EspañolBLOOD COURT
(Redirected from Blutgericht)
'''Blood Court''' () or high justice in the Holy Roman Empire referred to the right of a ''Vogt'' (a reeve) to hold a criminal court inflicting bodily punishment, including the death penalty.
Not every Vogt held the Blutgericht. Up to the 18th century, for example, the ''Blutgericht'' of much of what is now the Canton of Zurich lay with Kyburg, even in the territory ruled by the counts of Greifensee. The self-administration of the ''Blutgericht'' was an important factor of ''Reichsfreiheit''.
