It was to store people in a position that was totally unnatural and leave them in that position for long periods of time, either lying on the ground, standing up bend over or even in a hanging version right side up or upside down. Their joints would freeze and lock up due to not being able to stand, stretch or straighten at all and when released from this device after days or weeks the pain would be immersuable when these joints then would be straightend on the rack.....it would also naurally shorten tendons and overextend other tendons from all while being stuck in the device.....

Remember that torture during the Tudor Era was not simply to obtain information or to establish guilt; Often this was secondary to simply obtaining a confession. Henry VIII was not shy about simply using a bill of attainder and bypassing nuisances like trials completely. Thousands were executed this way.
You are correct. From descriptions read elsewhere I believe the S.D was the large hooped device to compress a kneeling prisoner by pushing his rib cage on to his thighs and his thighs on to his lower legs in a sort of Z shape. This confusion is frequent in torture descriptions. The other A frame device is really just a form of leg and arm irons.
The worst one in my opinion is the one where they put a man in a barrel but with his head being outside, the person was only feed milk and honey. What happened was that they were eaten by maggots. The person that lived the longest lived for 14 days before he died.
It seems very crud, but I'm with you, I'm having difficulty understanding how it works, I don't see how this device, puts a victim as shown, folded up. Who/what spends the time to come up with such torture devices, what kind of mind set do you have, to come up with shit like this! I can't imagine how scared a spouse might be living with a person who spends time dreaming up things like this; walk softly, tread lightly and don't do anything to piss him off!
That is exactly my take from it too. There was a case with one of these torture devices, where the guy who invented it, was the second guy to ever be put in it. I think it was because the king simply found it 'too cruel', after seeing the effects on the first victim. I guess he figured it would be a fair punishment for the inventor to feel it himself. I even think it was the king, who ordered it built, in the first place. I do not have the facts straight, but something along those lines. I believe it was in greece. - Please excuse my punctuation and spelling.
This is why it’s important to nurture and maintain an empathetic, civil society, based on law rather than stratification. Keep those evil human instincts at bay. ... instead of attitudes like “I’d torture even if it doesn’t work!”. Remember that quote? 🤔
@@MegaMech en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_warfare So invaluable that it's been used since antiquity and is banned internationally today not because it's useless but the opposite.. It's too effective. "Biological weapons possess destructive potential and loss of life far in excess of nuclear, chemical or conventional weapons. Accordingly, biological agents are potentially useful as strategic deterrents, in addition to their utility as offensive weapons on the battlefield."
@@Gortinthefields 1) You misinterpreted what I meant. I'll define what I meant further. 2) That quote is completely wrong and was written by someone who doesn't comprehend viruses. Editing a virus for biological use is simply impossible. Equipment just to see viruses do not exist and therefore we cannot even edit them. Current methods require scaling the virus up which destroys it in the process. Any country unleashing a virus on an enemy in-doing so is unleashing it on themselves. It's also impossible to create an antidote for an impossible to manufacture disease. As soon as you release the virus it's going to mutate and as such the antidote will no longer be effective. Biowarfare is not a legitimate threat to human existance unless a world leader was an absolute f'ing moron and thought himself and his country were somehow immune to the consequences. Covid is a great example. Hypothetically, if China had intentionally released covid into the world. They certainly released it on themselves. Which would have to be among the top ten dumbest things people have ever done. Which is why no one will ever use biological warfare.

Interesting fact: The device with the neck, arm and leg holes was a variant of the circular version called ‘The Stork’ and was designed to hold a prisoner for a longer period of time in a horrifically uncomfortable position instead of crushing.
At least Have a few diagrams of what a person would look like in the device. There is no reason to have lots of photos of unnecessary places and videos that have nothing to do with this device. I love the channel and love the videos but this one unfortunately falls way too short. Thanks
Or better yet, photos of popular figures in the device. Disgraced athletes and way past their prime (but oblivious to the fact) entertainers come to mind.
Do you mind sharing the name of the museum? I'd like to see it one day. I find the darkest parts of humanity, like torture devices and concentration camps, to be fascinating and highly educational.

