Coil (torment)
See also: Wheel (homonymy)
The wheel is the name of old a Supplice, where condemned, attached on a horizontal wheel, saw itself breaking the members by the Bourreau.
Presentation
One attached condemned to a wheel charged with sharp-edged peaks and one installed another line of peaks per ground. Then one made turn the wheel, and the belly or the back of the person was skinned.Used in Europe as from the 16th century, the torture of the wheel differed from description above: condemned was attached on a Cross of Saint-Andrew equipped with notches over the length. At these places, the torturer struck the members with an iron bar to break them. Then it smashed the chest of a great blow. It then attached the torture victim, arm and legs folded up under him, on a wheel assembled on an axle and left it thus exposed until dead follows from there. It was, in particular, the torment reserved to the brigands, whose example can be Louis Mandrin in 1755.
