Medieval torture of women. The worst executions in human history. The worst torture for women

Torture and executions were common in the Middle Ages and were used for a myriad of violations and crimes, including even minor violations.

Welding alive

Welding alive is a very slow and painful torture. It was not very widespread, like other methods of this type, but was used both in Asia and in Europe for two thousand years. Historical literature tells about three types of this execution: in the first case, a person was lowered into a boiling cauldron with bubbling water, resin, oil. Basically, according to the laws of the Hansa, they did this with counterfeiters. This set of laws did not give any privileges to the female half of society - in the 15th century in the city of Lubeck, Marguerite Grimm was thrown into boiling resin alive for selling several counterfeit coins. This method was considered very merciful - people instantly lost their consciousness from shock and piercing pain with a large burn of almost the entire surface of their body.
In the second type of torture, the previously tied up convicted person was placed in a huge cauldron with cool liquid, but mostly water was used in this case. The executioner lit a fire under this cauldron so that the water slowly began to boil. With such torture, the convict remained conscious of everything that was happening and suffered terribly and severely for up to two hours.
But there was also the most painful third kind - they took a woman, tied her and placed her over a bubbling cauldron of liquid, then they began to slowly lower her there so that her body slowly cooked for several painful ones. During the reign of Khan Chingiz, it was the most famous, popular and protracted form of torture and execution. In those days, these tortures could last about one, or even one and a half days. With all this, the doomed was taken out of the boiler and watered cold water, which led to the flaking of the flesh of the person suffering from the bones, although the person was still alive all this time, and could feel all this.

Impalement.

This type of torture came to Europe from the east, where it found wide popularity and application. A wooden stake was inserted into the victim's anus. Then this stake was also driven into the ground, and under the weight of the body, the condemned began to slowly be strung on him. At the end of this procedure, the stake could appear both in the neck and in the armpits, or crawled out of the chest of the martyr.

Sawing

As a rule, this torture ended in death. It was applied as a rule to witches and the like, that is, to the female half of society, who fell suspicious of Satan and conceived a child from evil spirits during their Sabbath ceremony. The woman was hung upside down and slowly began to quarter her. This torture had no equal and, the doomed, prayed to be burned at the stake because of the unbearable pain and torment.

Skull under pressure.

This torture method is simple. The head of the convict was placed and fixed so that the mechanism with the press was in the center of the victim's skull. Slowly, the screw of the mechanism was tightened until the jaw and teeth, and then the skull itself and the bones consisting of it, began to burst with a strong crack, and the brain began to be forced out of the holes in the skull. The main application of this method of torture existed in Germany and neighboring states.

Breast tearing.

This type of torture was used against women in the Middle Ages. The woman was tied up and a special breast device was installed. In this case, the chest was transformed from luxurious to bloody rags of blood and flesh.

Pear.

This type of torture was also very painful and was a form of sexual torture. A special device with an opening mechanism was placed into the mouth cavity, anus or vagina for the convicted woman and the screw was started to turn. The blades of this mechanism began to slowly open and tear apart the flesh.

Bowl of pectoral.

A bowl made of metal was brought to red over the flame and then, taking it with special clamps, was placed on the woman's chest. They kept this cup until the woman confessed what she had done. If the woman did not confess, the torture was repeated again. As a result of this torture, charred holes of a ragged nature were formed in the place of the woman's chest.

Wheeling.

This torture consisted of breaking and crushing human bones. The convict was placed on a special star-shaped surface and his limbs were fixed. The executioner used a metal mallet to beat on the limbs of the hands, thighs, forearms, legs and sternum, breaking and crushing them. After that, the person was moved to a wooden wheel mounted on a pole. The crushed limbs of the convict were fixed with a rope behind his back and placed facing the sky so that he would die in this position. Sometimes, after this procedure, the person themselves were killed, but sometimes, on the contrary, the victim was placed, in addition to everything, on the fire.

