About iron maiden
The iron maiden is an apocryphal torture device, believed to have been first invented in the 19th century. It consists of a solid iron cabinet with a hinged front and spike-covered interior, sufficiently tall to enclose a human being. While often popularly thought to have been used in the medieval period, there is no known mention of the iron maiden from before the 19th century. It has become a popular image in media involving the Middle Ages and torture chambers.
