I think what really drives home the point how terrible medieval executions and torture are, is to emphasize that being strangled to death or having a clean, quick beheading are actually _comparatively painfree._ I mean, assuming the executioner does a decent job and kills you somewhat quickly, of course. Even burning to death has a decent chance of being less terrible than some of the things seen on this channel, that would mean you'd suffer for days. Something that kinda freaks me out, most of these punishments happened in front of an audience, so to speak. What was it like living in the middle ages and watching a person being sawn in half or having their entrails being torn out by a crank. What does watching this to people? Did they watch in horror? Did they cheer, thinking justice was done? *Did they watch this for fun?* Sheesh.
I could agree yet here we are on TH-cam watching different Medieval torture methods. I've come not to be too surprised at the depravity humans have when it comes to entertainment. Plus in the eyes of the people, the one being tortured was a bad person. Also they were probably forced by the government.
@@chancewatkins5071 Well, we are watching videos on the torture methods, we don't watch videos of people suffering these torture methods. I would say that's a bit of a difference.
I read somewhere that for certain public torture methods, people , whole families, could travel across the region just to watch it... like is Disneyland trip. As some mentioned, it is from person to person, but i feel this type of entertainment made your own already harsh life less sh**ty.
@@juliansanchezharris5773 yup, was similar to a big sports event now. People have a morbid curiosity for death to this day, look at how popular videos are of it are.
The “pear of anguish” is actually theorized to be a tool for stretching leather shoes. Good to remember that through the lens of examining history, the human propensity for drama cannot be ignored
There is no known Medieval written or printed evidence of the use of the Pear for other than a gag. Indeed the Pear shown could not have been made In medieval time because metal working technology of the time was not up to its manufacture. No single Torture Museum has verifiable provenance of their Pear exhibits, or indeed for many of their exhibits. Just try asking a Museum Curator or Owner for their evidence ! Look up Wikipedia for further details from where I quote the following - "An early mention is in F. de Calvi's L'Inventaire général de l'histoire des larrons ("General inventory of the history of thieves"), written in 1639, which attributes the invention to a robber named Capitaine Gaucherou de Palioly"
PSA: there are animals that engage in hunting for more than sustenance. In fact, several different primate species even go to war with each other over territory.
Some animals may kill for "fun" (probably an instinct to hone their skills or just a behavioral adaptation gone overboard). But humans invented all of these methods purely to cause suffering. What's worse is that these tortures were often not employed against people who committed evil crimes, but rather for things like speaking out against authority and whatnot
You forgot to mention the most recent type of torture called “infinite ad”, where you are forced to watch a barrage of ads in order to have access to a TH-cam video
TH-cam figured out how to use the internet to get EXTREMELY popular... By offering raw, uncensored content limited only by your imagination and amount of free time, for FREE, to absolutely anyone with an internet connection and basic typing skills. Then, once they got popular, they fell prey to the same crappy behavior as everyone else everywhere EVER, and decided to suck as much money as possible out of every single person, and just like everyone everywhere who does this all the time, the overall enjoyability and quality of their product went STRAIGHT down the sewer pipe. As if they weren't already making millions off of the ad revenue that they already had... SMDH.
Well, I get it, but it was done just becoause majority of people was stupid enough to belive that "justice was done" and let some psychopats make morons out of them. You know, way to the Hell is made by the best intensions. Worst things in history was done out of fear, like this medieval torture, or holocaust in ww2. That is the lesson I think that all victims of that crimes would want us to learn.
The "Water Cure" one, is made more disturbing by the fact that clean water wasn't a common thing, so they most likely used whatever water was available.
Yup during the 30 years war there was a torture called “the Swedish drink “ and it wasn’t beer it was a horrible solution of liquified excrement that was pumped into until the stomach burst life would then end due to massive sepsis
@@ramseydoon8277 Don't be a contrarian, human nature itself hasn't changed in regards to its capacity for cruelty since the stone age. If you have any doubts on that, go to usacrime and take a look at some of the cartel executions, tire burning executions, and other acts of gruesome murder.
