Instruments of Torture in the Dark Ages Exhibition
A report details the Mare Collection from Nav Homburg on display in Lorton, noting the Earl of Shrewsbury recently purchased torture implements from Noronp Castle. The exhibit describes iron cages, iron maiden variants, spikes, and devices used to inflict punishment, with dramatic descriptions of how victims were restrained and injured. The article cites the New York World and Albany papers, mentioning royal burials, noble attire, and a debate on the value of such relics among aristocracy. It includes estimates of gems and jewelry connected to royal figures and the Westminster dukes, and references a broader discussion of relics in government circles and tax considerations.