Let's start with torture, which can rightfully be attributed to the top twenty most inhuman bullying of people. The torture of the Inquisition included this method of punishing sinful people. In the Middle Ages, resorting to this cruel form of torture, the church punished sinners who were exposed in love for their own sex, for example, a woman with a woman or a man with a man. This kind of love and relationship was considered blasphemy and desecration of the church of God, so a terrible punishment awaited these people.

Instruments of torture of this type were pear-shaped. The accused blasphemer women were placed in the vagina, and the sinner men in the anus or mouth. After the weapon was inserted into the victim's body, the executioner began the second stage of torture, which consisted in making the person suffer terribly after gradually, when the screw was unscrewed, the sharp leaves of the pear opened inside the flesh. Opening, the pear tore the internal organs of a woman or a man to pieces. The lethal outcome was due to the fact that the victim lost a large amount of blood, or from deformation internal organs, formed during the disclosure of the deadly killer pear.

2. Punishing the culprit with rats

This is one of the most cruel tortures in the history of mankind, which was invented in China, and was especially popular among the Inquisition in the 16th century. The victim experienced terrible torment. The main instrument of torture was rats. The person was placed on a large table, in the area of the womb they placed a rather heavy cage filled with rats, which must have been hungry. Of course, this is far from the end: the bottom of the cage was removed further, after which the rats found themselves on the victim's belly, at the same time hot coals were laid out on the top of the cage, the rats were frightened from the heat and, trying to escape from the cage, gnawed the belly of a person, thus running away. People died in terrible agony.

3. Torture with metal

The worst torture does not end there. The next of the 20 most brutal tortures in the world is the brutal punishment of a victim with metal. The essence of the torture is that a piece of lead or iron was placed in a person's body in a deep, but not very large incision, after which the wound on the body was sutured. After that, the metal began to poison the victim's body, as it was oxidized. This type of torture was often used in the Middle Ages by the "pious" Inquisition.

4 death by air

Torture, which deprived the victim of blood, is an ancient form of punishment, which was resorted to on the territory of Kievan Rus. The human body was pumped with air using bellows through the anus. The victim was practically inflated like a balloon, having previously covered his nose, mouth and ears with cotton. After the thief was inflated (this type of punishment was often applied to thieves), the anus was closed with tissue. After that, the skin was incised above the eyebrows, with pressure, blood flowed out of the victim in the area of the incisions. The person died from blood loss.

5.Hellfire torture originally from the East - stake

The instruments of torture have always been cruel and brought a lot of suffering to the victim, but the stake was attributed to the category of the most savage, cruel and painful punishments known in the world. The accused was placed in a position with his stomach down, while not giving any opportunity to move. Then, through the anus, a sharpened stake was practically driven into the victim, after which they planted and under the weight of the convict's body, the sharpened stake pierced the body in the armpits or ribs. Death came in terrible agony.

6. Spanish chair

The Inquisition played the role of an executioner in the Middle Ages, its fantasy created many terrible methods, one of which was the Spanish chair, which made more than one person suffer. The instrument of torture was made of metal, the sentenced person was placed on it, the legs were fixed in blocks, which were attached to the legs of the chair itself. After fixing the prisoner on a chair, a hot coal was placed under his feet, on which the limbs were to be slowly fried, while the executioner constantly sprinkled the victim's legs with oil. It’s even scary to imagine what kind of torment people had to experience when they visited the Spanish chair of the Inquisition.

7. Witch's bathing chair

The witch's bathing chair - what is the essence of this torture?

The accused was fixed on a chair with ropes, then the chair was hooked onto a long stick and periodically lowered into the water for a certain period of time. This torture was carried out not in all seasons of the year, but only in the cold season (autumn - winter). If it was in winter, then an ice-hole was made for a chair with a sinner, the inquisitors could amuse themselves for several days, torturing him with such a dip. Ultimately, the accused suffocated underwater from lack of oxygen.

