A scold's bridle, sometimes called a witch's bridle, a gossip's bridle, a brank's bridle, or simply branks, was an instrument of punishment, as a form of public humiliation. It was an iron muzzle in an iron framework that enclosed the head (although some bridles were masks that depicted suffering). A bridle-bit (or curb-plate), about 2 in × 1 in (5.1 cm × 2.5 cm) in size, was slid into the mouth and pressed down on top of the tongue, often with a spike on the tongue, as a compress. It functioned to silence the wearer from speaking entirely, and caused extreme pain and physiological trauma to scare and intimidate the wearer into submission. The scold's bridle was overwhelmingly used on women, often at the request of husbands or other family members. This prevented speaking and resulted in m

  • Schandmasken waren im 17. Jahrhundert Instrumente zur Durchführung der Ehrenstrafe. Dem Verurteilten wurde eine Maske aufgesetzt, die er einen oder mehrere Tage tragen musste. Meist waren diese Masken aus Metall gefertigt und hatten das Aussehen eines abstrakten Tierkopfes mit spezifischen Merkmalen für das begangene Vergehen. So standen z. B. große Ohren an der Maske für eine Person, die lauscht, oder eine heraushängende Zunge für Geschwätzigkeit. Die Schandmaske ist weiter der Titel eines Buchs von Minette Walters. * Schandmaske, 18. Jh., Märkisches Museum Berlin * * * … in Vicosoprano * * (de)
  • La máscara o scold's bridle, era un instrumento usual con el cual se castigaba una larga lista de infracciones menores en la búsqueda de brujas o para silenciar a una mujer. Se trataba de un artilugio antiguamente utilizado en toda Inglaterra y Escocia para el castigo de las llamadas "mujeres regañonas". No estuvo legalizada pero las corporaciones, señores, barones, tribunales, ayuntamientos y la iglesia lo utilizaban para castigar a las mujeres para callarlas por supuestamente ser chismosas o utilizar lenguaje abusivo.​ Miles de mujeres fueron humilladas y atormentadas, así el poder eclesiástico exponía el escarnio público a los desobedientes y a las inconformistas. De esta manera, se silenciaba tanto a las mujeres como a la disidencia religiosa.​ (es)
  • Un masque de honte, ou masque de la honte, est un masque que devait porter une personne déclarée coupable d'un délit mineur. L'exhibition de ce signe d'infamie constituait une punition. Cette pratique a perduré en Europe puis en Amérique du Nord depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu'au XIXe siècle. Le masque de honte, moins douloureux que le carcan ou le marquage au fer rouge, était perçu comme une peine légère. Dans le Nouveau Monde, ce procédé servait aussi de mesure répressive à l'égard des esclaves africains dans les plantations du Sud. (fr)
