medieval punishments
types of punishments
When you visit the medieval times, make sure you obey the law at all times. If you don't obey the law then things like this will happen. The stocks- stocks were wooden blocks with a hole for the head and the hands. They were used for smaller punishments like stealing. Most peasants were the main offenders because they didn't have enough to money to buy there own things. The offender was locked in the stock and put on public display just to humiliate them infront if the whole village. And enemy of the victim locked in the sticks would come past and cut off a hand and there was nothing the victim could do because they could barley move in the stocks. Eventually if they had there hand cut off they would die from loss of blood.
