What Medieval Europe Did to Cheating Wives Shocked Their Own Communities
They called it justice.
But what medieval Europe did to women accused of adultery was something far darker than punishment.
On a frost-covered morning in 1342, a scream tore through the streets of Toulouse. A woman named Elina, accused by a jealous husband with no proof, was learning what it meant to be property in a world designed by men. What followed wasn't a trial. It was systematic social annihilation designed to turn a human being into a walking warning.
Public stripping. Forced head shavings. Ritual drownings blessed by priests. Noses and ears sliced off by blacksmiths paid by the piece. Living tombs where women spent decades in silence, scratching prayers into stone walls with bloody fingernails.
From Germanic law codes prescribing mutilation to French fortress dungeons built for perpetual enclosure, from trial by ordeal records to witness testimonies buried for 800 years, this was a machine of control that destroyed countless women between the 11th and 15th centuries.
And the men who committed the same crime? A fine. Sometimes nothing at all.
