One of my favorite stories to illustrate this is Thomas de Marle
>Seized manors from convents
>Captured random peasants and demanded huge unpayable ransoms from them
>If he didn't get his loot he would hang them up by their testicles until these tore off from the weight of the body
>also did this to other prisoners as well
>basically turned his castles into torture chambers
>was excommunicated by the church
>finally got all of his fiefs taken away by Louis VI