8. Saw

The essence of torture was the ability to keep the victim conscious and torture as long as possible so that the pain was constantly felt, bringing hellish torment. The saw is a favorite method of torturing sinners by the Inquisition. The accused of committed sins was practically sawed into two parts, after placing the sinner in a head-down position, thereby making it possible to saturate the brain with oxygen, preventing the victim from losing consciousness during sawing up to the diaphragm. It's scary to even imagine what a person felt when he was slowly sawed in two.

9. Gloomy rack

This torture device is known in several forms: horizontal and vertical. If the vertical version was used on the victim, then the sinner was clung to the ceiling, while twisting the joints, and weight was constantly added to the legs, stretching the body as much as possible. The use of the horizontal version of the rack ensured the rupture of the muscles and joints of the convict.

======================================================================

I draw the attention of readers to the fact that the historical heritage is by no means forgotten, as evidenced by many museums around the world.

Not only is it not forgotten, but it continues to improve already at a new technological and psychological level. So it is not evening yet, gentlemen, it is not evening at all.

In 1963, the CIA published the KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation for use in the Vietnam War. Includes specialized forms of interrogation, such as electric shock interrogation, threat / fear, sensory deprivation, and isolation.

The second manual for conducting extended interrogation was the Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual, expanded and supplemented, for special services in Latin America.

00. Propaganda

Perhaps the most subtle and insidious of all the methods of "additional influence" was and remains propaganda. It can be seen as a form of psychological torture. Modern "psychological attacks" began in the First World War. In the beginning, countries such as Great Britain and Germany began to use propaganda as one of the effective weapons. At the time, the British possessed one of the world's most authoritative news systems - and controlled most of the media.

Examples of British propaganda included the creation of brochures that were distributed from aircraft to battlefields. The brochures contained information about various atrocities - both real and fake - allegedly committed by the German army against civilians... With drawings and cartoons.

The Germans were able to successfully use propaganda to force the Sultan Ottoman Empire declare jihad, or "holy war" against the West. By the outbreak of World War II, Adolf Hitler had adopted British propaganda methods and used them to influence the minds of the German people.

"One death is not enough for such people: we must add mechanics"

"Bloody Countess"

Humanity was born, conflicts appeared. But since at first everyone was equal, everything was limited to a massacre, sometimes with a lethal outcome. In particular, who is stronger is right.

As time went on, civilizations appeared, people ceased to be equal. Now physical strength alone was not enough, your finances and position in society decided your rightness. With the development of tech. progress to extricate the desired from the accused no longer amounted to labor - the poor fellows themselves were glad of death, their deliverance.

Below are the monuments to human cruelty and the subtlety of the mind. Unfortunately, not much yet, but there will be that bi continius! Promise.

Oh yes, I missed the description of the fanaticism ... But no, but not from Horror! :)

I won't tell you from where, in short :)

PEN-FORT-ET-DUR

Pen-fort-et-dure, or "deadly pressure", first appeared in England in 1406, and although this punishment gradually ceased to be applied, it was not officially abolished until 1772.

In Newgate Prison, the prison yard was called the "press yard," and the room in which most inmates were tortured was called the "press room."

Although we have already talked about crushing torture, it usually did not lead to the death of the interrogated. In contrast to her, "death pressure" was originally an instrument of painful execution. Death with him came only after long torment, when the respiratory muscles of the convict, with difficulty lifting a heavy load, got tired and he died from slow suffocation.

