RIGHT OF SANCTUARY MIDDLE AGES CUSTOM
In medieval England, a criminal could go to a church and claim protection from the
law. The authorities and the processes of criminal justice could not reach him. This
was based on the idea that no force could be used on the consecrated and holy
ground of the churches.
This privilege, called sanctuary, could be taken up by any criminals, ranging from
murderers, rapists and thieves to the simple debtor who owed a sum of money.
