Answer to Question 2

A number of punishments were used for criminals in medieval Europe. The most widely used were flogging and branding, torture, servitude as galley slaves, the gallows or other forms of execution, and banishment and transportation. The medieval punishment of flagellation was the act of whipping (Latin flagellum, whip) or flogging the human body with implements such as rods, switches, or the cat of nine tails.