The procedure was as simple as it was cruel, as can be judged from the text of the court verdict itself: clothes except for a loincloth. Then put on him as many heavy loads as he can bear, and even more. Feed him only stale bread and drink only water, and let him not drink water on the day he eats, and do not eat on that the day he drinks water. And so do until he dies. " Later, some changes were made to this procedure, although this execution did not become more humane from such innovations:

This punishment was applied at first in order to force the suspect to admit his guilt. To understand why this was done, one must remember that in those days the trial began only when the accused pleaded either guilty or innocent of the crime incriminated to him. In addition, the fact that the property of a convicted offender went into the treasury of the state often made him pretend to be dumb, in order to thus preserve his property for his children. Most of these "taciturn" prisoners were forced to speak by applying pen-fort-et-dur to them, but there is evidence that some of them died under torture, but did not open their mouths, thus depriving the Crown of its legal prey:

In 1740 a certain Matthew Ryan was tried for robbery. When he was arrested, he pretended to be insane, stripped off all his clothes and threw him around the cell. The jailers were never able to get him to get dressed; in court, he appeared in what his mother gave birth. There he pretended to be deaf and dumb, not wanting to plead guilty. Then the judge ordered the jury to examine him and say whether he was crazy and deaf and dumb by the will of "God" or "of his own design." The jury's verdict was - "of their own intent." The judge once again tried to get the prisoner to talk, but he did not react in any way to the words addressed to him. The law required the use of pen-forte-et-dur, but the judge, feeling sorry for the stubborn, postponed the torture for the future, hoping that, after sitting in the cell and thinking hard, he would come to his senses. When he again appeared before the court, the same thing was repeated, and the court finally delivered a terrible sentence: to apply “deadly pressure”. The sentence was carried out two days later in the market square in Kilkenny. When loads were piled on his chest, he begged to hang him, but it was not in the power of the sheriff to change anything.

Animal rape of women

<Название этой статьи поначалу кажется абсурдом. Разве возможны сексуальные забавы животных с людьми. Ну, конечно, многие слышали о скотоложцах, которые развлекаются с животными, но это?

Is it possible for an animal to take a woman by force? Unfortunately, this turned out to be not only possible, but it was also adopted by the monsters, who were not enough of all those tortures that mankind invented for its existence. It seemed to them necessary to trample the human "I" of the captive and in this way. In addition, many were amused by the very spectacularity of this "process". The meaning of this brutal torture was to humiliate the unfortunate woman to the utmost, subjecting her to something that, it would seem, could not exist. It was necessary to turn a person into an animal, turning him into some kind of that involuntary sexual partner. Well, without these explanations, everyone can imagine what the unfortunate felt when a wild animal invaded the place that belonged only to their loved one. Alas, this existed both as torture, and as a sophisticated mockery and as a sadistic execution. ...

This is how the famous researcher Daniel P. Mannix describes what was happening in the Roman amphitheater in his book "Going to Death ..."

Sexual intercourse between women and animals was often shown under the stands, similar to what is shown today in Place Pigalle in Paris. Such spectacles were shown from time to time in the arena ..

The problem was finding animals that would do what was required of them. A donkey or even a large dog that would voluntarily copulate with a woman in front of a screaming crowd was difficult to find, and of course the woman's help was required. If the woman wanted to mate herself, it did little to amuse the crowd.

The bestiary (a trainer who taught animals in the amphitheater) tried hard to teach animals to rape women. For this, women were usually covered with animal skins or placed in wooden models of cows or lionesses. During the presentation of a play called “The Minotaur,” Nero ordered the actor who played the role of Pasiphae to be placed in a wooden cow, and the actor who played the bull to copulate with him. However, these adaptations proved to be ineffective when working with real animals, and this project had to be abandoned.

Carpophorus, who had gained experience under the stands from early childhood, understood very well what was the matter. Animals are mainly guided by the sense of smell, not sight. The young bestiary closely watched all the females in Everin and, when they were in heat, soaked their soft tissues with blood.

He counted these fabrics and put them aside. Then he found a woman under the stands who agreed to help him. Using completely tame animals, which did not pay attention to the noise and crowding around them, he was encouraged to copulate with a woman wrapped in prepared cloth. As in his work with cannibals, he created a habitual way of behaving in animals and never gave them the opportunity to come into contact with females of his own kind. As the animals gained confidence, they became aggressive. If the woman, following the instructions of Carpophorus, defended herself, the cheetah sank its claws into her shoulders, grabbed her by the neck with his teeth, shook her and forced her to obey. Carpophorus used several women to train the animals well. A woman raped by a horse, bull or giraffe usually did not survive the trials, but he could always get the broken old prostitutes from the provinces who did not fully understand what their job was until it was too late.

