Description
Trial by combat (also wager of battle, trial by battle or judicial duel) was a method of Germanic law to settle accusations in the absence of witnesses or a confession, in which two parties in dispute fought in single combat; the winner of the fight was proclaimed to be right. In essence, it is a judicially-sanctioned duel. It remained in use throughout the European Middle Ages and gradually disappeared in the 16th century.Inspired by a german 14th century copper plate.

Very, very nice attention to the details. How did you do the background? Did you paint it or use blue paper?
Another amazing piece.

Wicked! A bit busy, would be nice if things were spread out a bit, but then again, that's the style of back then. Can we get some detail scan?

I don't think the clergy would bless a trial by combat... Didn't Innocent III try to ban it?
