Can you be told to take a plea bargain or you will get the death penalty?

Not exactly. A prosecutor might offer a plea bargain in exchange for not seeking the death penalty on conviction. This is not unusual. If the prosecutor can persuade the defendant to plead guilty, he or she saves the state the cost of a murder trial (the only offense likely to result in the death penalty), which can run into the millions. If the prosecutor says, "take this plea bargain or you will get the death penalty," he or she is assuming they can convict you, which is never a sure thing.

What is the penalty for obstruction first offense?

"Obstructing an officer" is pretty nebulous. If you're being really obstructive, you might be charged with "accessory after the fact" or something, which in some jurisdictions means that the entire range of sentencing for the crime itself, up to and including the death penalty, is on the table (US Federal law limits this to a prison term of up to 15 years for cases where the crime itself carries the death penalty).

If a nobleman put out the eye of another nobleman, the penalty might involve monetary compensation, public humiliation, or possibly a duel to settle the dispute. On the other hand, if a nobleman put out the eye of a commoner, the penalty might be stricter and could involve harsh physical punishment, such as mutilation or even death. The social status of the victim played a significant role in determining the severity of the punishment in such cases.