Carpophorus made a splash with his new stunts. No one imagined lions, leopards, wild boars and zebras raping women. The Romans were very fond of performances on mythological subjects. Zeus, the king of the gods, often raped young girls in the form of various animals, so such scenes could be presented in the arena. Carpophorus staged the scene of the rape by a bull of a young girl representing Europe. The audience applauded wildly.

Apuleius left us a vivid description of one of these scenes.

The poisoner, who sent five people to the next world in order to take possession of their condition, was to be torn apart in the arena by wild animals. But first, in order to increase the agony and shame, she had to be raped by a donkey. In the arena, a tortoise-shell bed with a feather mattress and a Chinese bedspread was set up. The woman was stretched out on the bed and tied to her. The donkey was trained to kneel on the bed, otherwise nothing would have worked. When copulation ended, wild beasts were released into the arena, and they quickly put an end to the suffering of the unfortunate woman.

The old-fashioned bestiaries despised Carpophorus. They argued that by staging dirty shows, he humiliated their noble profession. True, they forgot that in the years of their youth, the old bestiaries condemned them for teaching predators to devour defenseless men and women. In fact, both sides were worthy of each other. The spectacles degraded more and more. What was once a demonstration of real courage and art, albeit brutal, gradually became only an excuse for harsh and sexually perverted spectacles.

Chimpanzees were drunk and then incited to rape the girls tied to poles. When these human-sized monkeys were discovered in Africa, the Romans mistook them for real satyrs, creatures from mythology. The arena was also visited by other monkeys, also the size of a man - titirus - with round reddish muzzles and mustaches. Their images can be seen on vases. These were, apparently, orangutans who were brought from Indonesia. As far as I know, the Romans never exhibited gorillas in circuses, although these largest monkeys in the world were known to the Phoenicians, who gave them the name, meaning “hairy savages”.

One wealthy noble lady, having promised Carpophorus a fantastic amount of money, asked him to bring one of his trained donkeys to her home at night. Carpophorus naturally complied with her request. The lady carefully prepared for the arrival of the donkey. The four eunuchs made a bed on the floor, covered with a Tyrian purple cloth embroidered with gold, and placed soft pillows at the head of the bed. The lady ordered Carpophorus to bring the donkey to bed, and then rubbed it with balm with her own hands. When preparations were over, Carpophorus was asked to leave the room and come the next day. A similar story is described in detail in the book of Apuleius "The Golden Donkey".

The lady demanded the services of the donkey so often that Carpophorus began to fear that she would wear herself out and die, but after a few weeks he was already worried only about the lady draining the strength of the valuable animal. However, he made a lot of money from this.

Used this barbaric procedure in other countries, as a variant of brutal torture, often preceding the execution. So, in particular, this is what Xu Yingqiu (XIV century - China) writes about the beautiful and cruel Gaoxin, the favorite of Prince Qu. "Diyu and Chaoping (the prince's concubines) were taken to the town square, stripped naked, put on their knees and tied to stakes driven into the ground in this position. Then rams, goats and even males began to happen to them, much to Gaoxin's delight. cut in half. "

Our contemporaries did not forget about such torture. So, there is a mention of the release of dogs on tied women, trained to rape the fair sex by the Pinochet secret police and the special services of some other Latin American dictatorships.

“Wild people!” - another reader will say. I will note, however, that representatives of the once highly developed civilizations did not disdain zoophilia either: for example, at the excavations of Sodom and Gomorrah, frescoes were found that can be safely called “Animal Kama Sutra.” They found something similar and during the excavation of settlements of other ancient peoples.And what is characteristic: this kind of sexual perversion - in contrast to the same necrophilia, pedophilia, etc., etc. - has its own "philosophy" rooted in centuries. the desire of the ancients to “approach” their totemic ancestors, well, and how they “approached” the same “untouched” cows and horses themselves. The consequences of such intercourse have always been sad (see Sodom and Gomorrah), but the phenomenon is nevertheless and remained not eradicated.

