Description
Your days as a battle-hardened soldier are over. You're broke, injured and desperate for work, so you take a job running the castle prison. But this is no cosy posting. From filthy cells teeming with rats and lice to prisoners plotting escape, every day brings danger, stench, and the constant threat of disease. Discover 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.
