Strangely in our eyes, punishment in those day mostly consisted of paying a large fine to the victim or - if he had been killed - to the family of the injured party. If a serious crime was considered to be against the public peace, banishment or the death penalty could be the result. Crimes such as treason were always punished by death. Persons of high birth had the privilege of being beheaded, lesser people were hanged.
Prison was only a place to keep a criminal until he was convicted. Long prison sentences are a thing of a much later age.
