<|assistant|>
The most common medieval torture techniques involved prolonged starvation, forced exercise, water-drenching, mock executions, skin-scrubbing with wire brushes, branding, electrical tortures such as the Iron Maiden, stretching on the rack, pressure points, beheading and dismemberment. In addition, medieval doctors were known to perform “medical” procedures such as removing organs, pulling teeth, and cutting body parts for supposed treatments. Cruel punishments like the wheel and the iron were also very popular, as were “creative” tortures like being slowly boiled alive, drowned in a barrel of urine, and suspended by hooks from the ceiling. Needless to say, the medieval period had an impressive array of terrifying and excruciating methods of torture, many of which were still used up until the 18th century.
