In medieval Europe, the various sins and moral failings that would cause you to go to hell after death were all defined by the Catholic Church. Most of these are the same as you would find today - suicide, homosexuality, witchcraft (not as popular in the teachings today), blasmephy, failure to confess your sins prior to death, etc.
