1483 ~ The Iron Maiden
The seventh and last in the 1483 series is the The Iron Maiden. There seems to be some historical discrepancy as to whether a fiendish device like The Iron Maiden ever existed in the time of the Inquisition. The only prototype ever found was centuries later in a Spanish Castle by Napoleonic soldiers... however, given its nature and simplicity, there is no reason or evidence that something akin to it was not present in the dungeons of the Grande Inquisitor, Tomás de Torquemada.
Here is another take on the casket of torment; modified not to impale unless the victim moves. The open sides and ankle stocks allow for relentless prodding of the body, and the prolonged tickling of dangling soles. The accused dare not move and must endure in motionless laughter, like a true and serene follower of Christ.
