What is the difference between a dungeon and a oubliette?
The term oubliette is derived from the French word oublier, meaning to forget; an oubliette is a place where people are put and forgotten, which is to say, never released. Typically it is designed so that it can only be entered from the top, and otherwise has no windows or doors. It is basically a hole in which people can be put. Dungeon, on the other hand, is a more general term for any place of imprisonment and/or torture, traditionally located in the basement of a castle. It is not necessarily intended as a place from which there is no return (although that is a possibility).
What was a life like for a medieval prisoner?
Nothing like you see in Hollywood pictures or on television; furthermore, prison could mean several different things.One common (and fairly mild) form of imprisonment was to be confined in a castle. This is what happened to the Saxon monks of Canterbury who initially refused to accept a Norman Abbot, and later to the first group of Franciscan friars to arrive at Dover. It meant no more than being confined within the walls of the castle, otherwise prisoners could walk around the castle, enjoy the fresh air and even join in with meals and entertainment. Occasionally they were restricted to the "keep" or donjon - hence the modern expression "thrown into a dungeon", but it did not mean being kept in a cell.Most early castles had no cells or prison, so confinement within all or part of the castle was really the only option. Later castles might include a much more serious form of "jail" - an oubliette (literally a place to forget people). This was a stone-lined pit shaped a bit like an onion, with the only entrance a covered hatchway at the narrow top end. This pit would widen out at the bottom, but the only way in or out was by ladder. Here prisoners would be left to starve to death and forgotten about (such cases are very rare until after the medieval period).Castles were often converted into prisons after the medieval period (as at Canterbury in Kent and the Bastille in Paris), giving some people today the false idea that this is how they always operated.
What sort of crimes were people punished for in medieval times?
Punishment was very severe in the Middle Ages. Here are 2 punishments: Tie your hands and feet up and then drop you into a river if you sunk then you were innocent but if you floated then you were guilty OR Make you hold onto a burning iron bar and if the wound hadn't began to heal within 3 days then you were guilty As you can see many innocent people would have died Hope this Helps
