Best Answer

Punishments of the Middle Ages varied quite a lot from one time and place to another. In some cases, we would probably think them cruel. But in others they were fair and clearly designed to compensate victims more than to provide retribution.

There is a link below to a related question on crime and punishment, which has an answer providing more information. +++

The word is "torture" not "torcher" and that was to obtain information or confessions. Non-execution punishments were typically fines, jail, the stocks or pillory and flogging. Capital punishments were grisly, such as burning at the stake, hanging, beheading, and hanging, drawing and quartering.
