Historically I'm thinking flaying. That is removing the victim's skin while still alive. I read that during the "peasants war" (baurenkrieg?) prisoners would have the skin removed from one of their arms, from the shoulder down. They were then left to die from shock (if you're lucky) or infection.
When I saw the topic I was about to post the same thing.
