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 being tortured, and millions had permanent damage to their bodies” (Currie 7). Before this era was the Classical era, and the Renaissance followed the Medieval period. “Europe has always been known for its art, literature, and creativity” (Currie 7).
