Anglo-Saxon punishments varied widely and often reflected the severity of the crime. Common punishments included fines, known as "wergild," where offenders compensated victims or their families for harm caused. Other punishments could involve physical penalties, such as flogging or mutilation, and for serious crimes, execution methods like hanging or beheading were employed. Additionally, public humiliation, such as being placed in stocks or pillories, served as a deterrent to others.
