The Middle Ages (82) : Prison guard

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

No castle without prison and no prison without guard....

Imprisonment was not a usual punishment in the Middle Ages. Most prisoners were kept awaiting a mock trial, a penalty, a corporal punishment or death.

Photographed at medieval festival of castle Reinhardstein (Robertville, Belgium).
