Medieval Torture Devices Explained | The Hidden History of Control
Support brutal history storytelling → Subscribe to HISTOR
History was not always noble or heroic. In this episode, we explore the disturbing punishment devices associated with the Middle Ages and examine the social systems that allowed such practices to exist.
From the infamous “Scold’s Bridle” to the controversial “Iron Maiden,” we separate historical evidence from myth and legend. Were these devices as common as people believe? Or has time amplified their brutality?
This documentary looks beyond shock value and asks deeper questions about power, gender, and public punishment in medieval Europe.