I believe that it's called Hydrotoxemia when too much water is introduced into the blood and the electrolytes are severely diluted. Recently a woman died from such when a radio station offered a free vehicle to the person who could drink the most water in a given timeframe. She drank two gallons plus in about an hour. She won, suffered a severe headache and dizziness, slipped into a coma and died. So on the same day as she won the truck, she won the prestigious Darwin Award.
There was a torture method in Africa where a condemned person was placed laying down in a canoe with the hands and feet tied to the sides. The canoe was filled with rotting material and then sent afloat in a mosquito infested swamp. The condemned person then died over the course of many days from a mixture of exposure and insect bites.
Geiger Tec - It was called "the boat" in the one reference book I have. After being laid down, another boat was placed over top with the hands & legs sticking out through holes (Pretty sure there were variations of this torture). The victim was forced to stay alive by having his eyes poked, through a small hole in the upper boat, if he didn't eat or drink. As you state, the boat was filled with rotten material & vermin. I believe the book stated that death took several weeks.
@@webleypug yes it was a Persian method of execution the victim was forced to drink a mix of milk and honey until they ended up in their own excrement being consumed by insects etc
That is called scaphism and it originates from ancient Persia it is commonly referred to as the boats were person is tied to one boat and another is secured over top with rotting meat or sometimes the victim is force-fed a bunch of milk and honey in order to defecate fill up the boats to attract bugs

Whenever I hear or see this topic broached, it makes me think about the inventors of the different types. Like some of it is way out there. How they came up with it we’ll never know. Probably don’t want to either. I’m sure most was through trial and error which led to certain methods being spread. Then you got like full on contraptions that have to be specially made. That takes time, dedication, and skill.
And nowadays, some of these things are fetishized and can be bought for a lot of money by people with unconventional tastes... if aliens are real, they'll have one good look and go "Nah, screw this planet..."
The rat torture method reminded me of the torture method that finally broke the main character in 1984. When I read the book, the method seemed disturbing but too ludicrous, as if something THAT odd and specific couldn't be real, and yet it was a real thing.
The most revolting creatures ever to walk upon the Earth - human beings! They are capable of the most gruesome cruelty, which they can inflict without a moment's hesitation and without even the slightest remorse. I am ashamed to be counted as human.
One thing that man is good at is inflicting senseless,cruel and soul- shattering pain on each other !!!. In this we are definitely #1 !!!. Yours truly Will VanNess
This made me nauseous. How does someone even come up with things so extremely evil and sadistic? Even if someone had asked me to come up with the most excruciatingly painful way of torture of execution, I would have never come up with something like cutting up someone's abdomen and slowly pulling out their intestines. What the hell.
As it is really horrible to hear about the torture methods in the middle ages- it has been used since then. Water boarding, and other horrific torture methods even practiced now in certain nations. Mankind will always be cruel to each other. Very sad xxx 🙏
Imagine all the innocent who were convicted from false accusations, innocent people back then accuse by corrupt police and then the innocent are sentenced to be tortured like this, today even when we have cameras body cameras innocent people get drugs planted in their car by police, a woman might lie and say you rape her and they sentenced you to be tortured like this in the old days. This whole system back then and today is horrible.
I heard about the rat cage torture for the first time because it was used in Chile under Pinochet. So I guess things haven't changed so much since the Middle Ages.
Wolves kill for fun as well. That's why you might hear in the news about conflicts between conservationists and ranchers in the American west. A pack of wolves might only eat one sheep, but they'll kill the rest of the flock just for fun. Predatory animals in general probably get some kind of dopamine rush from killing.
The difference is, a cat doesn't have the mental capacity to look back on it's actions and determine right from wrong. Plus there is no proof that any of those animals didn't kill out of anything except pure instinct.
@@DG-iw3yw Animals do stuff for fun all the time. There was a recent experiment with bumblebee that proved even they do stuff just for fun. Look up "bumblebees playing with balls." So, if even insects like playing and having fun, then of course higher level animals like mammals would, too. I'm no biologist, but I'm sure predatory animals would have evolved to find killing prey fun. A predator who enjoys killing would be a more successful hunter, and would be more likely to survive and pass on its genes.
