The Middle Ages were infamous for their cruel and unusual punishments, but few methods were as humiliating and excruciating as the Donkey Punishment.

In this video, we dive deep into the dark history of Donkey Punishment, exploring its origins, the mechanics behind this gruesome form of torture, and the psychological impact it had on both victims and the medieval societies that witnessed it.
Watch until the end as we uncover why this brutal punishment was more than just physical it was a tool of control, fear, and degradation. We’ll explore how it reflected the darker side of medieval justice and the lessons we can take from it in today’s world.
