The Judas Cradle, also known as the Judas chair, is a torture device falsely attributed by legend to the Spanish Inquisition. Though in popular culture it is still occasionally claimed that the Judas Cradle was a medieval torture instrument, thus far it has proved impossible to locate the device in the historical record of the Middle Ages. It would appear that the Judas Chair owes it origins to early modern horror fiction and carnival side-shows rather than any historical use as a judicial torture device. In Italian it is the culla di Giuda; in German the Judaswiege; and in French the la veille - "the wake" or "nightwatch" (as when the muscles contracted the victim could not fall asleep).
