The instrument would then be progressively expanded, and I’m sure not much is left to the imagination……… ‘The Turtle’ - ‘The Turtle’ is a method wherein the accused Heretic would be placed under a wooden board, and large stones placed on top, causing crushing pain and slow suffocation. ‘The Iron Boot’ - ‘The Iron Boot’ affectionately known as bootikens is designed to crush the foot and legs. These were boots that went from the person's ankles to knees. Wedges were hammered up the length of the boot into the person's leg, breaking and crushing bones as it went. ‘The Breast Ripper’ - ‘The Breast Ripper’ or the ‘Spanish Spider’ the name of this device speaks for itself. Women condemned of heresy, blasphemy, adultery, and witchcraft often felt the wrath of this device as it violently tore a breast from their torso. The ‘Judas Cradle’ - The ‘Judas Cradle’ is another particularly painful and humiliating torture. The victim was stripped, hoisted and hung over this pointed pyramid with iron belts. - Their legs were stretched out frontwards, or their ankles pulled down by weights. - The tormentor would then drop the accused onto the pyramid penetrating both orifices. With their muscles contracted, they were usually unable to relax and fall asleep. The ‘Head crusher’ - The ‘Head crusher’ is a brutal torture device commonly used only by the Spanish Inquisition. The person’s chin was placed over a bottom bar and the head under an upper metal cap. - The executioner then slowly turned the screw, gradually compressing the head between the bar and cap. Teeth and the jaw would often break first, with the eyes slightly later – it was such an effective method as the pain could be extended for as long as the torturer wished, or as long as it took for a confession.
