What is the most medieval torture techniques?
<|assistant|>
One of the most common medieval torture techniques was Water Torture. This form of torture involved immobilizing the victim and pouring either hot or cold water over them, causing intense pain and often leading to death. Other commonly used techniques were Cramp Rack, the Breaking Wheel, the Scavenger's Daughter, and the Pear of Anguish. The Cramp Rack was a narrow box with metal prongs that would squeeze the victim until they bled to death. The Breaking Wheel was a form of execution where the accused would have a wheel placed around their neck with weights added until they were dead. The Scavenger's Daughter involved forcing the victim to sit in a chair with sharp spikes jutting from it. Finally, the Pear of Anguish was a wooden instrument made to press on the neck or genitals until they agreed to a settlement or confess.
