POV: you felt lucky enough but you visited the Medieval Torture Museum
Pitchcapping is a method of torture where hot pitch or tar, commonly used for waterproofing ships, is poured into a conical paper cap and placed on a person's head, causing severe damage to the skin and tissue around the head. This practice has been used since classical antiquity, but gained notoriety during the suppression of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The victim's hair was usually shaved before pitchcapping, and the injuries sustained were similar to those of scalping. Other forms of pitchcapping involved pouring pitch or tar into a victim's orifices, which was typically fatal and used as a form of ex*****on. Another method involved smearing pitch onto cloth or paper and pressing it onto the head. Similar methods using hot liquids were used in ancient times for ex*****on. During the Irish Rebellion of 1798, pitchcapping was commonly used by British government forces, particularly against suspected rebels like Anthony Perry, a leader of the Wexford Rebellion.

Ex*****on by elephant
This torture method was more frequently used in South and Southeast Asia, especially in India. The most common way that the ex*****on by the elephant was carried out was for the beasts to crush their victim to death with brute force. Crimes for which they could be executed by an elephant were theft, tax evasion, and rebellion. Also, an elephant could be commanded to break a criminal’s limbs before ending his suffering by crushing his skull. the elephants were trained to slice criminals to pieces with “pointed blades fitted to their tusks”.In Sri Lanka, for instance, elephants have been fitted with sharp tips on their tusks. Instead of slicing their victims, the elephant would stab its victim, and then ""rearrange"" its victim's internal organs. In the former Kingdom of Siam (now Thailand), elephants were trained to toss their victims into the air before crushing them to death. In the Kingdom of Cochinchina (southern Vietnam), on the other hand, criminals were tied to a stake, whilst an elephant would charge into them, and crush them to death.

THRONE PADS
Medieval judges called this device "Throne". It was made as a shameful pillory but unlike the classic pilloryr there were two holes for feet in the board. The slanting seat of the chair made the man hang upside down. Thus,"Throne" was turned into an instrument of torture.
Long hanging upside down led to the blood constantly poured to the head, the vessels and capillaries burst, and the person suffered from severe pain and insanity. Sometimes it could lead to death. Simultaneously with this torture executors could use hot iron or whip.
Useless penalty for Frankenstein...

TORTURE BY SNAKES http://medievaltorturemuseum.com/ The legends of ancient India mention the hero Prahlada, who survived after snake bites due to the strength of his spirit. The biblical character Joseph drove off poisonous reptiles with the help of prayer. But these are best case scenarios. Most often, a person would be left in a tight space with hungry and angry snakes. They would die from venomous bites. Depending on the strength of the poison and the number of bites, agony can last from minutes to several days. To interrogate the prisoner, he would be tied up and slowly lowered into a snake pit on a rope, and if he gave out the necessary information - they raised him back. When a person had to be intimidated or tested, the torturers used non-venomous snakes. Execution by snakes was widespread not only in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, but also during World War II, when the Japanese military tortured similarly captured prisoners from South Asia.

THE PENDULUM Edgar Alan Poe described the horror of being under the Pendulum in his story "The Pit and the Pendulum". How did the "pendulum" work? The torture would lasts longer as the iron blade which was fixed as high as possible under the ceiling of the room would swing back and forth. Using a special mechanism such as ones founded in old clocks alowing the pendulum to lower with each swing, rocking from side to side for hours, days even until finally reached the bottom. The victims on the bench would not die from being cutting in half but rather from the pain, the shock and a loss of blood. Can you imagine how the person must feel lying beneath the blade, slowly coming closer and closer? They often went insane before the blade have touched their body. http://medievaltorturemuseum.com/
