Painful Torture Devices From The Middle Ages (7 pics)
Just be glad you weren't alive during the Middle Ages.
Breast Ripper Or The Spider: Women accused of adultery, abortion or any other crime were subjected to this painful torture of this device. As the name suggests, the claw-like device, which ended in spikes, was heated and then used to rip off or shred a woman’s breasts. The spider was a variant, attached to a wall instead of clamped onto a woman’s breasts.
