Caning of women in pre-Revolutionary ParisDecember 22 2007 at 6:26 PM | Bozo |
| Does anyone have any info on the judicial caning of women of all classes in pre-French revolutionary Paris?
Apparently this was quite common as a punishment.
The cane appears to have been applied in public on the naked fundament except possibly in aristocratic cases where it might be applied in the Fortress or Castle.
There is definetly a record of at least one group being so punished.
However there is as far as I know no further mention of the practice during or after the French Revolution so it must have been allied with "The Tryanny"along with the Russian Knout and Catherine the Greats'flogging regime...??????
Im surprised that ladylike pretty aristocrats in incarceration awaiting the guillotine were not subjected to mis treatment like this.........but it appears they were treated relatively well.After all what would be the point in interrogation?There were no secrets etc to "discover". |