@@chancewatkins5071 go watch a video of orkas slapping seals dozens of feet out of the water and then leaving it alone after a while. It wasn’t predation. These are highly intelligent animals that understand entertainment
4:46 funny thing about that, in one of his lectures on the medievel period by Philip Daileader, confession under torture was not legally admissible in court, even back then. However, if you had confessed under torture and later recanted your confession, you would simply be tortured again lol
@@barbieblues7639 I guess it gave lawyers the satisfaction that they are making at least some semblance of fairness. The lecture was specifically on the inquisition btw
They have a Spanish horse outside the old dungeon prison museum in Gävle Sweden. Visitors are allowed to climb up and sit on it... Just a fraction of time on it was extremely uncomfortable. After a few minutes it must be hell.
It's amazing how many of these devices were inspired by religion, to be used on heretics and blasphemy. The loving god certainly moves in delirious ways.
I’m actually not so pressed I was born in this age anymore, can you imagine if you like cough and a torch happened to glow brighter and people called you a witch and sawed you in half lmfao
What’s actually so much worse about the Heretic’s Fork is the jolt your body does when falling asleep, imagine you’re in that situation suspended mid air and your brain thinks your falling
Some evil lunatic had to cook up the idea of making this device, pitching the idea to his superiors and then manning them while torturing their fellow.man. Truly psychotic.
Lol. You clearly have seen videos on the internet. Lol. People being skinned alive, scalped, hearts removed etc. And the people behind the camera laugh..
People saying the quote is wrong need a lesson in the difference between a human brain and an animal brain. Humans have the ability to overcome killing instincts with logic, wisdom, and humanity. Animals work off of instinct and their killings are either based on accident or necessity. Even so, none of them would go to the lengths of torture in this video. Empathy is a sign of intelligence and sadly a squirrel could have more empathy than a human.
The Spanish Donkey was used on Confederate POWs, where it was known as "Morgan's Mule", for even the slightest breaking of camp rules. Heavy weights were added to the feet and the POW was forced to sit on the mule for two hours every day for a few days under threat of an armed guard, until he fell off from pain and exhaustion. The POW was often made to hold two large bones, one in each hand, to prevent him from using his hands to lessen his agony. Very few were able to walk after the hellish experience, some POWs were crippled for life by it.
Interesting fact: in my home church, Sånga church in Sweden, there is a painting on the ceiling that depicts a man having his intestines pulled out by a skewer that someone spins. I don't really understand why you paint such a thing on a church ceiling, but apparently they did so more than eight hundred years ago.
I believe in the death penalty for certain crimes such as murder or rape of a child but I do not believe it is God's will for man to entreat each other so cruelly. He is a God of love and mercy not brutality and cruelty.
Of course I fear God. The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. The ppl who should be fearful are those who reject the gift of his son Jesus Christ who died for the sins of the world.
Well I will say that the quote in the beginning is exactly accurate. As well as man the chimpanzee has also been confirmed to kill for the joy of it. Who take great pleasure in maiming and killing their enemies in particularly gruesome ways. The house cat also is known for killing simply out of boredom.
Probably already been said but we're definitely not the only animals that kill for fun. Killer wales, dolphins and other primates do. And ducks, dolphins and penguins have also been known to do it for sexual reasons/during r*p*y encounters with other animals. In fact, dolphins are just a tiny bit evil and kill for a lot of reasons 😅
If anyone saw the move The Cell with Jennifer Lopez, the intestinal crank was used a torture device in that movie. I thought it was a gratuitous use of gore by the producers. Incredibly and horribly, now I see it’s real…
Obviously another great video but am I the only one who really missed the trademark "cheers" at the end??? It's one of my favorite parts of every video!
Too much water makes the brain swell and press against the skull. The pressure leads to brain impairment and the victim can stop breathing. This happened a lot in the so called second summer of love when mdma was at its most popular. All the press said ‘you might dehydrate so drink lots of water’. Some mdma users took them at their word and drunk rather too much. Messy!
That's what happened to an English girl called Leah Betts. She took Ecstasy, then tried to flush it out of her system with litres of water. She died in hospital from cerebral odema. Soon after, apparently, the advice for using pills was to drink when you felt thirsty, or one pint per hour. When I heard about what happened to that girl, I felt so sorry fir her. A little more information would have saved her life. She never should have died.
