Jehan de Beauquesne, the corrupted bailli of Arras, was involved in numerous criminal cases, leading to a shocking lack of justice in 13th century France.
Witnesses to violent crimes were often silenced or bribed, showcasing the systemic corruption in the medieval justice system, where truth was easily obscured.
In the case of Jehan de Feuchi's murder, despite numerous witnesses, police chose to ignore evidence after being bribed, highlighting extreme malfeasance.
The rapists, Wauteron Li Buriers and Sousse Soumillons, were spared charges as Bailli Beauquesne colluded with their friends, further exemplifying police corruption.
