The Renaissance most generally refers to a historic European period between the 14th and 17th centuries CE. It is the successor of the Middle Ages.
This time showed a great leap culturally and socially, including massive developments in artistic, scientific and mathematical fields. Whilst today the Renaissance is still revered as an amazing leap in human development, it has many other meanings, including with certain spanking and corporal punishment cultures. Some of the many technological developments that are still applied in certain subcultures today include:
- Stocks These were commonly used to restrain a person's feet for public humiliation and possibly beating. Today, they are often used for tickling. Often used with other restraints.
- Pillory Similar to the stocks, the most common model had the offender standing up, with their hands and neck restrained. Still fairly common at certain fairs, especially at certain events that allow some to throw objects at the restrained.
- Scold's bridle This device was used to bar the tongue of women who insulted or otherwise verbally harassed other men. A predecessor to the modern gag.
- Shrew's fiddle This device is similar to the pillory, although it restrains the hands in front, as opposed to the sides.