Even with a seemingly endless supply of movie gore to choose from nowadays, I'm still surprised at the horrors people could invent back then.
Horror now : "OH YEAH I HAVE AN AXE I AM A PSSSSYCHO"
Horror then : "lmao let's roll this guy's guts on a spitroast"
Not just inventing, but carrying out these atrocities in God's name.

I am glad those torture devices and techniques are in the past. They make me shutter
When you shutter do you close everything down or open yourself up to all your feelings?

Don't die as a disbeliever
Whenever I hear or see this topic broached, it makes me think about the inventors of the different types. Like some of it is way out there. How they came up with it we’ll never know. Probably don’t want to either. I’m sure most was through trial and error which led to certain methods being spread. Then you got like full on contraptions that have to be specially made. That takes time, dedication, and skill.
And nowadays, some of these things are fetishized and can be bought for a lot of money by people with unconventional tastes... if aliens are real, they'll have one good look and go "Nah, screw this planet..."
Like the Pear of Anguish. Who the hell thought that was even necessary?!?!
The rat torture method reminded me of the torture method that finally broke the main character in 1984. When I read the book, the method seemed disturbing but too ludicrous, as if something THAT odd and specific couldn't be real, and yet it was a real thing.
They also did it in 2 fast 2 furious.
“Heretic’s fork” sounds like something Gordon Ramsey has in his kitchen.

The most revolting creatures ever to walk upon the Earth - human beings! They are capable of the most gruesome cruelty, which they can inflict without a moment's hesitation and without even the slightest remorse. I am ashamed to be counted as human.

Wow. Yep 🐾
One thing that man is good at is inflicting senseless,cruel and soul- shattering pain on each other !!!. In this we are definitely #1 !!!. Yours truly Will VanNess
This made me nauseous. How does someone even come up with things so extremely evil and sadistic? Even if someone had asked me to come up with the most excruciatingly painful way of torture of execution, I would have never come up with something like cutting up someone's abdomen and slowly pulling out their intestines. What the hell.

As it is really horrible to hear about the torture methods in the middle ages- it has been used since then.
Water boarding, and other horrific torture methods even practiced now in certain nations.
Mankind will always be cruel to each other.
Very sad xxx 🙏
Imagine all the innocent who were convicted from false accusations, innocent people back then accuse by corrupt police and then the innocent are sentenced to be tortured like this, today even when we have cameras body cameras innocent people get drugs planted in their car by police, a woman might lie and say you rape her and they sentenced you to be tortured like this in the old days. This whole system back then and today is horrible.
Humanity must be ruled by AI. Humanity is too cruel, and has lost every chance to improve.
@@Trbrigade ai's cruelty will be unbounded due to indifference...
@@Trbrigade that is so incredibly stupid im sorry, you a fed or something?
@AnikaHope-gd6xuwho's that?
I heard about the rat cage torture for the first time because it was used in Chile under Pinochet. So I guess things haven't changed so much since the Middle Ages.
Just fyi: orkas, dolphins, and house cats kill for fun. Pretty sure octopi do as well. So humans aren’t the only ones
Wolves kill for fun as well. That's why you might hear in the news about conflicts between conservationists and ranchers in the American west. A pack of wolves might only eat one sheep, but they'll kill the rest of the flock just for fun. Predatory animals in general probably get some kind of dopamine rush from killing.
The difference is, a cat doesn't have the mental capacity to look back on it's actions and determine right from wrong. Plus there is no proof that any of those animals didn't kill out of anything except pure instinct.
@@DG-iw3yw Animals do stuff for fun all the time. There was a recent experiment with bumblebee that proved even they do stuff just for fun. Look up "bumblebees playing with balls." So, if even insects like playing and having fun, then of course higher level animals like mammals would, too. I'm no biologist, but I'm sure predatory animals would have evolved to find killing prey fun. A predator who enjoys killing would be a more successful hunter, and would be more likely to survive and pass on its genes.
octopuses (anglicised) or octopodes (original plural - Greek) - no such word as octopi as octopus was never a Latin word.
