You wouldn't want to...be in a medieval dungeon

Macdonald, Fiona, 1958-2026
Books, Manuscripts
From filthy cells teeming with rats and lice to prisoners plotting escape, every day brings danger, stench, and the constant threat of disease. In this immersive, first-person narrative, readers experience the grim realities of medieval justice - torture devices, corrupt officials, innocent captives, and the harsh punishments meted out to traitors, thieves, and troublemakers. Packed with comic-style illustrations, fascinating historical facts, and 'Handy Hints' for survival, this title makes history irresistibly funny, gruesome, and unforgettable.