Few people know that in the USSR the first gang of zoophile-sadists was liquidated back ... in the mid-70s. The maniacs who took a liking to an abandoned dacha near Moscow as a "film studio" stole not only adult women, but also children, forced them to engage in unnatural acts with dogs, and all this was recorded on film. The technology was simple: precise **** was applied on the bodies of the victims, after which a dog, distraught with passion, was lowered onto them.

In this case, which later became criminal, it is worth noting two important circumstances. Firstly, none of the victims left the "film studio" alive - after the "filming" all of them were brutally killed by a gang of five people. Secondly, the "zoophiles" themselves were engaged in these abominations, as they say. “For the love of art”: selling such footage anywhere seemed very unlikely in those years. But they got burned because of their own greed: the very first contact with a foreign tourist in Moscow, to whom they tried to “sell a movie,” led to the disclosure of the gang. The shocked foreign tourist was not afraid to turn to the Soviet police, the opera went to the "allies", and the bandits were already detained by the KGB power unit.

This was followed by a closed trial, all five participants were quickly shot. The case itself was buried in the archives and was announced later only at advanced training courses for the leadership of law enforcement agencies. Moreover, the main emphasis was not on “zoophilic motives”, but on “penetration of Western agents into the USSR”: at the underground “film studio”, investigators found homemade swastikas and other fascist symbols, linking its presence with the “hand of the West”.

Even though the group was quite “local”, and according to some fragments of the investigation materials, it can be understood that the 25-year-old Anatoly K. and 30-year-old Boris V. were more likely mentally handicapped killers than Western “hirelings”.

So, if we discard the possibility of using this by various perverts and maniacs, there remains a huge scope for engaging in this kind of torture of various secret services in various countries. I don’t think this torture is a thing of the past. Her forbidden sweetness, cracking the soul of the executioners, is too attractive.

Genital torture

There is no doubt that the genitals are the most sensitive parts of the human body, their rich innervation is due to the need to produce orgasm, which enhances the procreation reflex. All this was provided by nature even in animals. In humans, all these reflexes were supported by a feeling of love. Isn't it strange that those parts of the body that were supposed to give joy from intimacy with a loved one, in someone's perverted brain, began to be used for savage torture.

Most likely, the first step on this terrible path was the invention of torture of this kind for men. We can be convinced of this by the drawings of Ancient Egypt and Assyria, where we see incisions on the penis, squeezing the scrotum, burning with a torch. However, the sources of those times did not tell us about such torture of women. Therefore, let's start the story with the torture of men. The simplest and most effective method was simple beating. It is widespread throughout the world and in our time.

So in Ancient Greece, the introduction of a prickly branch into the urethra of the interrogated is described. Telling about the emperor Domitian, Suetonius in "The Life of the 12 Caesars", writes - "to the many tortures that existed until now, he added one more - he burned people with fire their shameful members." His predecessor, Tiberius, whose fierce suspicion became legendary, was no better, "having deliberately made people drunk with pure wine, then their limbs were unexpectedly bandaged and they were exhausted from urinary retention and cutting bandaging."

We have already talked about the press for the breasts, with which the unfortunate captives were tortured. For men, a similar device was made with which the testes were slowly crushed. Rarely has a person been able to withstand this torture. In one of the manuals to the inquisitors, it was said that "with the help of the press in the genital area, you can force a man to confess to any crime." There was a more sophisticated device called the "goat", it was a wedge-hewn log with a perpendicular post attached to it. The accused was seated astride this projectile, pulled to the upright, so that he leaned groin on the sloping seat. The latter was done in the form of a vice, its halves were pushed apart, so that the intimate parts of the interrogated were lowered there, and then began to slowly move. I talked about the "Witch's Chair", the executioners invented a special version of it for men, when they were seated on a seat, where the thorns were fixed in such a way that they pierced the scrotum and penis. Often during interrogation, the executioner simply pressed on the intimate organs of the tortured, stringing them on thorns, trying to achieve confession.

