Silver Chair


 * For the book of the same title, see The Silver Chair.



"The Knight was seated in a curious silver chair, to which he was bound by his ankles, his knees, his elbows, his wrists, and his waist."

- The Silver Chair

The Silver Chair was a magical device constructed by the Queen of Underland (also known as the Lady of the Green Kirtle), designed to keep Prince Rilian afflicted by her enchantment. Every night, Rilian was bound to the chair to renew the manipulative magic. It made him susceptible to the witch's lies, and caused him to forget who he truly was.

The excuse given for tying him to the chair each time was that every night he would go mad and attack all those around him, and then turn into a great serpent, and thus he had to be restrained to keep him from harming anyone.

After apparently 10 years of slavery in this way, Prince Rilian was finally cut loose one night by Eustace Scrubb, Jill Pole and the Marsh-wiggle Puddleglum. The moment he was free, he instantly grabbed his sword, and chopped the chair into pieces, breaking the spell once and for all.
