THE INQUISITION
by Ann
PALERMO - SPRING 1362
Elizabeth was a young and very pretty woman. Her long red curly hair and shapely figure had often caught the attention of the single men in the village. But it was one man in particular whose attention she desired. The problem lay in the fact that Jeremiah was married. He was very faithful and, although noticing her beauty, never gave her more than a passing glance. Elizabeth was determined that she would have him to herself, no matter what it took.
For months Elizabeth planned her days in such a way that she would encounter Jeremiah often. It was obvious to all around that she was attempting to steal this good man away from his wife and children. She would posture and pose, batting long eyelashes at him and making suggestive remarks. Jeremiah chose to ignore her advances, not wishing to submit her to the punishment he knew would be received if her offenses were known. On one occasion, however, she went so far as to ridicule Jeremiah's wife publicly. She also openly demanded that he leave his wife and take her to himself. Since there were so many witnesses, this latest and most blatant offense could not be passed by.
ROME - SEPTEMBER 1362
Bishop Guido, the head prefect of the Holy Inquisition, sat upon his throne ready to hear the case that had been brought before him. Word of the incident had already reached his ears. But, being a fair and holy man, he did not give any credence to the rumors. He would hear for himself the testimony of the witnesses and pass judgment according to his conscience. It was always his prayer that the judgments he passed would be in keeping with God's will and prove to be the necessary remedy to return a prodigal to a faithful and moral life.
The crowd gathered in the square was large and potentially unruly. Several villagers from Palermo had come to bear witness to this woman's ongoing offenses. Before beginning the proceedings, Bishop Guido ordered that additional guards be posted to keep order, lest things get out of hand. Then, he addressed the crowd.
"It is the duty of this Holy Inquisition to determine if offense against the faith and morals of Holy Mother Church has been committed. If it is determined that an offense has indeed occurred, then it is our duty to help the sinner repent and regain the faith.", the Bishop explained. "This is a sacred task, not to be taken lightly. Anyone who bears false witness or otherwise interferes with these proceedings will, themselves, be subjected to the judgment of this office.
Satisfied that he had made his point clear, Bishop Guido then ordered that the prisoner be brought forward. Elizabeth was led to a stand in the center of the square, her wrists bound behind her back. Her dress was tattered and torn from the struggle she had put up when arrested. Yet, she'd remained defiant, glaring at her accusers. She jerk her arms away from the guiding hands of the guards, spitting at one. It was apparant to all that she was unrepentant.
After advising the witnesses of their duty before God, Bishop Guido first called forward the parish priest of Palermo, Fr. the Ambrozetti. One by one, witnesses concurred as to the details of the inappropriate behavior exhibited by Elizabeth. The same witnesses also testified to the impeccable behavior of Jeremiah in ignoring her advances. Jeremiah himself was the last to testify. He stated clearly, but without resentment, the facts of the events that had taken place over the last several months.
Throughout the previous testimonies, Elizabeth had stood stoicly, awaiting her opportunity to speak. However, when Jeremiah to the stand, she refused to keep her tongue. Repeatedly, she had to be silenced by the court, finally being gagged. After all the testimony had been heard, the gag was removed and the prisoner questioned. It was then that the seriousness of the situation became apparant.
Elizabeth clearly stated her opinion that Jeremiah had been meant for her and that, though already wedded to another, she should have him. She did not know or care that this constituted adultery. Nor did she believe that he was not interested in her. At one point, she turned to him, saying that she knew that he wanted her and that she was determined to have him.
It was apparant to Bishop Guido and all present that this woman had no intention of repenting and that her offenses would grow with her every word. Replacing the gag in order to silence her, the guards stood on either side of Elizabeth. They'd done this enough times to know that a struggle was to be expected.
A murmer arose from the crowd as Bishop Guido stood to address them. Raising his hand to silence them, he spoke, "It is the unfortunate findings of this court that the accused is guilty and unrepentant of the charges brought before us. Lest she be abandoned to the eternal fires, it is my duty and that of this court to persuade her to repent. Because this is a grievous matter, the prisoner will be subject to tickle torture in the stocks where we hope to persuade her to repent.
Upon hearing this sentence of the court, Elizabeth screamed and struggled to escape. She had always been deathly ticklish and could not stand even a brief moment of tickling. The thought of ceaseless tickle torture terrified her. "Please! No!!! I've done nothing wrong!", she cried in protest. But, the lack of recognition of her offense only solidified the bishops resolve that this was a necessary action.
With considerable effort, the guards led Elizabeth to the stocks that were set up at the side of the square. She was placed in them, stretched out upon a hard wooden board. Her wrists were locked into a small set at the head of the board, while her ankles were locked into a somewhat larger set at its foot. All the while, Elizabeth screamed and begged for mercy.
The large crowd shifted to witness the torture that was about to take place. Jeremiah had chosen a position that he hoped would keep him out of her line of view. As Elizabeth was locked into place, the crowd pressed in upon the area surrounding the stocks.
Bishop Guido stepped forward to address Elizabeth a final time. "It is not our wish for you to suffer in this way. But you must recognize the seriousness of your offense. I must ask you one last time to repent of your actions."
