Torture Devices:

The Iron Maiden ~ Decorated with human hair, garments, and jewelry.  She would instruct a servant girl to fix the jewels on the Iron Maiden, and when a certain jewel was moved, the Maiden would grab the girl, spikes would come out of the breasts, and the girl would quickly bleed to death.

A Cage, shaped like a ball, that was too short to stand in, but too narrow to sit in.  It was on a pulley, and had dozens of spike jutting into the cage.  The cage would be swung back and forth so that the gitl inside would be torn to pieces on the spikes.
