Best Medieval weapon?
The Saw
Not all torture weapons during the medieval period were elaborate devices. Some were common tools like the saw, which was used as a method to draw out confessions from heretics. To add to the pain and humiliation, many of those who faced this sort of torture were suspended upside down with a saw placed at the crotch, where the sawing would begin downward toward the abdomen, occasionally all the way to the head.
