Medieval Torture- Knotted Rope

[dfg297lpopdirk]

Bollocks to this ive been here to long im going somewher more cheerful

[TheLolbot3000]

One thing. You have probably addressed this, but although the tortures may have stayed the same disgusting things, surely this is renaissance or post, not medieval?

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@TheLolbot3000

Correct, this takes place just after the classified Medieval era, but the tortures methods were from the Medieval ages/laws

[MrJuirIII]

May I know what the man did? My english is quite.

[SamKat86]

@MrJuirIII He was one of Queen Anne Boleyn's accused lovers. He, like the other men thought to have slept with her, and Anne herself, was innocent. It has been proven that they were all innocent.

[Rolly196]

oh my God that's terrible.. my poor eyes

[Jmnkkg83]

Would sux

[johnnyXisXneat]

what movie is this from



[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@johnnyXisXneat

it's from a Showtime series called The Tudors that aired on TV a few years ago

[CPmasterxxxxxx]

fucking shit im glad that we dont have this anymore

[blueberrycakecz]

this is very interesting but it somehow makes my legs feel weak all at once. but i guess its worth it...

[jojolatina123]

Perfect! Great video for my presentation.

[outotyyppi90]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn

Yes. I can see there's lots of people loving gore, torture and killing and get some kind of statisfaction for that. But if a million people are sick, that doesn't make being sick not sick, if you understand. You are just not healthy for loving to watch torture etc.

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@outotyyppi90

I already replied to this a while back concerning the question of sickos coming here to watch torture for fun, and my reply basically stated that yes, some people will watch this just for curiosity and I don't have any issues with that. These are after all just actors on a Showtime series, not actual victims of torture.

However, my reasoning for uploading these clips is so they can be used for historical research and presentation.

If they bother you than don't watch them, period

[outotyyppi90]

you uploader, you and you everyone are just sick

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@outotyyppi90

So you clicked on a video entitled "Torture" to tell me this?

Hypocritical dumbass, if you bothered to read any of the descriptions you would see that these videos are intended as an educational resource for historical knowledge.

Now go take your judgmental bull shit and spew it on the people uploading death scenes from horror movies

[Murderface357]

@outotyyppi90 get fucked ya queer cunt

[Chino7762]

what a pussy. i could have taken that like a pro.

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@darthbinks99

Yes, he was a descendent of Thomas's sister

[TalonMercenary]

who the FUCK thought of this ARGHHHH

[scruffypete1]

what a pack of bastards they were.

[195ronaldinho]

[METALLICARULES11]

tudor eye patch

[METALLICARULES11]

@DramaInPajamas here in ireland a few months ago a guy was tortured the same way wait is that the guy you were on about

[breebreeskullderlife]

so...did he sleep with the Queen..?

[Crazyman1212]

it didn't matter what you said back then, they would have done it anyways....those fucks did it because they like it, there fucked in the head.

[tornadoe13]

thats marcus from babylon 5!!

[bedore50]

Was this torture scene from the Tudor Series that has Series 1 to 4??

[Jdude60IsBack]

7 people slept with the queen

[source1zero]

That's knot cool ;)

[xXDDXx999]

Thoes cunts did'nt belive hime :( sorry for my bad language

[BranCrotes]

Just out of curiosity what would the punishment have been had he admitted to it? I know he didn't do it but he is the same guy as in 3 other torture scenes and I would have admitted to it even if I didn't do it.

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@BranCrotes

He would have been charged with treason (which he was, though he wouldn't have *had* to be tortured had he admitted to the charges) and the punishment for treason was "Hang, drawn and quartering" for commoners.

His sentence, of course, was commuted to a more merciful beheading, likely because he did admit to the charges rather than putting his interrogators through the trouble of having to find further evidence to convict Anne with

[pineapplewar]

Saw VIII: Coming soon...

[sludgefingers]

One of the worst tortures on show in the Twr of Londn was a metal loop which held the subject's neck down near their knees and held their wrists next to their ankles. Doubled up like this, they would be put in a small niche in the wall just big enough for them to fit in this position, and left there for a few days. No physical assault or presssure necessary.

[boettcherownzu]

@sludgefingers That's called the scavenger's daughter. Sometimes pressure would be applied to cause blood to squirt out of the facial cavities. The antithesis to the rack.

