Medieval Torture Medieval torture was one of the most inhumane things that has taken place in the history of the world. When thinking back to the medieval time period, there are several things that one should consider about medieval torture: the time period and innocent victims, the torture chambers and accused crimes, as well as the types of torture. "The medieval time period endured from the 400s to the 1300s or maybe even longer. Tens of thousands of innocent people lost their lives while…

over 30,000, were burned. This example of murder and violence on such a mass scale demonstrates the extent of Vlad’s poor upstanding personal character and sadist traits.

In a letter to…