Just like women, men were crushed and burned on their nipples, and weights were hung from them. I will not talk about such devices as a "crocodile" and a toothed crusher, specially invented by the executioners of the Inquisition to torture men.

In Stalin's torture chambers, the torture of "pushing the balls" was popular. The man was undressed below the waist, the guards pressed his arms and legs to the floor, spreading them apart, and the investigator with the toe of his boot (or an elegant shoe) pressed on the scrotum, increasing the pressure until the man confessed everything. Former Minister of State Security A. Abakumov, giving testimony, said "no one could stand this, it was only necessary not to overdo it, otherwise it would be difficult to bring him to trial later." Women did not disdain such an occupation. The most terrible executioner in the Leningrad NKVD in the 1937-40s was a certain "Sonya Golden Leg". This pretty 19-year-old girl managed to get the testimony she needed from anyone. She ordered that the arrested be crucified naked on the table, tied him to his legs and began to press with his foot on the genitals. But she did not spare women, girls, if she came across any, without looking at their age, she deprived her of virginity with a thick iron pin. Interrogating one 18-year-old student of the conservatory, very beautiful, she tied her naked to the waist to a chair, laid her breasts on the board of the table, stood on the table herself and pressed on her chest with a sharp heel, turned one of her nipples into mush.

The German Gestapo liked to inject acid through a catheter into the bladder of the accused, causing wild pain. In our time, this method has been adopted by the Italian mafia and Arab terrorists.

It was popular and remains to this day hanging the interrogated by the intimate organs or jerking by the rope attached to them. As one of the witnesses against South Africa, heard by the International Tribunal in 1980, described: “... once Major Gaaz and Lieutenant Stevens tied copper wire to my genitals, the other end was tied to the doorknob. Stevens lit a blowtorch and held it to my face , I moved away, the wire pulled tight and I lost consciousness. They poured water over me and everything was repeated several times. Gaaz said something to me, but I screamed so much in pain that I could not hear anything. "

Let's move on to the fair sex. The cruelty of the executioners could not soften not the age of the accused, nor the female beauty. I have already talked in other sections about how the interrogators "made happy" women over the past centuries. It talks about breast press, breast ripper, Spanish spider, Spanish donkey, Jewish chair, creepy vaginal pear; about torture specially invented to inflict pain on a woman's breasts

Knowing perfectly the most tender places of a woman - her breasts and crotch, the executioners invented more and more ways to inflict as much suffering on their victim as possible. So there was torture with a phallus or "a member of Satan." It was rough, often deliberately seated with sharp edges, thorns or petals that made it look like a bump. The name "member of Satan" comes from the medieval superstition of priests that the devil has a scaly member and causes severe pain during an act of love. So the executioners with force drove this object into the vagina of the interrogated, roughly jerked it back and forth, twisted, this atrocious instrument, especially if it was covered with scales that did not allow it to be easily pulled back, tore the walls of the unfortunate woman's vagina to shreds.

The genitals of the accused were burned with fire, poured over with boiling water, as it was said in "exposure to heat and cold." At all times they liked to burn the nipples of the interrogated with a red-hot iron or fire. The terrible pain made most people confess. In the 1456 Code of Laws it was said, "to whip a wife without work, her tits need to be baked hot, then he will say everything." Like men, women were beaten in the groin, and in Latin American countries, the favorite method of the police is to kick a woman's lower abdomen.

Such a blow causes a bruised bladder and involuntary urination. The girl instantly turns from a proud beauty into a frightened prisoner trembling with shame.

