The Roses of Heliogabolus by Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema featuring a typical dinner party prank by a Roman Emperor:
"In a banqueting-room with a reversible ceiling he once buried his guests in violets and other flowers, so that some were actually smothered to death, being unable to crawl out to the top"

Well that's certainly never been a side-effect I've noticed, but mileage varies, I suppose.Hence the old saying, 'See Nipples and die!'

Spaniards despoiling a town in the Netherlands during the Dutch Revolt? Spain's repression in the beginning was horrible. The Duke of Alba used the Inquisition and massacre as instruments to "reduce the Netherlands to obedience." Didn't work.
He was so bad the king of Spain recalled him and the next several "governors" of the Spanish Netherlands were more conciliatory. There were always damsels in distress though.

That would be my guess... Or the Thirty Years War...
The morion helmets worn by the soldiers would indicate late 16th century. I don't think the peasants or town folk would appreciate the difference regardless of the century.
Joan is one of the most enduring (and endearing) damsels in distress. She, like Eulalia, was not much more than a child, about 18 or 19. How much self-pleasuring was going on among the men who condemned these teenagers to horrible deaths? A lot, I suspect.

Don’t forget all the women and girls burned for witchcraft. Many of those accused were burned alive. Witchcraft was considered a severe crime.
