was to be put to the test by fire, hot water, poison or duelling with the counterparty. The trial often ended in injury or even the death of the accused or the accuser.
