Femgericht und Inquisition

<p>In Femgericht und Inquisition Friedrich Von Thudichum delves into a comparative historical analysis of two distinct yet parallel systems of justice: the German Vehmic court (Femgericht) and the Papal Inquisition. This study explores the origins structures and operational methods of these institutions examining their roles in maintaining social order and suppressing dissent during the medieval period.</p> <p>Thudichum meticulously traces the evolution of the Femgericht from its roots in ancient Germanic tribal law to its emergence as a powerful often secretive judicial body. He contrasts this with the development of the Inquisition established by the Catholic Church to combat heresy. The book offers insights into the procedural differences the types of cases handled and the societal impacts of both systems providing a nuanced understanding of the administration of justice in medieval Europe. This historical account is essential for anyone interested in legal history medieval studies and the dynamics of power and justice.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
