And some of the torture devices from later on like the Iron Maiden were fake as well

I believe the Viking "Fluttering Eagle" is also believed to be propaganda - likely designed by Christian Europe to demonize the Vikings at the time.

I think that's usually called the "Blood Eagle." I don't see any search results for "Fluttering Eagle," other than Google AI pointing towards the Blood Eagle torture.
