In the fifteenth century, many people were tried and convicted of various crimes, often influenced by the social, political, and religious contexts of the time. Witch hunts became particularly prevalent, leading to numerous executions based on suspicion and fear rather than solid evidence. Trials often lacked fair legal representation, and punishments were severe, reflecting the era's harsh legal standards. This period marked a significant intersection of superstition and emerging legal practices that would evolve in subsequent centuries.
