ACOUP - Oaths! How do they Work?

This time, I’m covering Bret’s religion related posts.To start, I’m covering his one-off analysis of how oaths and vows worked. What were oaths and vows, how did they different, what did they mean to the folks who took them... and how does our modern media often get these mechanics wrong?
