[@bethanbaker7066]

I once read a book which was based on a real story. This woman had a baby out of wedlock, it was stillborn and she was accused of infanticide since she had no witness to say it was born dead. She was hanged but the execution was done wrong and it was cold, so they thought she was dead but she was only unconscious. Still near dead they tried to an autopsy for medical students (since she was a ruled criminal), she then started to wake up to their surprise and ended up being saved. It was ruled that God was obviously saving her because she was innocent and she made some money off people wanting to come and see her. She lived into middle age (30s or 40s) got married and had other children. This is what happened in the book at least but I think it was actually based on a real case in 17th century England. I think it was the 1640s but I won't say anything for sure.

[@nelissaortiz5405]

​@bethanbaker7066 I remember hearing a vaguely similar story in history where a woman was accused by a village of witchcraft and was hung but she survived the night and because the village couldn't try her again she basically haunted them after that. there were claims of misfortune and some said she grew three inches from hanging all night

[@zolengeb.7629]

Fun Fact: The device we call “the pear of anguish” was never actually confirmed to be for torture, that was just what some historians assumed it was used for after the fact. It’s far more likely that it was a tool used by cobblers or tailors to open up shoes or sleeves a few sizes.

Except it is not a real torture device, the video got it wrong. The pear doesn't have the strenght to force a human orifice. We don't know how they were used, maybe a surgical tool.

[@Brother_Piner]

The Pear of Anguish is of disputed credibility. In fact, most medieval torture devices are. Heck, the Pear isn’t even Medieval, it’s actually more consistent with designs circa 1600, which is early-modern, not medieval. There is no known first-hand or even remotely related account of it being used, and only a few are known to exist from 1600.

[@ChrischenL]

It’s also more likely, that IF it was used, then in the mouth as gag / torture device (dislocating the jaw of fully extended), as far as I seen/read on museum visits.

[@gtsoul2]

Indeed, sources related to "the pear" are not first-hand, but reproductions made long after their so-called use. However, you can find similar design in germany late 15th-16th, as tools of shame for gossipers. But they are not designated to injure physically.

[@udttdujgx]

the wheel punishment was so infamous, the creators of dark souls decided to make an enemy that perfectly replicated what the torture was like

What enemy was that?

Most of these tortures come from the Renaissance and early 1600s or are completely false... Like, for example, witch hunts... it was more likely to find someone who believed in witches in the age of newton and galileo than in the age of the crusades...

Source: the misconceived view of the middle ages. BTW some of these things weren't used in the middle ages and some are just wrong. The middle ages is a 1000 years period and it's stupid to classify these things as "medieval" maybe use real historical records because torture wasn't actually common back then.

[@Beantbeantbeant]

These are Early-Modern, not Medieval. Witch-trials were mostly a 16th and 17th century tradition, some 100-200 years after the Medieval period… the pear of anguish is from the 17th century, and even so it’s use as a torture weapon is debated. You also often show pictures from early books and their wood cut images, which again are not medieval as they are taken from the 15th-17th century onward and the invention of the printing press is widely considered a debated boundary that ends the medieval period entirely. Medieval is 476-1453 AD. These are not from that area, and the video is wrong. You made a video about Early Modern torture.

I agree whole heartedly, except with your dates for the medieval period, as these aren't as ckear cut. Some historians even set the end date of the medieval perid at the begin of the reformation in 1518.

The people inflicting and assigning these punishments were just plain sadistic. They themselves were pure evil only wanting to watch people suffer.

[@senseishu937]

Most of these punishments are embellished, and were most likely not done. The pear for example everyone keeps reiterating is dubious at best. People back then are no different than today's.

[@flyingsquirrell6953]

Something that needs to be remembered is how lackluster medieval crime fighting was, so the common idea was that if the punishment was so over-the-top brutal, then it wouldn’t be done. It should also be remembered that what little crime fighting was done was often times vigilante, and it isn’t hard to see how an offended victim or town would behave absolutely brutally to the criminal. This idea persisted all the way until modern police forces were established. With a governor in 1810s London saying “men are not hanged for stealing horses, but so that men may not steal horses.”

[@pezequilibradohace5anos538]

Yeah, oh my, being forced to walk around like a ghost, so evil!
