Join this tour to delve into the concept of justice during the Middle Ages.

Discover which crimes were deemed serious or minor, the common punishments and executions for the guilty, and how executioners, counterfeiters, and brawlers were perceived by the townsfolk. This exploration will be based on actual cases from medieval Tallinn.

Learn about fines for swearing, penalties for gossip, the prison system, notable European figures who faced punishment or execution, and the notion of freedom in medieval cities. All this and more will be covered in the “Justice and Mercy” tour.
