Best Answer

Torture was not used as a form of entertainment legally anywhere during the Middle Ages. It was condemned by the Church during much of the Middle Ages, and in those countries where it was used, it was usually reserved for the worst of crimes. There were times when large numbers of people were tortured in one way or another, but these were not usual and were seldom for entertainment.

There were a few rulers who may have tortured people because they were sadistic and enjoyed hurting people. Vlad the Impaler is probably the best known example. He was not really medieval, however, and his rule began just about the time the Middle Ages were ending.
