How is Anglo-Saxon punishment different from modern punishments?
The Anglo-Saxons didn’t have prisons. Most people found guilty of crimes were punished with fines. Some crimes, such as treason against the king or betraying your lord, were thought to be so serious that they carried the death penalty.

What is weregild?
A weregild was a defined value placed on every man graded according to rank, used as a basis of a fine or compensation for murder, disablement, injury, and certain other serious crimes against that person. It was assessed from the guilty party, payable as restitution to the victim’s family.
