1. Impunity: Although imprisonment is not a common punishment in the Middle Ages, it has been applied more and more to future generations. Most of the prisoners were political hostages rather than criminals, and they were kept alive because they were too valuable to kill. The place of confinement varied depending on their status and the reason for their confinement. Many political hostages, for example, lived in luxury Tom with servants. However, the middle ranks of the lower or the moneylenders were half peeled off and imprisoned in the dungeon. (It was used in such a way that a rich Jew was locked up, and then his relatives gave him money.) JUDICAL Duel or Trial by Combat: On the ground or on horseback using a variety of weapons. According to local customs, the choice of weapons was based on the status and crime of the accuser or the accused. Both the accuser and the accused could apply for a duel, but even the witness who testified against him could apply for a duel. Throughout the Middle Ages, there were no restrictions on the qualifications to participate in duel, including women, physically challenged men, children, and priests. Some had to duel with trained warriors because most courts allowed them to hire champions (meaning duel agents). However, champions were dangerous jobs, and champions who lost duel in most of the Middle Ages had to be punished equally for those accused. Boiling: A person is put into a large cauldron and boiled alive.Dungeon: A dungeon in which a prisoner is cut in half or completely and left to live on three slices of bread and three sips of rotten water. At this time the prisoner could never earn light, and some had to place wooden boards and heavy weights on their chests. Hanging: The most common method of execution. It was held at an intersection to attract a large audience. The hanged prisoner was hanging there. Impaling: A red-hot buggy or stick is inserted into the anus. In this case, the prisoner hung on the tip of an oiled stick, but in the end, he was exhausted and had to be penetrated. Again, the body was left hanging (favorably used by Count Dracula): The sinner hung on his neck until he was about to die (woke him up again) and then pulled the remaining body out of the city and buried in four places away from the village. Garrotting: An executor strangled a prisoner with a string. In particular, the execution of Spain was this way, but other countries also introduced it. Fine: Most penalties could be replaced by fines. In other words, the rich had few opportunities to physically compensate for the crimes they committed. However, if the crime was so severe that he could not afford to pay a fine or could not be replaced by a fine, he had to be punished in court. Blinding: It has been applied to various crimes such as theft and rape. I pulled out one or both eyes. Pulled Apartments: Abduction (called rape even if a woman was not actually subjected to it), treason, murder, and other serious crimes. It was a punishment to tear and kill the limbs of the condemned person by tying them to different horses and then whipping them to run. (=Skilled) Outlawry: Penalties imposed on the Defendant who fled before being sentenced. Outreach means that it is no longer protected by law. When I found them, I had to chase them as if I were killing a wolf. Whoever killed the man who had fled in this way received the prize money, and anyone had the right to kill this man. And the land owned by the sinner was confiscated. Wergild (Wergeld): A custom in England that a murderer owes to the victim's family. The amount was determined by the status of the loser, and the moneyless tribes paid cows and other livestock instead of money. Quartered: Cut the prisoners into four pieces and bury them separately away from each other in the village. This punishment originated from the belief that when the day of judgment came, the body of the dead prisoner was incomplete and could not enter heaven. Pilgrimage: Confinement was expensive, so those who did not want it from the estate were expelled using this method. Those who were punished had to walk from sanctuary to sanctuary for a certain period of time. If the sin he committed was heavy, he had to make a pilgrimage until he died, and the way to be freed from this was only when the saint forgave the sinner and the chain that tied him was miraculously broken. If this was the case, the sanctuary had a tremendous advertising effect, and the number of prisoners forgiven at one sanctuary became the standard for evaluating a particular church or sacred object. However, this did not happen very often, so giving pilgrimages also made the journey of ordinary people and ordinary pilgrims very dangerous. Hamstring: The punishment of cutting the tendon of the spine and making it lame. It is mainly applied to theft and prostitution, and was also used to obtain confessions. BANISHMENT: Treason or whatever crime a judge or king may have committed if he did not want to see a prisoner in his own territory. Deportation was mainly given to noble men and women, but lower classes could have been suffered. The term of type was determined according to the degree of crime and the status of the prisoner. Amputation: Punishment for removing body parts. The area was determined by the presiding judge, and the area cut off was determined by crime (e.g., theft-hand amputation, voyeurism-eye removal), but it was not always like this. Regardless of the crime, the testicles, breast, tongue, and ears could be cut off. This punishment was so common that people who lost their eyes, ears, and limbs in accidents or battles carried around certificates that they did not become like this because they committed crimes. Beheading: Punishment for those who commit major crimes. This punishment was accomplished in many ways, most commonly by placing the head of the condemned person on a pedestal or a block of stone and cutting it with an axe. (British) Another method was where the executioner knelt and sat down, and the executioner dropped his neck with a knife.(German) Some countries have limited the number of times a knife is wielded when executing the death penalty. If the prisoner on death row was still alive after this number of times, he was released. But most of the prisoners had to die painfully and slowly. It was customary for such a cut head to be inserted into a window and displayed publicly for a certain period of time. Embowelling: The punishment of gut removal. It was done to a man who knew what he was going to do with the prisoner's spirit. Pillory: This simply meant tying livestock to pillars and tying people to pillars using handcuffs and iron necklaces. It was a punishment applied to various crimes such as adultery, perjury, drinking alcohol in public places, and spouse abuse. The prisoner tied to the pillar did not mind being teased, abused, or bullied by the passers-by. And the female sinners were especially exposed to rape. Burning: It is most famous for being used to punish heretics and those who practice magic, but in the Middle Ages, hanging was used more often than burning when killing witches were killed. Most burnings were punishments for treason, rape, and kidnapping.
