Witch's chair
This chair looks no different from ordinary ones, but it is covered with iron thorns and the device is very strong. If no one takes the initiative to untie it, it will basically not run away. When being punished, the witch will be stripped of all her clothes and then forcibly fixed on the chair, so that she will be stabbed by the chair. Basically, few people can stand this very cruel torture.
Generally, this execution process will last for a day and a night, and even if it survives, it will be regarded as witchcraft evidence, leading to the death penalty. Many people give in because they can't stand the pain and bow to the church. Basically, all witches will experience this inhuman punishment before being sentenced, and they will be tortured and insulted endlessly, so this punishment is reviled by many people.
In ancient Europe, this punishment was very common. At that time, people were ignorant and women's status was low. In addition, basically everyone is a believer in the church, which gives the church great rights and allows it to do such inhuman behavior. In fact, most of the convicted witches were framed by the church. There are not so many witches at all, and there are very few real witches.
The number of witches burned to death at that time was very large. In Scotland, more than 4,000 people died, while in Europe during this period, nearly 2 million people were executed as witches for various reasons. In some villages, if there is a witch, it will implicate the whole village in being slaughtered. Widows and very lonely infertile women will be considered witches and slaughtered directly, which is very cruel.