Now that you have mentioned the tower of London several times, here's an interesting fact. The last prisoner in the Tower of London was Rudolf Hess. Interestingly enough, he was also the last prisoner of Spandau. Amazing video though. I've heard of many medieval torture devices such as the rack, the eye gouger and the thumb screws. But this was something totally unheard of.
The device where you are crouched actually used wedges at the top so the more your wedged the more it closed you in on your self pushing your chest and top thighs together making it more difficult to breathe absolutely horrific.
This video leaves a lot of questions that could have been easily explained such as where are the scribblings on the wall you’re talking about and how does this scavengers daughter really work?When I visited the tower I asked the guards were all of the torture devices were in the dungeons and they said there is no such thing and never was
In medieval times they must have spent half their time thinking up the most horrific torture devices possible. Even the Nazis didn't think up some of this shit!
@OrganicOrganist Are you lacking some grey matter? There's no "point". I simply made a comment about how horrific some tortures were in the Middle Ages. What's YOUR point?
@OrganicOrganist You must have had to use Wikipedia to confirm some of those facts, did you. You're nothing but a troll, trying to prove how "intelligent" you are. The video begins with a direct reference to the medieval times, and I used Middle Ages in my last comment in a minor oversight. But if it makes you happy, I'll revise my original comment. "In renaissance times, specifically the reign of Henry VIII, they must have spent half their time thinking up the most horrific torture devices possible." There...Feel better?
@OrganicOrganist Two university degrees (B.A and B.Ed.) history major with English minor, 32 years teaching, author of a book of local history. I read NOTHING but history, and have a library exceeding 300 books. I think I'm qualified to chat about history. Nobody on this end of the conversation is "simplifying or perverting history." Get yourself off that self-righteous pedestal and take a look once again at the original comment. There was no harm meant, you just read more into it, and that's you problem, not mine.
@OrganicOrganist Remember...You were the one who passed judgement on a simple little post that I made, and asked a rude question "What is your point?" Yours was an over-reaction that angered me, and now, you're asking why I feel the need to present my qualifications. I do not pretend to be "the" go-to expert in all historical matters, but I have read enough to pass comment. I was in no way attempting to minimize the horrors of WWII, if that's what you think. Mine was just a simple off-the-cuff observation of the inhumanity of an era long, long gone. I hope you understand my point.
It is shit like this, that took place once upon a time, which completely discusses me and troubles me to no ends. If there is a hell they deserve to be there.
So the head was attached to the top and this could be pushed forward, whilst the body which was tied to the middle and legs to the bottom, could be pushed backwards. There’s very few pictures online with the device, but it’s similar to the other style scavengers daughter which you can see in the thumbnail. Thanks for your comment mate :)
A lot of devices and tools were named ‘the x’s daughter’ for centuries. It was just one more weirdass part of the sadistic glee. Getting whipped tied to the anchor pull onboard 18th c sailing ships was called ‘f**** the bosun’s daughter’, and the cat o nine tails was euphemised as ‘the captain’s daughter’. It’s sick humor.
It was torture not because it compressed you but because it keeps you locked in a position without movement for hours on end leading to lactic acid buildup and burning pain in the muscles
I'm still not used to the idea, the use, let alone the practice - of being able to Google anything 24/7 ! I'm old school. It still feels weird. I was thinking, I studied medieval European torture methods ~ 15th through 19th centuries. Never let be said your brain cannot be scarred. "How many people' I'd think to myself, "how many people were dismembered and crushed and impaled and literally burned alive, - out of the 'guilty' " ? Methods number in the hundreds. Look at human history. Has goodness ever prevailed. No. Not once. But time and again, horrible horrible Evil has. So my question is
It is no wonder that the souls of deceased royals and torturers are condemned to eternal hauntings, no rest for them, no reunions with their long-lost loved ones, no end to their misery and pains.
Sometimes that didn't save you from being tortured. It was sometimes used as a punishment, and as a means of execution. They simply tortured you to death.
Actually It wasn’t so much the compression itself. What they would do was put prisoners in this frame and this was perhaps in itself not too painful, per se, at first, but they would leave them in it, in that hunched position for days on end. Sometimes they would be pu in a niche in the wall only just big enough to contain a person in this contorted position, and left there until it was time to question them again..
