A medieval cage most commonly refers to a gibbet, an iron cage used for the public exhibition of executed criminals. While pop culture heavily associates medieval cages with torture, their primary historical functions were far more grounded in public law and humiliation.The Gibbet (Hanging Cage)Purpose: After a criminal was executed, their body was sometimes placed inside an iron cage custom-molded to the human form.Placement: The cage was hung from a tall pole, bridge, or church spire (such as the famous cages at St. Lambert's Church in Münster, Germany).Deterrence: The bodies were left to rot or desiccate as a stark, gruesome visual deterrent to others. The practice, called gibbeting, persisted into the 18th and 19th centuries
