"SURPRISE!!! It's just a bungi cord made to look like a chain! Hahaha hehe! Oh man! You shoulda....hahaha...you shoulda seen the look on your face! Priceless!"
@mrscatsaad They are being punished, humane or not these people are being executed for a reason. Making it hurt less is the last thing on their minds.
This is actually a pretty humane way to execute if done correctly. This wasn't, the rope was too long, which was why the victim bounced at the end. If done properly, the neck would be snapped, and the victim would feel a pretty low amount of pain. It the victim is too light, they'll choke. If they're too heavy decapitation would be the result.
Gibbeting predates the medieval era, and thus isn't distinctly *medieval* torture. Also, this scene doesn't take place in the Middle Ages. I therefore scowlingly object to the title. Scowlingly, I say!
If I'm ever hanged, I sure hope the executioner calculates the proper height/weight/drop ratios so my neck breaks cleanly.. Other wise I would end up with my head torn off or strangle to death.
That was a gallows! A gibbet is a cage encasing the body and which was hung from a tree or post. In reality the long drop shown in the clip would have torn off the victim's head, even without the weight of the chains.
His neck would break instantly therefore he would hardly feel a thing which would actually be a pretty easy way to go back then considering being burned at the stake or impaled or any one of the other torture methods that were designed to kill you very slowly and with agonizing pain..
As demonstrated the force generated by the lenght of drop and added mass from the heavy chain would lead to a decapitation almost 100 percent of the time. Saddam, without any extraneous weight and with only a two feet drop and with a much thicker noose, was nevertheless decapitated, so embarrassing for our Dept of State and Bush's special envoy...but it was the WH who insisted on letting the Shia execution team take the lead on the logistics and technique of hanging.
He lead a rebeliion called "Pilgrimage of Grace" that protested against Henry VIII breaking with the Catholic church which also lead to the dissolution of monasteries that were often felt to be beneficial to communities.
Basically, local monasteries acted like welfare to those who needed help but couldn't afford it, such as food, medical assistance and education. Henry VIII had taken this away but didn't instate an alternative in it's place, which further ignited the rebellion
@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn Uuuuu~! No wonder they did that to him! But actually, for those days, I'm surprised they didn't do worse things to him. I mean, it sounds like what he did was very bad, considering he went against the king, and Henry Vlll was a ruthless ruler, so I'm surprised.. unless that man was at a higher rank? D:
I know Gordon Brown may not have handled the economy as well as he could have, providing the Conservatives with the largest deficit in our history but come on voting Conservative.
@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn do u know by any chance how henry VIII died, cuz on the simpsons they acted that his first wife killed him and i was wondering if it was true
@Grenademan1 Best not to get your history lessons from cartoons ...
Just Google it, it's not hard. But to save you the trouble, no - Henry VIII famously had six wives, divorced two of them, beheaded two of them and one died. The last one survived. Henry died either as a result of his obesity or syphilis or a combination of the two.
the chains are part of the torture, as the weight would be incredibly painful to carry and wear for that long. I didn't post the part before this scene where it showed his skin bleeding from them
Ahh, the good old days when they actually punished criminals. Now we coddle them and then release them to kill or rape or steal again. It's time to bring back torture for all violent criminals and execution for murderers and rapists. Far more effective than housing them for years with all the ammenities of home and then letting them go to continue committing crimes. Torture is a better deterent, and it is far cheaper. Executed criminals never re-offend! Today we are pathetic and weak.
its no wonder the series "The Tudors" won 4 emmys and 5 Trebeca Film awards. This series is one of the most accurate (give or take a couple discrepancies) and historical Henry VIII era tv/movie series that i have seen in a long while. Yes take it some scenes like this one are gruesome but still accurate. The makers/producers of this series... MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU ALL! GREAT SERIES AND GREAT JOB GETTING THE FACTS RIGHT!
Um whose the dude in the kingly robe standing there watching?? Is it Henry himself???? Geez dude how sadistic and cruel were you???? I couldn't watch that even if I was royalty. No wonder Henry the 8th is still hated throughout the world to day, this just shows that after Anne Bolyenne's execution Henry VIII lost his mind. LITERALLY.
What they're showing here is long drog hanging which wasn't widely used until the 19th century. Correctly done, long drop hanging requires a series of calculations to ensure the executed person is killed instantly without haing his head ripped off. In reality, Robert Aske was hung in chains and slowly died of starvation and suffocation over a few days and his body left on display as a deterrent. He did this to avoid being drawn and quartered.
@lurkerrekrul depending on the weight of the person also... i read a book where it said in some cases weights were attached to the feet to result in a instant decapitation...
@pleasendlost that's the modern form of it. This was a public statement to the people as a form of warning against crime. The gibbet is the scaffold thingy with the rope. It's more the way they die then what they are on.
u know if i was in power, i would issue this punishment for all those dull people who claim to be daring for doing a bungee jump and continuously harpin on about it, there is no danger in it, its no more intrepid than a ridin a roller coaster
@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD The way this is done, yes. This is not, however, typical of medieval or Renaissance hangings. Normally, the condemned would be pulled upwards from a platform or have a stool of some sort removed from under them. It was more of a strangulation. Modern (read: from the 1700's on) involved a drop like this intended to break the neck first and make the whole thing more...humane.
