The Scold's Bridle History
Meet the scold's bridle: a medieval device designed to silence 'troublesome' women. It featured an iron cage for the head and a spiked bit that. Women were paraded through town squares as public punishment for gossip or complaining. If she spoke, the spikes would pierce her tongue—a brutal deterrent against free. Eventually abolished in the late 1600s, leaving behind a dark chapter in history.
