Some of the instruments that "the Inquisition" never used, but that are erroneously registered in various inquisition museums:[13]

  • The dungeon of rats. Created in the 16th century, its main reference is from John Lothrop Motley about some anecdotes of torture against the "papists" during the Dutch war of independence. It is also said that Catholics who resisted the Church of England under Elizabeth I were tortured in the Tower of London.[23] Used by some Protestant governments and not by the Inquisition.[24]
  • Heretic's Fork, Boots, Cat's Paw, and Iron Cage. Created in the 15th–16th century. Used by the French parlement and not by the Inquisition.[citation needed]
