The Most Painful Medieval Torture Device Ever Used 😱 | Shocking History of María de Zozoya

#MedievalTorture #DarkHistory #HistoryRemains
In 1610, a woman named María de Zozoya confessed to murdering 840 people. But her words weren’t hers—they were forced from her through one of history’s most mathematically precise instruments of agony: the Judas Cradle.

This device was engineered not to kill—but to keep victims alive in unending pain, using gravity itself as a weapon. For centuries, inquisitors used it to extract impossible confessions, twisting justice into horror.

In this episode, we uncover the true purpose behind the Judas Cradle:
– How geometry turned pain into procedure.
– How a single confession exposed the fatal flaw in Europe’s entire torture system.
– And how one woman’s suffering helped change the laws of civilization forever.

Every corner of history hides a nightmare that was once called “justice.”
This… is one of them.
