Don't forget they basically overpopulated themselves and sent their children away to do all the raiding so they could keep making babies they couldn't feed. What a bunch of poo poo cretins. They deserved Christianity.

Like half those devices were made up centuries later to make Catholics look bad. The ones that weren't though...

I hadn't heard that some were created later; can you elaborate please?

The iron maiden and "pear of anguish" are both probably fake. There were a couple others, but I'm forgetting them now. There was sort of a vogue in Protestant countries for fantastical depictions of the barbarity of the Inquisition and Catholic monarchs during the early modern period and historians think a lot of these devices were likely made up then.

drat

Thank you for the detailed reply; that does make sense.
