	Historic Royal Palaces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		At the Tower of London the rack was sometimes claimed as the invention of the Duke of Exeter, a 15th-century Constable of the Tower and so in the 16th-century it was nicknamed The Duke of Exeter's Daughter although other sources called it 'the brake'.
