= = =4. Summary=

While researching about crime and punishmnet in the middle ages, I learned that they tortured to get confessions, there were different levels of a punishment, and that a person's social status did affect their punishment. First of all, I learned that a person that was suspected commiting a crime, they would have been tortured. For example, having their tongue removed, nails and teeth ripped out, and being stretched out on a machine until they confessed. Next, I learned that what someone was affected how badly they were punished. Specifically, someone who was of a poorer class would would have been discriminated against and lords and higher officials were exempt. Lastly, I learned that there were different levels of punishment. To illustrate, someone would have been tickled, beaten, stretched, burned and boiled alive, cutting off limbs and other body parts, and decapitated. All in all, I learned quite a bit about my topic.
