The Spanish Donkey


So apparently the Spanish were really sick people, which I was not aware of, because there are a TON of torture devices that begin with "Spanish." The next one that I'm going to talk about is the Spanish donkey. It was a device made up of a board and two cross boards at the bottom. A victim would be forced to "ride" the board as if it were a donkey. As they were "riding" the donkey, weights would be put on their feet to weigh them down. Apparently it's really painful, but luckily I'll never know (hopefully...).

That does sound very painful! I wonder how people thought of these kind of things, I had no idea that there were so many things invented to torture people!
