The Tower of London during the Tudor Period became known as a site of execution and torture. It was during the reign of King Henry VIII where shockingly two of his wives/queens were brutally executed on the lawn of Tower Green. This cemented the Tower's reputation as a horrific site of brutality, but as the years rolled on it became as known for the torture that occurred there. The Tower utilised some of the world's most infamous and brutal torture methods, such as the rack. The rack was used to shockingly force prisoners into giving confessions, and it was inside the walls of the Tower where Anne Askew became the only woman to be tortured in recorded history there.
The Manacles were also used and these were a device which aimed to suspend a prisoner in the air, causing excruciating pain to a prisoner. The Scavenger's daughter was also used in opposite to the rack, and this was aimed to compress the body. But it was in the Tudor Period that torture was used at the Tower, and from this the notorious reputation emerged.
