What Medieval Punishment Was Really Like (It's Worse Than You Think)

#historydocumentary #DarkHistory #MedievalPunishment #MedievalEurope
In medieval Europe, punishment wasn’t just about crime, it was about control. Public executions, branding, torture, and trial by ordeal weren’t exceptions… they were law. And the crowd was always invited to watch.

This documentary uncovers the brutal truth behind medieval punishment, where justice was divine, pain was purification, and fear kept society in line. From the rack to the pillory, from witch trials to mutilation, you’ll see how suffering was systematized, ritualized, and normalized for centuries.

Welcome to Dark Stories by Oyoko.
