Re: Medieval Torture
There was also a chamber in the shape of an ox made of cast iron, a person was placed inside and a fire lit under the 'belly' of the cash iron bull, screams of the person inside were funelled through a small chamber and sounded like the gruffing of a bull. Also the iron maden deserved an honourable mention. And in regards to the judas cradle the person tied up would be lifted about 2 feet above the judas cradle and then dropped onto his or her anus, it wasn't just a matter of being placed on it and sitting there.  |

Re: Medieval Torture
Dismemberment was carried out in the Medieval era by tying a person's limbs to chains or other restraints, then attaching the restraints to separate movable entities (e.g.,. vehicles) and moving them in opposite directions. Also referred to as "disruption" or being "drawn and quartered," it could be brought about by chaining four horses to the condemned's arms and legs, thus making them pull him apart, as was the case with the executions of François Ravaillac in 1610 and Robert-François Damiens in 1757. Queen Brunhilda of Austrasia, executed in 613 is generally regarded to have suffered the same death, though she was tied to the tail of a single horse. A famous device used for dismemberment is the rack, upon which the condemned is chained down by the wrists and ankles, on a large bed-like frame, and a wheel is subsequently turned, winding in the chains and causing an immense stretching.  · |
