Why were people torture in Dark Ages?

AnswerIn some countries people are tortured today. Think also of the dictatorships of the 1900s. The reasons include terrorizing the population and extracting confessions. MoreThe reasons for torture were the same in the middle ages as they are today, and were as the answer above indicates. There are some misconceptions about the middle ages, however, and they should be understood. First of all, torture was not as common as people might imagine. There were papal injunctions against it and after the 13th century clergy were prohibited from being involved in any proceedings that included torture.Ecclesiastical courts were not permitted to torture people during much of the middle ages, but they could be appealed to by people who were qualified for them. These included any clergy, and since clergy were hard to identify, legally they were defined as anyone who could read. In England, passing a standard test qualified any person accused for ecclesiastical court, and the test was to read the 51st Psalm.Also, in most of Europe, for most of the middle ages, criminals and fugitives could find sanctuary in monasteries and churches, which meant that anyone who was worried about it, or about any sort of abuse, could get refuge.Clearly torture was used, and there were kings and even dynasties well known for its use. But it was not always used, and it was frowned upon in those days by many people just as it is today.The crimes for which torture was used were those the authorities most wanted to discourage. Possibly the most important was treason, though this was broadly defined in those days.
