Tongue Screw, 1577
Bildnummer 12654404
| In 1557, Hans Bret, an Anabaptist, was sentenced to be burned at the stake. Before he was taken to his execution the executioner ordered him to put out his tongue. Over it he placed an iron clamp, then screwed it tight with a vice-screw over the tongue. He then burned the end of his tongue with a hot iron so that the tongue would swell and could not be withdrawn from the clamp. This tongue screw was to prevent Hans from speaking to the people when he was taken to the stake. Anabaptists were heavily persecuted during the 16th century and into the 17th century by both Protestants and Roman Catholics, largely because of their interpretation of scripture. They both persecuted the Anabaptists, resorting to torture and execution in attempts to curb the growth of the movement. | |
