2. What was the name of the court that held a jury?

i hope you can help :)

Answer 1

hello

question (1) ... homage

"The noble would appear before the king and kneel in front of him. Placing his hands between those of the king, the noble would acknowledge that he was the king's vassal and pledge his faith to him against all men. The king would then accept the noble's pledge, raise him to his feet, and kiss him. This act by the noble was called homage."

question (2) ... The Manorial Court (Trial by Jury)

"The manorial court dealt with all but the most serious crimes. It was held at various intervals during the year and all villagers had to attend or pay a fine. All men were placed in groups of ten called a tithing. Each tithing had to make sure that no member of their group broke the law. If a member of a tithing broke a law then the other members had to make sure that he went to court.

The Lord’s steward was in charge of the court. A jury of twelve men was chosen by the villagers. The jury had to collect evidence and decide whether the accused was guilty or not guilty and, if found guilty, what the punishment should be."
