11. Anglo-Saxon trials were brutal and strange when looked upon by the modern world. They had courts, similar to the present, buy they served vastly different purposes. There were two levels of courts, and each county having its own set. These courts were presided over by an official, appointees of the king. This was so they would echo the king's wishes and adhere to his laws. There were at least two courts, which had members specially chosen from the county to represent the masses. There was the Hundred Court, which met every two weeks and the Shire Court, which met every four weeks. They would judge people and honor others.
