Medieval Legal History - http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook-law.html
For the introduction, the following pages were consulted:
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/water-ordeal.html - The Breviary of Eberhard of Bamberg (ordeal with boiling water)
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/560-975dooms.html - The law of Athelstan (ordeal with boiling water)
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/876Worms.html - Council of Worms, 876 (about the killing of slaves).
The website also contains the Law of the Salian Franks and the Anglo-Saxon 'dooms', but here several articles are lacking; the Avalon-site does give the complete text for the Salian Franks, and Whitelock gives the complete texts for most Anglo-Saxon laws.
