single ordeal

An ordeal prescribed for someone accused of a less serious crime and involving less risk or torture than a triple ordeal.

• For example, a single ordeal by fire required the accused to pick up a red-hot piece of iron weighing one pound, while a triple ordeal involved a piece of iron weighing three pounds.
