Medieval+Torture

 The medieval times were violent and also blood thirsty. In the middle ages the pillory was used and that means torture on prisoners. There were no laws, or rules to protect the treatment of the prisoners who were facing torture or in other words Pillory.

The ducking chair was used back in the medieval times for punishment for women. The ducking chair had the women strapped to it then they hold it over the river and lower her down into the freezing cold river and dunked in. They may live but then again they may not.

The thumb screws were used for crushing people’s fingers and also toes. The thumb screws were used by putting the thumb screws onto their fingers or toes and then crushing them.

How they used it was that a prisoner was locked inside the cage and then the people that did it to the prisoner just leave him there to die of hunger, or their body’s were just left there to rot away. When they got left there to die of hunger or rot away they would be in pain. <span style="COLOR: #e00681; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">Source:   <span style="COLOR: #e00681; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">http://www.davincisworld.com/CastleRooms/Dungeon/OldDungeon.htm
