Law was very harsh in medieval England. Those that were involved in law thought that everyone would behave if they realized the severe consequence that would happen if they broke the law. There was a law for even the smallest offences. When Henry II came around law became more evolved. From London judges came in to listen to cases all across England. There was an ordeal that everyone had to go to decide whether they were guilty or not. In 1215, the Pope decided that priests in England must not help with ordeals. As a result, ordeals were replaced by trials by juries. Juries were not popular when they first started people were scared that neighbor friends, and families would have a grudge against them and use trial against them to get revenge. After in 1275 everyone who refused to be in trial in front of a jury would be tortured.
