Torture thrived during the Middle Ages as a sanctioned way to elicit confessions, mete out punishment, and stage executions. The brutality varied significantly depending on the approach employed. The European Medieval era spanned five centuries, from 5th to 15th, when torture was frequently used to extract truthful statements, name accomplices, or uncover crucial crime information. Without codified laws regulating treatment of captives or limits on inflicted torment, the scope for inhumane cruelty remained largely unchecked. Confessions obtained through gentle methods (like toe wedging and strappado) were often considered insincere. Different techniques were utilized based on victimhood – a person's offense, sex, or standing within society. Experienced torturers mastered prolonging life while unleashing unrelenting anguish. Before the executioner did their work, many captives endured gruesome torture sessions aimed at garnering extra information. Frequently, this ordeal was coupled with the method of execution they would ultimately suffer, making death a double-edged blow.