I still think the bronze or brazen bull is the worst cooked to death and the air tube is to entertain the croud as the cries will sound like a bull as the tube was made to bellow the sound like a bull how scary is that
Do you blame the Father, who did all he could, when the sons commit crimes of cruelty? There is a reason for the curse God lay upon mankind. And Jesus Christ who took the curse upon his cross is prove to his love for us. Unfortunately so few people understand this no matter how clear it is, that WE are the evil ones that need redemption.
Yes, that is why Satan hates man so much. Satan himself is the inventor of these horrific devices. All he needs is a willing depraved vessel to put his ideas into action.
Hyperbolic feminist nonsense. I've had a fascination with all things medieval since childhood, including torture devices. I am far from an expert but your claim is wildly inaccurate.
Hey these videos are awesome and interesting and well made but mate your voice could use a little work. You have a high-low-medium intonation at the last three syllables of literally every sentence. It sounds like you're annoyed to be reading it. Try ending with medium or high, until then end of a paragraph, then do high medium low. Try it out once and see what you think
The people that devised these terrible means of torture should be the first to try them out 'the bad hearted bastards 'there is definitely bad people in the world 'and these guys 'didn't know how to be good 'all there exsistance was to suck up to the king or queen of the day ''really slimey good for nothing people with no morals
I wonder how people would recover from a spell in these devices. I know during Mary I there were 'Small Houses' which were tiny square metal cells hung like gibbets for people to be in for a spell to repent. Amazing that there were times when all this was considered normal.
i heard of some middle eastern torturers squeezing victims into a large truck tire and then they could roll them around and get to any body part they wanted to do things to . this is probably going on this very minute .
Cant understand torture to get a confession..Plead guilty which is what they want but how do they know they have the perp..He could still be out there??
A particularly cruel torturer wanted to inflict the maximum amount of pain on prisoners-so he came up with the idea of applying this Scavenger's Daughter device to the prisoner as they were being stretched on the rack! But his dastardly plan completely backfired! The torturer had failed to realise that adding the compressing would cancel out the stretching, and the prisoner would feel no pain at all! The torturer was subsequently hailed as having invented one of the most effective pain-relieving procedures anyone had devised up to that point, and would long be remembered as one of the kindest Saints in history! Which made it a complete mystery to people why he always seemed to be scowling a lot and looking frustrated.🤪😆
Crikey! Humans are the only creatures with such sick minds... and we thought cats were wicked creatures when they tortured mice before killing and eating them...
These devices were built by ancestors of people alive today! It shows just how savage and cruel humanity can be! It makes me ashamed to be human, and explains why any aliens out there wouldn't want to reveal themselves to us!
The example you show of the black metal A frame device does not appear to have any hinge on it, so don't see how it manages to "double you up' in ever increasing pressures. Something not right here with the explanation or the device shown.

@OrganicOrganist You must have had to use Wikipedia to confirm some of those facts, did you. You're nothing but a troll, trying to prove how "intelligent" you are. The video begins with a direct reference to the medieval times, and I used Middle Ages in my last comment in a minor oversight. But if it makes you happy, I'll revise my original comment. "In renaissance times, specifically the reign of Henry VIII, they must have spent half their time thinking up the most horrific torture devices possible." There...Feel better?
@OrganicOrganist Two university degrees (B.A and B.Ed.) history major with English minor, 32 years teaching, author of a book of local history. I read NOTHING but history, and have a library exceeding 300 books. I think I'm qualified to chat about history. Nobody on this end of the conversation is "simplifying or perverting history." Get yourself off that self-righteous pedestal and take a look once again at the original comment. There was no harm meant, you just read more into it, and that's you problem, not mine.
@OrganicOrganist Remember...You were the one who passed judgement on a simple little post that I made, and asked a rude question "What is your point?" Yours was an over-reaction that angered me, and now, you're asking why I feel the need to present my qualifications. I do not pretend to be "the" go-to expert in all historical matters, but I have read enough to pass comment. I was in no way attempting to minimize the horrors of WWII, if that's what you think. Mine was just a simple off-the-cuff observation of the inhumanity of an era long, long gone. I hope you understand my point.
@OrganicOrganist And all the very best to you as well.
I'm none the wiser.
It is shit like this, that took place once upon a time, which completely discusses me and troubles me to no ends. If there is a hell they deserve to be there.