@@chancewatkins5071 go watch a video of orkas slapping seals dozens of feet out of the water and then leaving it alone after a while. It wasn’t predation. These are highly intelligent animals that understand entertainment
im real glad theres no real media (pics and video) of these horrific methods
Nothing is as good or bad as the creativity of humans. God save us!
4:46 funny thing about that, in one of his lectures on the medievel period by Philip Daileader, confession under torture was not legally admissible in court, even back then. However, if you had confessed under torture and later recanted your confession, you would simply be tortured again lol
What was the point then?! 😭
Hilarious
@@barbieblues7639 I guess it gave lawyers the satisfaction that they are making at least some semblance of fairness. The lecture was specifically on the inquisition btw
the most horrific part of the vid was 5:48 when the pepper IS QUITE CLEARLY ALREADY CUT!!!!
Rats are cute but the illnesses they carry are horrifying!!!
That one guy said only humans kill for sport but has he ever seen cats?
How far has mankind come when you have people being tortured even today? Our species is never far from barbarism.
Boy, that last one was REALLY horrific! 😱
Fascinating! The level of cruelty, horror, and suffering inflicted on humans is ghastly and horrible! Cheers!
"More Medieval Torture Devices & Techniques that You’ll be Grateful Are in the Past..." sounds very much like a threat
Some apes do kill just because. I realize they’re our closest cousins, but animals kill for funsies too.
They have a Spanish horse outside the old dungeon prison museum in Gävle Sweden.
Visitors are allowed to climb up and sit on it...
Just a fraction of time on it was extremely uncomfortable. After a few minutes it must be hell.
It's amazing how many of these devices were inspired by religion, to be used on heretics and blasphemy. The loving god certainly moves in delirious ways.
Not God, but people acting in the "name of God"... bunch of hypocrites
Just evil people who think they know the answers to life. We are just glorified apes with a conscious we know nothing to do with.
What do you expect from a bunch of boy raping monsters?
Greatest threat to mankind is mankind. That will never change.
I imagine the Pear of Anguish would have many applications given the wide selection of orifices the human body presents
The first thing I said was it looks like something my gyno would use 😂
Medieval Times were big fun that's for sure!
There were several methods of torturing with vast amount of liquid, invented by various countries. The fear and disgust in victims were universal
How creative we once were.......Truly we are the worst creatures ever to live on this planet.
I’m actually not so pressed I was born in this age anymore, can you imagine if you like cough and a torch happened to glow brighter and people called you a witch and sawed you in half lmfao
What’s actually so much worse about the Heretic’s Fork is the jolt your body does when falling asleep, imagine you’re in that situation suspended mid air and your brain thinks your falling
Thx, love these before sleep, I pretend im dead
Some evil lunatic had to cook up the idea of making this device, pitching the idea to his superiors and then manning them while torturing their fellow.man. Truly psychotic.
i never thought stock footage of someone cutting a pepper in half could be so nauseating lol
Ahh I see the “pear of anguish” was adapted for gynecology
Lol didn’t realise they had smear tests in the Middle Ages 😂
All thru human history, man has shown his inhumanity to man,time after time.We have not changed at all.😞😔

I wish the people who say that humanity has become more evil would see this. At least we don't spin out intestines as public entertainment anymore.
Lol. You clearly have seen videos on the internet. Lol. People being skinned alive, scalped, hearts removed etc. And the people behind the camera laugh..
Human history is the most horrifying thing ever, no horror movie will ever top that
People saying the quote is wrong need a lesson in the difference between a human brain and an animal brain. Humans have the ability to overcome killing instincts with logic, wisdom, and humanity. Animals work off of instinct and their killings are either based on accident or necessity. Even so, none of them would go to the lengths of torture in this video. Empathy is a sign of intelligence and sadly a squirrel could have more empathy than a human.
The Spanish Donkey was used on Confederate POWs, where it was known as "Morgan's Mule", for even the slightest breaking of camp rules. Heavy weights were added to the feet and the POW was forced to sit on the mule for two hours every day for a few days under threat of an armed guard, until he fell off from pain and exhaustion. The POW was often made to hold two large bones, one in each hand, to prevent him from using his hands to lessen his agony.
