Answer:

The period known as the Middle Ages stands out as one­ of ­the most violent eras in history. This epoch, lasting roughly 1,0­00­ years, from the fifth century to the 15th­, was a time of great inequality and brutality in much of Europe.

Torturers seemed to reserve special horrors for women. Surprisingly, few torturers had­ any reservations about torturing women -- in fact, women-only tortures often seemed especially cruel and were designed to destroy specific aspects of femininity. In medieval England, differing torture practices were virtually codified: male criminals were hanged, while women faced the "drowning pits".

The practice of torturing women sexually extends back to Roman times (and surely even before then). Female victims were given to soldiers to be raped, or sent to brothels. They might be tied up or paraded through public streets naked. These public humiliations were sometimes followed by bizarre sexual mutilations. Torturers had a strange fixation on breasts, which were burned, branded or simply amputated. Worst of all was a device known as the Breast Ripper. It was a metal claw that pierced the flesh of the breast. The victim was tied to a wall, and then the claw pulled forcibly away, shredding the breast to pieces [source: Medieval Times & Castles]. It was used as both a method of punishment and interrogation — to mark the breasts of unmarried mothers and mutilate women convicted of heresy, adultery and a host of other crimes.

Answer:

Torture in the Medieval Inquisition began in 1252 with a papal bull Ad Extirpanda and ended in 1816 when another papal bull forbade its use. Although the torture that was sanctioned by the bull was less severe than the torture that could be found in contemporary secular courts.

How did Ellis Island differ from Angle Island? *
JulijaS [17]
B. Immigrants left Ellis Island within hours; they often remained in Angel Island for weeks.

Immigrants in Angel Island came from Asian countries, specifically, China, Japan, Russia, and South Asia. Upon arriving in Angel Island, they have to undergo medical examination and interrogation process.

The length of time an immigrant spend on Angel Island varies on the length of his or her interrogation process. Some immigrants produce false paperwork, which lengthened their interrogation process because the authenticity of said paperwork must be verified before they can be granted entry to the United States.
