Harsh Martinet
Consul
A very special whipping post has been erected, built with the special purpose of the public flogging of those females who are repeat violators of the laws against harlotry, fornication and gender treason... designed so that the guilty bits are displayed and opened to the lash.
Of course, for the crime of bearing a bastard the wooden horse is a very suitable punishment. The Lord Justice utilizes local midwives to examine the guilty female to be sure she's fit for her punishment to be carried out. A flogging may still be part of the sentence.
