In the middle ages if you were suspected to be a witch they would tie a very heavy atleast 200 pound weight to her ankle. Then they threw her into a lake. If she was a witch she would float on the water and they would take her out and kill her. If she wasn't she would sink to the bottom. When that happened they would just leave her down there to die.

Physical punishment for God's forgiveness in medieval days?
During the Middle Ages, the pope issued a bull which banned the use of torture for getting confessions or punishment. To the best of my knowledge, it was never actually sanctioned prior to that time either. The idea of used of physical punishment to gain forgiveness might have arisen for the punishment of heretics and witches in the Late Middle Ages, and might have been accepted on a widespread basis as the Renaissance went into the witch hysteria, but that was mostly after the Middle Ages.

The new age of thinking after the Middle Ages' magic and mysticism?
I know most people would answer, claiming that the Renaissance was rational and the Middle Ages dedicated to superstition. My own view, after studying this for a while, is that the Middle Ages were considerably less superstitious than the Renaissance. The bad witch hunts happened after the Middle Ages ended, as did Church attempts to suppress science. The Renaissance was really no more prolific in production of new inventions or science than the Middle Ages. The Renaissance also saw a decline in the rights of women and lower classes. I have included a link below to an article on witch hunts, which illustrates the point pretty well, I think.
