  • description: Medieval animal trials……they really happened! In medieval Europe, pigs were executed for murder, rats were summoned to court, and even insects faced excommunication. In this video, Kevin Hicks from The History Squad explores the strange world of medieval animal trials — a practice that seems absurd today, but was taken very seriously at the time. Expect real cases, surprising explanations, and the odd bit of humour as we uncover what these strange trials reveal about medieval ideas of justice, sin, and responsibility.