[sludgefingers]

@boettcherownzu That's interesting. Thanks for that. It's mind boggling the amount of thought they must have put into inflicting pain.

[boettcherownzu]

@sludgefingers Oh yeah, the list goes on. This knotted rope here was simple compared to the loads of other things they'd do to one accused of treason.

[angelofdarkness49]

@sludgefingers That's disguisting, wouldn't that cause a crooked back?

[sludgefingers]

@angelofdarkness49  Probably - though you could pick your toenails to your heart's content.

[Nigelxman1]

Yikes, do you have a fascination with torture or what?

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@Nigelxman1

I have a fascination with history and feel the need to expose even the dark aspects of it, hopefully to help prevent these things from happening again.

Of course people will come here just for the sheer curiosity of the morbid, which is fine too, at least it's done educationally instead of like a SAW film. Hey, maybe some of them even go on to study history too, win win IMO

[Nigelxman1]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn Fantastic and very well explained response.  Thank you. :-)

[hydromorph1965]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn You're right on point... In school, I wasn't interested in History at all. I wasn't interested in much of anything, really! As were a lot of us way back when! Now, I 'thrive' on Historical events. Yes, the wow factor of the Inquisitions, etc. started my interest, of course. But now, I thrive on education, PERIOD! It is in my opinion, also that it's a 'win' 'win', also.

[HellAngelsBells]

Burnings, head-choppings, boilings, knotted ropes, hangings ... people back then just didn't want to do anything halfway, did they?

[TheShodan2004]

hey its Franklin Mott before he became a vampire

[YOYOdaMOOSE]

this Mark Smeaton does not appear to be having a good day

[EnterTheTerrible]

Torture is useless. It doesn't provide truth.



[GuitarBabe3]

thats disturbing :O

[SoundOfTheOcean]

I dont even get what's happening. . .

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@SoundOfTheOcean

I wrote about it in the description; they're using a rope with a knot in it and placing the knotted part over his eyes while tightening the rope around his head so that the eye is pushed inwards towards the brain

[AdamFitz12312]

@SoundOfTheOcean They're administering a type of torture that makes no immediate sense, so he's left crying at the fact that he has no idea what's happening.

[LittleMermaid1997]

who was the king and queen at the time? i know its the tudors but there were lots of kings and queens? and also who was the guy who "apparently" slept with the queen?

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@LittleMermaid1997

Henry VIII, the queen at the time is Anne Boleyn

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@LittleMermaid1997

oh, and the guy is Mark Smeaton

[countrywillneverdie]

@LittleMermaid1997 Anne Boylenne's husband, and that should settle just about everything in this video. HENRY 8 himself. The queen never really slept with him, it was just a ploy used by that s.o.b. cromwell to get a rival out of his way. So, technically he really never did anything wrong to deserve that.

[TheOnePistol]

Did he sleep with her?

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@TheOnePistol

unlikely, he was said to have been a pretty flamboyant homosexual, and was shown to be in the series as well (of course not openly for obviousness of the times sake)

[TheBANGORBOB]

this is CRAZY

[spursloyal71]

Evil fuckers in those days, I undertsand now why Alan Partridge said.....

"Theres a painting of Henry the fith over there .. he was a shit"

[dakotagonz]

Shieeet, I would have just told them I did sleep with the Queen.

[steelcagechaos1]

@dakotagonz You would've gotten tortured for actually doing it too lol

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

What is the point of torture if you're just going to keep going until they tell you what you want to hear?

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD

that's precisely the point of torture, to get you to tell them what they want to hear

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn Then why not just lie about it and be done with it?

[xxxruzzelxxx]

that's just unfair, so if you say what they wanna hear they're still gonna kill you

[pleasendlost]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn yeah but what you want to hear isn't always the truth

[doglover1332]

@TheScars75

That's exactly why torture is senseless. Even if the victim is telling the truth, the interrogators won't stop the torture until they hear what they want to hear.

[TheScars75]

Torture sucks. What if the victim IS telling the truth?

[standardbearer]

Which movie is this (and the other clips are) from?

It'd be nice if you could put this info under the vids.

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@standardbearer

The Tudors 

[Myles0Harcourt]

It's amazing the number of ways humans can come up with to hurt each other.

