"The Wheel was one of the most excruciating methods of torture and execution practiced in medieval Europe, in that it was not only painful but also humiliating. Second only to hanging the wheel was the most prevalent means of execution employed throughout Germanic Europe from the early Middle Ages until the dawn of the eighteenth century. In this particular process the victim was forced to lie naked on the ground, with all four of his limbs spread out and bound to stakes or iron rings."More papers on Medieval Torture Techniques:
