What were the most brutal tortures ever done in history?
Some of the dreaded Middle Ages are without a doubt:
"La rueda".
This was reserved for those people who had committed a very serious crime.
I will explain, basically they tied the man tightly to the bench, then the assassin in charge of the iron gate broke all the bones and joints of the convicted man, one by one.
Too bad it had to be done in a certain way, because it had to be prevented a person from being killed by an internal spill, so the killer knew exactly how and how to hit the body.
However, all of this is done with the goal, so that the limits of the discarded person can bend sufficiently, able to wrap his body around the wheel, so that the ankles touch the head.
The pain continued until death, and this could have happened in an hour, a day, or even a week.
It makes me cold just thinking about this abuse.
