>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 was a judicially sanctioned duel.

Yea essentially or even biased towards the woman if it was a rape trial or something heinous. There's reconstructions on YouTube somewhere and the guy in the hole actually does alright if he knows his stuff.
