~ heretic's fork ~

With the four sharp points rammed deep into theflesh under the chin and into the bone of the sternum, the fork prevented all movement of the head and allowed the victim only to murmur, in a barely audible voice. On one side of the fork "I recant" is written, which they are suppose to say and if they refused, they were either taken to the stake or they were hung or burnt.