[BlackScorpionSkull]

People were paranoid, extreme, nut cases back then.

[Thisismytrollingface]

@BlackScorpionSkull People still are!

[juniperlei]

@BlackScorpionSkull i think some still are

[LasNoches1000]

@BlackScorpionSkull People still are paranoid, extreme nut cases.. we just try to hide it better

[UofLCardFan08]

@BlackScorpionSkull

Hell, torturous methods are STILL used today (especially in the Middle East).

[ImperialGuard9001]

@BlackScorpionSkull People are still paranoid extreme and nut cases now!

[Wullieboy919]

not as bad as the iron maiden but still OWCH!

[358kl]

Us their more? Can you post it up??????

[KerstinMonika]

This would be Mafia or terrorist methods today. A great example for a MEDIEVAL interrogation (cross examination) . I do not understand the name of the INQUISITOR : Mr. Criminal???

Can you help me?

[Hotshotter3000]

Cromwell was in the 17th century, and it isn't the middle ages.

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@Hotshotter3000

true, though the time and people that these events occurred isn't the purpose; it's the use of the various methods used to extract information and punish people that are taken from the Medieval era

[Hotshotter3000]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn Well actually, torture wasn't used very often in the middle ages, and it wasn't used to pry information from people. The only judicial use of torture was to force the person to stand trial as opposed to confessing to a crime.

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@Hotshotter3000

I guess it's hard to say how often it was used since we have no actual proof either way. I wouldn't be surprised if it were common than thought to be but kept very hushed by the church and or monarchy of the day

[leakybean]

@Hotshotter3000 I haven't seen this series, but I would assume that this was Thomas Cromwell, who served in Henry's court up until he was executed for treason in 1540.

I'm not a smart-arse but have just finished a book called Wolf Hall, which is based on him.

[bigmanoooo1]

@Hotshotter3000 oliver cromwell was in the 17th century but the guy in this scene is thomas cromwell who was henry the 8ths adviser

[englishguy2010]

Although the two Cromwells were indeed related :) Oliver was Thomas's great great grandnephew

[Hotshotter3000]

@bigmanoooo1 OK, I understand, I confused the two Cromwell's. Now please stop pelting it with redundant comments.

[bigmanoooo1]

@Hotshotter3000 pelting you? i only posted one comment and i cant be held responsible for other people telling you the same thing can i?

[englishguy2010]

Oliver Cromwell was in the 17th century. The Cromwell in THIS video is THOMAS Cromwell - Henry VIII's chief minister.

[pleasendlost]

@Hotshotter3000 Hes Thomas Cromwell, different guy

[dude12394]

this is just another reason i dont belive in god

[xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx]

@dude12394 Jesus is love

[dude12394]

@xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx prove it

[xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx]

@dude12394 well...Jesus never hated nor does he now he only loves although he disapproves of acts such as this

[dude12394]

@xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx then why do people kill other people in the name of the lord?

[xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx]

@dude12394 power corrupts, these men are...not ideal Christians, difficult to explain since no one is a "perfect Christian" but one reads the Bible and understands it would understand that the Bible does not excuse such behavior especially in the name of God

[dude12394]

@xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx so your saying that people act stupid because they dont know what they are doing or what god wants?

[xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx]

@dude12394 God wants you to love him above all things and for you to love each other as your self, simple yet some people blatantly disregard this but truthfully I have no idea why, you might want to ask a Pastor or historian, but think, Christianity isnt the only religion that has killed people, and for that matter religion isnt the only reason people kill others for

ps. If you want to know about the Crusades, they werent really fought primarily over religion, look it up

[dude12394]

@xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx ya i know christianity isn't the only religon but think about it, it is one  of the main one that has lots of people willing to do anything for it even kill just to protect it

[xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx]

@dude12394 Kill for Christianity? I haven't heard of such radicals in a long time

[danxtur]

Wonder what they would have to do it they did find out that he was innocent

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

@danxtur

in the series, and possibly real life as well, they didn't think he was guilty. They simply used him in order to have Anne Boleyn "removed", thus if they tortured him to the point that he'd just agree to saying he slept with her they could charge her with treason

[danxtur]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn oh, that is just cruel.