In conclusion, we can say that no matter what method the executioners come up with, its essence remains the same, with terrible pain to force them to admit everything they need. One need not even think about the objectivity of such an interrogation.

As I said: to be continued ...

Mood: Evil-bloody

Music: Canibal Corps

In the modern world, there is no place for torture; they no longer resort to torture in order to punish someone or get a confession of what they have done. Now only the torture museum can illustrate how the torture of the Inquisition took place.

Today the most terrible torture is the electric chair, and what happened before ... it's scary to imagine

The torture was so cruel that not everyone has the willpower to look at their replicas, which are provided by the torture museum so that everyone can see the face of justice in the Middle Ages.

It is difficult to define the most terrible torture in the history of mankind, since each of them was quite painful and cruel, but you can still identify the 20 most terrifying.

Let's start with torture, which can rightfully be attributed to the top twenty most inhuman bullying of people. The torture of the Inquisition included this method of punishing sinful people. In the Middle Ages, resorting to this cruel form of torture, the church punished sinners who were exposed in love for their own sex, for example, a woman with a woman or a man with a man. Such kind of love and relationships were considered blasphemy and desecration of the church of God, so these people faced a terrible punishment."ACUTE PEAR"

An instrument for terrible torture - "Sharp Pear"

Instruments of torture of this type were pear-shaped. The accused blasphemer women were placed in the vagina, and the sinner men in the anus or mouth. After the weapon was inserted into the victim's body, the executioner began the second stage of torture, which consisted in making the person suffer terribly after gradually, when the screw was unscrewed, the sharp leaves of the pear opened inside the flesh. Opening, the pear tore the internal organs of a woman or a man to pieces. The lethal outcome was due to the fact that the victim lost a large amount of blood, or from the deformation of the internal organs, formed during the opening of the deadly killer pear.

THE ANCIENT TORTURE OF THE WORLD INCLUDES THE PUNISHMENT OF A GUILTY WITH RATS

METAL TORTURE

CAT CLAW

Gradually and slowly, the sinner was torn out with pieces of skin, flesh and ribs with an iron hook, dragging him along the back.

DARK FOOT

CRANIAL PRESS

This is a kind of crushing machine for the murder of a convict. The principle of operation of the cranial press was to gradually compress the victim's skull, this press crumbled the teeth, jaw, and cranial bones of a person until the sinner's brain fell out of his ears.

JUDIN'S CRADLE

The very name of the weapon is quite insidious, but not only the name excites. This inquisitorial tool did not break or tear anything on the victim's body. With the help of a rope, the sinner was lifted and seated on a "cradle", the top of which was in the shape of a triangle and quite sharp. They were seated on this top in such a way that the sharp edge fits well into the anus or vagina of the victim. Sinners fainted from pain, they were brought back to consciousness and continued to be tortured.

IRON MAIDEN

The shape of this weapon resembles a female figure - it is a sarcophagus, inside which is empty, but not without thorns and many blades, the arrangement of which is provided in such a way that they do not touch the vital parts of the accused's body, while cutting other parts. The sinner died in agony for several days.

Thus, sinners, thieves and other people who were accused of certain evil deeds against the church, the king, and so on, suffered the most cruel fate. The convicts experienced the most terrible torments, being in the hands of a cruel executioner.

It’s good that today it’s only history and they don’t use instruments for torture.

The instruments of torture are so sophisticated in places that the cruelty of their inventors is simply amazing.

Pear of Suffering

This “pear” was used to punish women who had an abortion. And also - liars and homosexuals. The executioner inserted the weapon into the required hole of the offender, unwound the petals, but what next - you guessed it. Sometimes the victims survived, but not for long: then they died anyway - from blood poisoning.

Breast claws

Specifically: for the chest of an unfaithful wife. If one was caught on a hot one, then they took these claws, heated them up, and thrust into what they usually cover with a bra. Sometimes, after such torture, the ladies remained alive, but with a terribly crippled female beauty.
