The type of torture needed and used in medieval times needed to be slow and very painful, here are just some of the many torturing devices used in the medieval times.
The head crusher: Slowly and painfully squished the skull.
The rack: Stretches the body and broke bones/joints.
Ducking stool: Victims would be tied in a chair before being put in a stream in a pond then drowned to death.
The Iron Maiden: A torturing device that required one to be put in a tomb which held spikes. It was specially made to miss the vital body parts so the pain would last until one dies.
The Hanging cage: It held victims in a very small and uncomfortable cage, they were starved to death.
Most of the victims went through horrible deaths, such as, i quote: 'being hung, drawn and quartered' sadly, little escaped and those that did gave much entertainment to the crowds - usually.
Heads were put up on poles, while bodies were left in the gallows to rot. This was so people would know their fate if they also break the rules.
