The book also covers other medieval torture devices such as the Spanish Donkey, the Rack Torture Device, the Brazen Bull, and the Rat Torture, shedding light on the brutal methods used by torturers to extract information and confessions.

The final chapter of the book provides a brief overview of the five most painful torture devices of the Middle Ages, including the Saw Torture Devices, the Spider or the Breast Ripper, the Knee Splitter Torture Device, the Head Crusher, and the Wheel.
