Was The Pendulum An Actual Torture Device?
Was the swinging pendulum an actual torture device employed by the Spanish Inquisition, or indeed by any other legal inquisition in history?
Added it to my DVD collection. Blimey, I STIll cringe every time I watch that razor-sharp pendulum swinging down, nearer and nearer, to the strapped-down guy's stomach!
