Medieval Torture Myths vs Historical Reality

When I looked deeper, it became clear that many famous devices were either rare or even invented much later, and that’s where balanced sources really help. I came across https://medievalextreme.com/tools-of-pain/ during that research, and it does a decent job explaining which tools were documented and which ones are more legend than fact, while also touching on how some construction ideas carried over into armor and buhurt weapons used today by reenactors. It helped me explain to my friend that medieval life was harsh, but not the constant torture fest people often imagine.
