Criminology: Intellectual History - The Middle Ages - Crime, Law, God, Natural, People, and Ordeal - JRank Articles: "Trial by ordeal was condemned by the pope in 1215 and was replaced by compurgation, in which the accused gathered together a group of twelve reputable people who would swear that he or she was innocent. The idea was that no one would lie under oath for fear of being punished by God. Compurgation ultimately evolved into testimony under oath and trial by jury."
