Literature | Damiens' Bed of Steel R. F. Damiens, in 1757, attempted the life of Louis XV. He was taken to the Conciergerie; an iron bed, which likewise served as a chair, was prepared for him, and to this he was fastened with chains. He was then tortured, and ultimately torn to pieces by wild horses. (Smollet: History of England, v. 12, p. 39.) "The uplifted axe, the agonising wheel, Luke's iron crown, and Damiens' bed of steel." Goldsmith: The Traveller (1768). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
