Rape and torture in Medieval Europe.

by rabidcoral

It seems like the general consensus is that rape and torture were common place and a part of life during the medieval period. This is exemplified by media like Game of Thrones which is loosely based off of that time period. How much of this factual? Were rape and torture frowned upon or possibly ignored? If you could provide multiple sources that would be great!
