The torture device for gossips was called a brank, the branks, or a scold's bridle. It is first described in the year 1567, and so is probably not medieval, but a Renaissance invention.

There is a link below to an article on the brank or scold's bridle.

a medieval torture device is a device used to cause pain in a physical, mental, or even sexual manner to extract information from prisoners in the Dark Ages. There was a great use of torture devices in the Spanish Inquisition too.
