We all know that there were many cruel punishments in ancient China. When it comes to punishment, there will be many weird instruments of torture. There are some instruments of torture that make people shudder when they hear their names. For example, tiger stool, milk clip, wooden donkey and so on. Not only did we have so many instruments of torture in ancient China, but in the Middle Ages in Europe, there was also a kind of torture instrument that made people horrified, that is, the "Iron Maiden".
The Iron Maiden was the most tortured instrument of torture in the Middle Ages in Europe. The prototype was named after being carved on the face of a girl. But the name refers to a living coffin. Many people think that this instrument of torture was invented by a woman named Countess Batilly. This woman was born noble and a very smart woman. But she is also the female serial killer who kills the most in history. She thinks that our human life is nothing but a tyrant. Once she killed her maid, the poor maid didn’t know what she had done wrong, and then the maid’s blood dripped on her hand. At this time, her hand became much brighter. So she began to believe that humans, especially the blood of virgins, can make herself young.
later killed more than 600 people in her lifetime, and the blood of all these people was used as a drink for her to drink or to take a bath. Later, later generations thought that this instrument of torture was invented by her. However, it was also discovered that this torture instrument appeared in more than two hundred BC, so some speculated that it might have been invented by a ruler named Nabis.
Nabis is made based on the appearance of his beautiful wife. As long as someone offends him, Nabis will use the iron maiden penalty on that person. Before using it, he will also say "I make my beautiful wife" Come to hug you" such words. Then Nabis let the prisoner be tortured by the iron maiden. What
said above is the origin of the punishment of the iron maiden, what I want to say next is how the iron maiden tortured prisoners. The Iron Maiden is a two-meter-high hollow human-shaped iron frame. The front two doors were linked by iron chains, tying the prisoner in the middle. Then closed both doors and extended a sharp blade or spike from the back of the door to pierce the prisoner's body. First, the hands and feet, then the eyes, nose, and buttocks. However, the iron maiden torture device does not pierce the prisoner’s vitals, so this torture device will not kill the prisoner immediately, but the process of torture is very painful. The prisoner will suffer for a long time, and finally slowly Bleeding to death. This torture instrument of
was very popular in Europe in the Middle Ages, and many rulers in Europe used this instrument of torture on women. In the iron maiden, the general female prisoner will be stabbed to the point of rotten. However, after the end of the eighteenth century, many European countries slowly abolished the penalty system, so this instrument of torture was also abolished.
In modern society, the iron maiden can still be seen in museums. In 2001, the Iron Maiden appeared at a torture exhibition in Russia. And the torture tool of Iron Maiden has appeared in many movies, such as "Batman Returns."
