Terms and rules

The subject matter of our Forums entails portrayals of cruelty and violence, and the range of acceptable content is wide. However, we are not, and do not intend to become, an "open house" site for all kinds of hard-core sadistic pornography.
Examples of content that is not wanted and will not be allowed include:
portrayals that focus excessively on mutilation or dismemberment (body parts being, or having been, cut or ripped off.) :eek:
 
Just found this -

His nipples, arms, thighs and the fat of the legs shall be squeezed in a clamp, his right hand that held the knife with which he committed the regicide shall be burnt with hot sulphur, and a mixture of molten lead, boiling oil, pitch, hot resin, wax and sulphur will be poured on the parts that have been clamped. Then his body will be stretched and quartered by four horses.

Thus died Francois Ravaillac for the murder of Henry lV of France after nearly a day during which one of the horses had to be replaced when it became exhausted.

At least one of the early Plantagenets (maybe Edward II) was killed by his wife (he must have been really bad in bed) and her lover by having a red hot iron shoved up his ass. It was said you could hear his screams throughout the castle.

This was done so when the body was displayed it had no obvious signs of violence done to it.

The execution
On the morning of 27 May 1610, the Parlement de Paris handed down its verdict. Ravaillac was "duly attainted of the crime of high treason, divine and human, in the highest degree, for the most wicked, most abominable, and most detestable parricide committed on the person of the late Henri IV […]." For this, he was condemned to make an amende honorable at the gates of Notre Dame, and to suffer the fate of all regicides at the Place de Grève in Paris.
Having been subjected a final session of torture, during which he fainted from the pain, Ravaillac was taken from the Conciergerie at around three in the afternoon, placed on a cart and taken to Notre Dame. To his great surprise, he had barely exited the prison when the frenzied crowd began to hurl insults at him – wicked, parricide, traitor, murderer – and attempted to strike him. He who was convinced that he had acted according to the will of God was completely convinced that most of France was on his side. The journey from the Conciergerie to the Place de Grève was another form of torture. The insults and invectives were so loud that his amende honorable in front of Notre Dame went unheard, as did the public reading of the death sentence handed down by the Parlement. Between the cathedral and the Place de Grève, the fury of the crowd increased in intensity. Before mounting the scaffold, he was asked once again to tell the whole truth. He reiterated his version. The execution then began.
The sentence handed down by the Parlement was carried out to the letter. It stipulated that "[his] flesh shall be torn to pieces with red-hot pincers from his breasts, his arms, and thighs, and the calves of his legs; his right hand, holding the knife wherewith he committed the aforesaid parricide, shall be scorched and burned with flaming brimstone; and on the places where the flesh has been torn with pincers, melted lead, boiling oil, scalding pitch, with wax and brimstone melted together, shall be poured; after this, he shall be torn in pieces by four horses, his limbs and body burnt to ashes, and dispersed in the air […]." What they had not planned on was the eruption of violence that accompanied and followed the execution. Under the jeers and insults of the onlookers, the doctors from the Sorbonne who were supposed to recite prayers for the soul of the condemned man were prevented from doing so. While Ravaillac was being drawn and quartered, some pulled on ropes to help the horses. One of the animals became tired and was replaced, until Ravaillac's thigh gave way. The horses were put to work again, and finally, after more than two hours of torture, Ravaillac died. At that moment, the mob fell on the corpse and tore it to pieces. According to Nicolas Pasquier, one woman even tore into the flesh with her teeth – a horrifying symbol of the level of hatred towards the murderer. The executioner, who was in charge of gathering the remains in order to burn them and disperse the ashes, could find no trace.
Finally, as the death sentence called for, Ravaillac's worldly possessions were confiscated and the house where he was born was demolished, with a ban placed on any other construction on the spot. His father and mother were forced to leave France "under the penalty of being hanged and strangled", and it was forbidden within the kingdom to take the name of Ravaillac.

And after Edward II's death, he was laid to rest in Gloucester Cathedral. The murderers wanted to make it look like he had just died, so they arranged for stately burial and proper Mass to be said for his soul, as befitted a deceased king. All part of the pageantry, what.

Isabelle of France, who deposed her former husband and ruled as regent along with her lover, Mortimer, was subsequently deposed by her son Edward III (she is suspected of having organized the murder of Edward II in order to put Edward III on the throne, but it doesn't seem to have worked out that well for her in the end).

Meanwhile, considering that kings were considered ordained by God (even the ones that abdicated and were murdered), dead kings were treated by the public as kinds of saints, and so pilgrimages were made to Gloucester Cathedral to petition the late Edward II to intercede with God for good fortune. The establishment of Gloucester as a pilgrimage point was very good for enriching the Cathedral (you'd almost think Wragg's relatives might have been Abbots there or something). ;):devil:

I had the pleasure of visiting Gloucester last year, and here Edward is:

Gloucester Abbey (as it was then) convinced Henry VIII to establish it as a Cathedral of the Church of England, and established a school (The King's School) in Henry's honour, which also continues to operate to this day. And so Gloucester escaped the destruction of the Abbeys (again, I suspect one of Wragg's ancestors of being part of the negotiations with Henry).
