Crimes and Punishments:
Treason - Those found guily of Treason shall be Hanged,Drawn and Quartered.
Suicide - Those who commit Suicide shall be buried in a field,in an unmarked grave,with a stake rammed through their hearts.
Theft - Anyone found guilty of theft will be severely punished.Depending on how serious the theft,the punishment will vary.
Rogues and vagabonds shall often be stocked and whipped; scolds are ducked upon cucking-stools in the water. Such felons as stand mute, and speak not at their arraignment, are pressed to death by huge weights laid upon a board, that lie over their chest, and a sharp stone under their backs; and these commonly held their peace, thereby to save their goods unto their wives and children, which, if they were condemned, should be confiscated to the people.
Rape - Those found guilty of rape shall be burned at the stake in front of the townspeople.Doused with oil,they will burn until they are nothing but bone.