Elizabeth squirmed around, attempting to spot Jeremiah. Catching site of him, she begged him to save her from her fate. Jeremiah remained silent and turned his back to her. The Bishop asked her one final time, "Do you repent?", to which she replied, "I will never repent of my love for him. I have NOTHING to repent of!"
Bishop Guido shook his head in sorrow and motion for the torturers to come forward. The guards moved into place to keep the crowd at a distance. Elizabeth screamed and pleaded, begging Jeremiah to save her. But, Jeremiah would not respond.
The torturers took their places at Elizabeth's feet, underarms and belly. Elizabeth's feet were now bare and unable to move. She looked on with horror, knowing that her torment was about to begin.
"Please, don't do this! I've done nothing wrong. How can you do this to me?", Elizabeth said. But her protest was to no avail. The torturers were not to be dissuaded from their duty.
At the first touch, the tickling sensations overwhelmed Elizabeth, prompting her to scream. As she thrashed, attempting to escape, she pleaded with her tormenters. "PLEASE!!! NOOOOO!!! PLEASE STOHAHAHAHAHAPPP!!! I CAN'T STAND IT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Though having been warned to not disrupt the proceedings, the crowd began to cheer on her tormenters. Bishop Guido instructed the guards to move the crowd to a safer distance from Elizabeth. Even as Elizabeth screamed and struggled to escape, the guards struggled to move back the crowd.
Order having finally been restored, the torturers picked up the pace on Elizabeth. Two concentrated on her underarms, one on her belly and one on each foot. As they tickled, Elizabeth continued to thrash and scream. But her efforts at escape were fruitless. Elizabeth's world now consisted of only one thing... ceaseless tickle torture.
The torturers, very much used to struggling and screaming victims, paid no heed to Elizabeth's protests. They simply went on... and on... and on with the never-ending torture. Though fully clothed except for her feet, there was no relief to be had by Elizabeth. The torturers continued their ceaseless tickling of Elizabeth with no end in sight. The one at her belly poked and kneaded, sending her into fits of hysterical laughter. The two under her arms tormented her in similar fashion, also getting at her ribcage. But, it was the ones at her feet that proved the true torture.
He Elizabeth's feet had always been hypersensitive. It took very little to send her over the edge. She had never been subjected to this kind of treatment, with large fluffy feathers dragged between her toes and over the tops, soles and ankles of her feet. The teasing touch of the feathers proved entirely too much for her and eventually she lost consciousness.
Awakening to a bucket of cold water being thrown in her face, Elizabeth found herself as before. Her momentary escape was but a brief reprieve from the torture. Bishop Guido stood by her side. One more time, he pleaded with her to repent. But, Elizabeth remained unrepentant, once again challenging Jeremiah to save her.
Bishop Guido, recognizing what would be necessary, instructed to torturers to continue as he spoke with Jeremiah privately. Upon their return, it was ordered that Jeremiah, himself, would undertake the duty of Elizabeth's torture. Since her feet for her worst weakness, Jeremiah took the place of the two guards there. They, in turn, moved up to her sides to continue their efforts. Now Elizabeth found herself in an even worse predicament.
Though Jeremiah was a good and gentle soul, he also happened to enjoy tickling it... especially tickling feet. In spite of Elizabeth's protest, he entered into her torture with ghusto. seeing HIM at her feet, Elizabeth entered into a new round of complaints.
"You see! He's come to free me.", Elizabeth exclaimed. "We are meant for each other. Even this court can't stop that. I told you we could never be apart. We hee hee hee ..."
Elizabeth's monologue was interrupted by overwhelming tickling sensations as Jeremiah started in on her feet. "This should prove to you that there is no place for You in my life. Your constant flirting and lies are disgrace to both of us."
With that, Jeremiah continued tickling, again sending Elizabeth into fits of hysterical laughter. He Elizabeth now had six torturers... one on her belly, one on each side, one under each arm and Jeremiah at her feet. But it was Jeremiah's tickling that destroyed her the most. the me and she'd pursued for ages was now her most ruthless torturer. He proved quite skilled to that foot tickling. He drove for nearly insane, alternating between the feathers stiff horsehair brushes and fingertips.
Elizabeth's screens of laughter could be heard throughout all of Rome as Jeremiah mercilessly tormented her feet. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH PLEASE!!! JEREMIAH!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEASE NO MORE!!!"
Jeremiah looked to Bishop Guido who ordered to tickling to cease. The Bishop again stepped forward, asking Elizabeth to repent. But Elizabeth's stubbornness caused her to remain defiant. "I will never repent! I have nothing to repent of!"
Again and again the Bishop pleaded with Elizabeth to repent. But still Elizabeth refused. Finally being left with no other choice, Bishop Guido reluctantly ordered that Elizabeth be tickled to death. After giving her a blessing he hoped she would receive, he ordered that the tickling begin.
Elizabeth linger for days, fading in and out of consciousness, never once giving an indication of willingness to repent. After her death Jeremiah returned home to his family. Never again did a woman in Palermo seek to estrange a man from his wife and children. For their part, Jeremiah and his family continued to enjoy the lighter side of tickling. Often their laughter could be heard from blocks around.
