During much of the Middle Ages, medieval dungeons held political prisoners,
rivals to the king or a lord, generally to die. Not so for common criminals,
generally, who were publicly punished. They might be locked in stocks, for
example, which were low wooden frames with holes into which prisoners put
their feet. Or they might have their heads in arms locked in pillories
(similar to stocks), or they might be flogged. If a common criminal were
kept in a medieval dungeon, or any other sort of prison, it would normally
be for a fairly short period, until his trial. The idea of political
prisoners developed in the High Middle Ages (roughly the 11th through 13th
centuries) more so than the Early Middle Ages (5th-10th centuries).
Sometimes they were confined because they were a threat to nobility or
royalty, and sometimes they were ransomed. Additionally, women might be sent
to convents rather than be confined at the castle.
