Disembowelment Torture

 

Medieval Torture



The disembowelment torture was used to punish thieves and those accused of adulterism. This was generally done in public, for everyone to see; though later this practice was more common inside a dungeon - with mice.

The victim had a fine cut made in the gut - leaving some of his intestines to be seen. During the early Middle Ages, it was common to simply leave him to catch an infection. Nevertheless, during the later Medieval Times, torturers began using small animals to cause the victim's death faster and more painful.

Mouse Eating

Usually the torturer had a couple of starving mice in a box. When they were placed on top of the naked victim, they would begin eating him slowly. We have about 6 meters of intestines which were slowly eaten by the starving mice leaving the victim to stare in agonizing pain.

Ultimately, the victim suffered of an infection - which caused death in a couple of days.
