Scavenger’s daughter was an execution method which is known to have been invented during the time of King Henry VIII of England. It is clear from the ancient texts that the device was rarely used and was only used for crimes which were henious in nature.
As shown in the image above, scavenger’s daughter worked by strapping the head of the victim to A frame shaped metal rack on the top of A. The hands of the victim were then tied to a midpoint and legs basically were separated ans spread at the end of point A. The body was compressed from both the sides pushing the knees in a sitting position and head in opposite direction of the knees.
This resulted in blood running from the nose and the ears of the victim. In a more general sense, the body of the victim was compressed which resulted in damaging the muscles and joints and also resulted in blood flowing from nose and ears.
Have you ever heard about this torture device or have heard about any device that was similar in action ?
