The Shocking Reality of Medieval Torture Instruments (No, Seriously)

The Shocking Reality of Medieval Torture Instruments (No, Seriously) – Movies make medieval torture look exaggerated or theatrical, iron maidens, spiked chairs, and chains on stone walls. But the truth was far worse. These weren’t random tools of cruelty; they were carefully engineered machines built to control, terrify, and extract obedience through pain.

In this video, we uncover how devices like the rack, the thumbscrew, and the breaking wheel really worked, who built them, why they were used, and how executioners learned to keep victims alive for hours or even days. From interrogation chambers to public squares, torture wasn’t chaos, it was science, precision, and spectacle.

Forget the myths of medieval barbarism. This is the real story of how pain became a system and how these instruments turned human suffering into a form of power that lasted for centuries.