The good old days! Nowadays you pay good money for this. To be fair, I doubt they had a 'safe word' back then
I’m doing this shi*for free, and they love it. I love my Masochist. But I could be getting paid?
In what ways does it fold? The a-frame looks pretty rigid. Do the various pieces in that numbered diagram fit together?
So the head was attached to the top and this could be pushed forward, whilst the body which was tied to the middle and legs to the bottom, could be pushed backwards. There’s very few pictures online with the device, but it’s similar to the other style scavengers daughter which you can see in the thumbnail. Thanks for your comment mate :)
@@TheUntoldPast that makes sense! Thanks for the content!
No worries :) thanks for the comment again :)
How did they come up with the name. Scavengers Daughter, must have a connotation to something.
Probably due to position you’re forced to be in. Like a scavenger on your knees looking for things.
Yeah, I think that should have been apart of this video tbh. Would've been interesting to learn.
I'm so confused about the two devices in this video. Which one is the Scavenger's Daughter?? You didn't really explain properly
3:47 is the start of a decent picture. The other device just added confusion to the video.
I was just about to post the same thing. Very confusing video!
They both are
the scavengers daughter must have been one hell of a horror to name this thing after her....hopefully they put her in here first for product testing.
Jj
A lot of devices and tools were named ‘the x’s daughter’ for centuries. It was just one more weirdass part of the sadistic glee. Getting whipped tied to the anchor pull onboard 18th c sailing ships was called ‘f**** the bosun’s daughter’, and the cat o nine tails was euphemised as ‘the captain’s daughter’. It’s sick humor.
Fun fact. The rack when slowly applied would break bones before dislocation.
It was torture not because it compressed you but because it keeps you locked in a position without movement for hours on end leading to lactic acid buildup and burning pain in the muscles
the rotten negative shite that creates that form of pain. can you imagine having to be romantic with one of these?
you are mixing things up here. one is a compression device and the other is a fixation device - you are somehow making one thing of it
The inquisitions here and its here to stay. Thanks Mel Brooks
I'm still not used to the idea, the use,
let alone the practice - of being able to Google anything 24/7 ! I'm old school.
It still feels weird.
I was thinking, I studied medieval European torture methods ~ 15th through 19th centuries. Never let be said your brain cannot be scarred.
"How many people' I'd think to myself,
"how many people were dismembered and crushed and impaled and literally burned alive, - out of the 'guilty' " ?
Methods number in the hundreds.
Look at human history. Has goodness ever prevailed. No. Not once.
But time and again, horrible horrible
Evil has. So my question is
Brutal torture device? Most tweakers are in this position for days at a time by their own free will.🤣
Ahhh the good old days. Followed by the golden age days of ww1 and 2.
Now WE have Corona.
I am Happy to Life in the age of Corona.
It is no wonder that the souls of deceased royals and torturers are condemned to eternal hauntings, no rest for them, no reunions with their long-lost loved ones, no end to their misery and pains.
Actually torture could only be used in certain cases and only by Royal Warrant.....thanks to the Magna Carter
Which, of course, depended on your station in society.
Did Magna Carter die in vain?
Not a phone in sight...
I'de spill the beans long before I was tortured.
Sometimes that didn't save you from being tortured. It was sometimes used as a punishment, and as a means of execution. They simply tortured you to death.
@@howardsmith9342 You're right.
Every line has the same inFLECtion
I always think of the kind of mind that comes up with these methods.
Actually It wasn’t so much the compression itself. What they would do was put prisoners in this frame and this was perhaps in itself not too painful, per se, at first, but they would leave them in it, in that hunched position for days on end. Sometimes they would be pu in a niche in the wall only just big enough to contain a person in this contorted position, and left there until it was time to question them again..
Such a shameful legacy a legacy of psychopathy.
I still think the bronze or brazen bull is the worst cooked to death and the air tube is to entertain the croud as the cries will sound like a bull as the tube was made to bellow the sound like a bull how scary is that
This is what should be used on people who don't like Kangaroo Jack.
I married the scavenger's daughter. Now he's my father-in-law.
A bit of info. Torture was outlawed in the Magna Carter in 1315 and lieutenant is pronounced left-tenant unless your American or French
English pronunciation of lieutenant is "left tenant". Same as in Australian Army 🇦🇺
Best to speak it as it's meant to spoken.

