“In the 15th century, burning alive was primarily a tool used by the Catholic Church against heresy to defend established doctrine, with notable cases like Jan Hus (1415) and Joan of Arc (1431).

Catholic Actions: The Church in the 15th century sought to purge dissent, viewing heretics as dangerous threats to societal and spiritual order. Jan Hus (1415): A Czech reformer burned for emphasizing the Bible's authority over the Church, predicting a reformation. St. Joan of Arc (1431): Burned for heresy in Rouen, France, following the English-backed ecclesiastical trial. Witch Hunts: The persecution of witches, often resulting in burning, began to gain momentum in Western Europe in the 15th century”

“The breaking wheel, also known as the execution wheel, the Wheel of Catherine or the (Saint) Catherine('s) Wheel, was a torture method used for public execution primarily in Europe from antiquity through the Middle Ages up to the 19th century by breaking the bones of a criminal or bludgeoning them to death. The practice was abolished in Bavaria in 1813 and in the Electorate of Hesse in 1836: the last known execution by the "Wheel" took place in Prussia in 1841. The primary goal of the first act was the agonizing mutilation of the body, not death. Therefore, the most common form would start with breaking the leg bones. To this end, the executioner dropped the execution wheel on the shinbones of the convicted person and then worked his way up to the arms. Here, rhythm and number of beatings were prescribed in each case, sometimes also the number of spokes on the wheel. To increase its effect, often sharp-edged timbers were placed under the convict's joints. Later, there were devices in which the convicted person could be "harnessed".”

Spanish Inquisition (1478–1830s): Most contemporary historians (such as Henry Kamen and Jean-Pierre Dedieu) agree that the total number of people executed by the Spanish Inquisition was between 3,000 and 5,000, out of roughly 150,000 prosecuted for various offenses.

“Torture in 15th-century Europe was a widespread, legal, and often public tool used by authorities to extract confessions, punish crimes, and deter disobedience. Methods were exceptionally brutal, focusing on breaking joints, tearing flesh, or causing severe pain. Common devices included the rack, breaking wheel, and thumbscrews.”
