Castellan

With all this, there goes a large measure of barbarous cruelty.

In Stephen's reign, the Castellans invented horrible tortures, to gouge out a child's eyes with the fingers, or to bridge a moat with live horses.

And when their bodies proved insufficient and to order villains likewise to be thrown in, such was the handiwork, such was the command of a Belem, a person of extreme cruelty.

Yes, he was famous for it.