Surprisingly, the English language was invented by the English people, so I’m more inclined to go with their way.
And man is God's creation. Well done!
Do you blame the Father, who did all he could, when the sons commit crimes of cruelty? There is a reason for the curse God lay upon mankind. And Jesus Christ who took the curse upon his cross is prove to his love for us. Unfortunately so few people understand this no matter how clear it is, that WE are the evil ones that need redemption.
Yes, that is why Satan hates man so much. Satan himself is the inventor of these horrific devices. All he needs is a willing depraved vessel to put his ideas into action.
Some demons from Hell devised these torture devices.
In the United Kingdom it's pronounced Lef-tenant and not Loo-tenant.
They typically gave it 'woman' name.
Because men have been tortured by women since Eve 😏
Woman have been tortured by men since religion.
Hyperbolic feminist nonsense.
I've had a fascination with all things medieval since childhood, including torture devices. I am far from an expert but your claim is wildly inaccurate.
Hey these videos are awesome and interesting and well made but mate your voice could use a little work. You have a high-low-medium intonation at the last three syllables of literally every sentence. It sounds like you're annoyed to be reading it. Try ending with medium or high, until then end of a paragraph, then do high medium low. Try it out once and see what you think
The people that devised these terrible means of torture should be the first to try them out 'the bad hearted bastards 'there is definitely bad people in the world 'and these guys 'didn't know how to be good 'all there exsistance was to suck up to the king or queen of the day ''really slimey good for nothing people with no morals
I wonder how people would recover from a spell in these devices. I know during Mary I there were 'Small Houses' which were tiny square metal cells hung like gibbets for people to be in for a spell to repent. Amazing that there were times when all this was considered normal.
How cruel where these people lets hope they are rotting in hell inflicting that type of torture ,horrible human beings or devils .
Now, children... this is what the Founders of the United States meant by cruel and unusual.
i heard of some middle eastern torturers squeezing victims into a large truck tire and then they could roll them around and get to any body part they wanted to do things to . this is probably going on this very minute .
Device was a.k.a. ‘Skeffington’s Gyves’
a.k.a. Skevington's gyves, as iron shackle, as the Stork (as in Italian cicogna) or as Spanish A-frame. Further it is known as Skevington's daughter,
Humans are an absolutely brutal species
Who in the name of God dreamed up these devices !!!!!!!!!!!!???????? 😳
ahhhhhh, the good ole days
God just hearing about this makes me never want to commit crime.
Cant understand torture to get a confession..Plead guilty which is what they want but how do they know they have the perp..He could still be out there??
They're not really looking for the perp. They're looking for an excuse to do whatever they want with the person they already have.
Holes filled with waste? Sanfrancisco
Just spotted one on eBay..one careful owner ,starting bid £2.99
A particularly cruel torturer wanted to inflict the maximum amount of pain on prisoners-so he came up with the idea of applying this Scavenger's Daughter device to the prisoner as they were being stretched on the rack! But his dastardly plan completely backfired! The torturer had failed to realise that adding the compressing would cancel out the stretching, and the prisoner would feel no pain at all! The torturer was subsequently hailed as having invented one of the most effective pain-relieving procedures anyone had devised up to that point, and would long be remembered as one of the kindest Saints in history! Which made it a complete mystery to people why he always seemed to be scowling a lot and looking frustrated.🤪😆
Crikey! Humans are the only creatures with such sick minds... and we thought cats were wicked creatures when they tortured mice before killing and eating them...
The truly painful exPERience is listening to the narrator of the VIDeo use the same inflexion for every SENTence.
These devices were built by ancestors of people alive today! It shows just how savage and cruel humanity can be! It makes me ashamed to be human, and explains why any aliens out there wouldn't want to reveal themselves to us!
The example you show of the black metal A frame device does not appear to have any hinge on it, so don't see how it manages to "double you up' in ever increasing pressures. Something not right here with the explanation or the device shown.
These places must hella haunted by the screams of the victims...
In Germany this device was called Storch (stork) ;)
The oublette is way more frightening than this
The bottle shaped dungeon called the obliette or something was a pretty terrible invention.
