During the Middle Ages, it was felt that the people needed to be afraid of the Civil authority and the Church. The only way to keep order was to make sure that the citizens were terrified of any punishment that would be given out if a person was found guilty of a crime. And so, with the use of corporal punishment penalties were harsh. The inventiveness of the techniques and instruments used by the Medievals for both physical torture and punishment were remarkable. Prisoners, usually those from poorer backgrounds might be branded on the forehead, have feet, hands or even their tongues removed, and then they would be sent out into the world to carry on their lives as best they could, while showing the rest of society how they too would suffer if they dared to break the rules.