Very few were able to walk after the hellish experience, some POWs were crippled for life by it.
James clearly never lived with cats
the most horrifying thing is not the torture methods but the fact that humans used to do this to their kind...
The pair of anguish was also used elsewhere in the body. Any orifice will suffice.
Mi paso por las tecnicas forences me demostró que estos episodios medievales quedaron ampliamente superados
I would love for you to cover the bronze bull as well!
I remember that one
Interesting fact: in my home church, Sånga church in Sweden, there is a painting on the ceiling that depicts a man having his intestines pulled out by a skewer that someone spins.
I don't really understand why you paint such a thing on a church ceiling, but apparently they did so more than eight hundred years ago.
Honestly they need to bring these back and make them exclusively for the crime of pedophilia!
I believe in the death penalty for certain crimes such as murder or rape of a child but I do not believe it is God's will for man to entreat each other so cruelly. He is a God of love and mercy not brutality and cruelty.
Of course I fear God. The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. The ppl who should be fearful are those who reject the gift of his son Jesus Christ who died for the sins of the world.

Wow, thanks for the Salem bit, such a fun show!
Well I will say that the quote in the beginning is exactly accurate. As well as man the chimpanzee has also been confirmed to kill for the joy of it. Who take great pleasure in maiming and killing their enemies in particularly gruesome ways. The house cat also is known for killing simply out of boredom.
That saw torture picture was on the wall in my history class!
The fact that the 1st heretic's fork shown had Phillips head screws is pretty disturbing, that means it wasn't used THAT long ago 😉
they had to use something to hang it on the wall for display at museum....

It's amazing how much torture was performed in the name of religion.
All these techniques would provide plus 10 public order to the settlement, and -10 banditry
I think these should be applied to our government. Lol.
That's why, SANATAN has been the one & only pride of What is called Human Society.
That last one.... whew😮💨😮💨
Probably already been said but we're definitely not the only animals that kill for fun. Killer wales, dolphins and other primates do. And ducks, dolphins and penguins have also been known to do it for sexual reasons/during r*p*y encounters with other animals. In fact, dolphins are just a tiny bit evil and kill for a lot of reasons 😅
@AnikaHope-gd6xu are you okay?
Cats, dogs, hippos, otters, petrels, owls need I say more?
I was impressed to know that the Philips head screw existed 500+ years before we once thought…
Another great video, showing the cruelty our civilisation was capable off. Also does anyone know the name of the music track starting at 7:00?

If anyone saw the move The Cell with Jennifer Lopez, the intestinal crank was used a torture device in that movie. I thought it was a gratuitous use of gore by the producers. Incredibly and horribly, now I see it’s real…
Any time I've thought I heard of the worst possible tortures and execution methods, I am privy to hearing about another horrifically creative account.
Why is so much torture related with religion? Why am I surprised. No matter the religious sect it is there way or the wrong way or torture and death.
Might want to read up on the Bolsheviks…
love this video!!!!!!! medieval torture is one of my interest and detailed videos like these are so good.
What the hell is wrong with the human race ?
For some reason "tickling their feet to make them writhe" made me laugh really hard.
I'm very ticklish and already find being tickled to be tortuous.
And now I have found exactly where foot fetishists came from.
The intestine crank really freaked me out
Obviously another great video but am I the only one who really missed the trademark "cheers" at the end??? It's one of my favorite parts of every video!
Too much water makes the brain swell and press against the skull. The pressure leads to brain impairment and the victim can stop breathing. This happened a lot in the so called second summer of love when mdma was at its most popular. All the press said ‘you might dehydrate so drink lots of water’. Some mdma users took them at their word and drunk rather too much. Messy!
That's what happened to an English girl called Leah Betts. She took Ecstasy, then tried to flush it out of her system with litres of water. She died in hospital from cerebral odema. Soon after, apparently, the advice for using pills was to drink when you felt thirsty, or one pint per hour. When I heard about what happened to that girl, I felt so sorry fir her. A little more information would have saved her life. She never should have died.
@@DG-iw3yw You actually knew her? I just heard about it years later. She'd be well old now if she'd lived.