Not sure if he actually starved. I think it has more to do with the pressure/weight of the chains on the body. He would have gone quicker with the drawing and quartering.
@GhettoBlaster100 well it would have been if this was what actually happened but in reality he was hung alive in chains and left to starve to death because he wrote to henry pleading not to be hung drawn and quartered so henry obliged him, the show used a bit of artistic license with this scene
@BlackScorpionSkull and mostly because of ONE MAN! And if I have to name him go back to history class. I would think it would be obvious. I 100% AGREE WITH YOU. P.S. that go back to history class remark IS NOT AIMED AT YOU IN ANYWAY. I am just being sarcastic bc alot of people nowadays barely know who henry 8 was let alone how bloody he made his country.
@BlackScorpionSkull Er, what on earth do you mean? Why is this death any worse than at other times?
I would suggest that the holocaust and 30 million people being killed in the space of a few years in world war two, many simply executed for being a particular race, was considerably worse.
@THthefirst No cuz there was countries that fought against the holocaust and defeated the Nazis. The evil shit of the dark ages and medieval era was common and no one really cared. Plus a gas chamber vs being set on fire....cmon.
@BlackScorpionSkull In terms of numbers of people killed, I can guarantee you that more were murdered by the Nazis between 1939 and 1945 than by burning at the stake over hundreds of years. Millions were killed in the gas chambers (not to mention the war as a whole). Far far less were killed by being burned, it was a punishment rather than an attempt at ethnic cleansing.
No one with any intelligence writes "cuz", unless you under 14 years old. And "evil shit" just sounds infantile as well.
@THthefirst I'm guessing your Jewish. Or you have close ties with Jews. Why else would you compare the holocaust to something completely different. Tell me friend: Do they at least pay you to spread the propaganda?
@THthefirst You know there is more to the quality of life than wars, right? Seems you are the moron as you failed to the medical and humanitarian advancements during ww2. They didn't even have proper medicine, housing or a basic understanding of anything during the medieval period. Not to mention the plague the wars were far more bloody and savage - fought at sword point and with no agreement on humanitarian treatment of prisoners. They didn't even have toilets! IDIOT!
@BlackScorpionSkull "They didn't even have proper medicine, housing or a basic understanding of anything during the medieval period"
Oh dear. No housing? Where did the four million people live, then in the C16? How was Hampton Court Palace built?
Wars more bloody? Are you serious? I just explained that more people were killed in one war in the C20 than LIVED in the whole of the C16 in England. How can you possibly say it was a more bloody time? We had two world wars you fool
@BlackScorpionSkull And have you ever heard of the renaissance? To say that people in the C15/C16 centuries had no basic understanding about anything just shows your complete ignorance of the huge advances made in this period. Do you get your history from cartoon books and TV shows, or do you just make it up as you go along?
Ever heard of Gallileo, Columbus, Michael Angelo? Ever seen the amazing architecture of the period? Apparently they had no houses - hilarious!
they did this kind of stuff, actually probably worse, to people in concentration camps during WWII, just read about Janowska concentration camp, some messed-up stuff right there
upside down crucifixions, flogging to death, skinned alive, heads sawed off, etc. I read about how they put people in wheel-barrels, filled them with some water and left them to freeze to death in the winter.
In general, the psychological torture endured in concentration/death camps surpasses anything I've read about in history and has been the most personally traumatizing to have learned about. The fact that we have photographic and video evidence makes it all the more "real"
@BlackScorpionSkull In some parts of the world, it hasn't even changed. Terrible, isn't it? Why do we always have to do this to eachother? It's ridiculous, and inhumane.
@PinStripes41 The so-called "Dark Ages" were not monolithic. Things changed over time, and they were different depending on what country you were in. Personally, I think I'd get along fine during, say, the High Middle Ages in Poland. There were many other places where being a cottager, villein, or free tenet was a generally pleasant way to pass one's days. Yes, there were bad regions, too, but the medieval era had many times and places better than Nazi Germany.
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx o the brazen bull, now, thats bad. Didn't the king trick the creator of the brazen bull to climb inside it and he lit the fire under the bull??
the means of committing the execution is torturous in and of itself. But if you mean technically, yes, execution is still considered a form of torture
@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn that is only if the victim does not die in the process. This was like beheading it was specifically built for painful death and to kill. Unlike torture where they stop just before the brink of death.
@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn The reason for these extreme punnishments was also; Death itself in those days, was very much always present,and nothing unusual; so, a 'simple' death sentence was deemed not enough punnishment,(more a relief)hence....the long outdrawn executions.
@dude12394 technically it's both. It can be considered an execution bc of the hanging aspect, then again it can also be looked at as torture too becuse the victim is still alive and suffering before they actually die. So if you really think about it it's actually both.
@countrywillneverdie the death was pretty quick though as the neck would be broken instantly - yes there was anticipation beforehand which was not nice, but there were FAR worse ways to be executed - burning or boiling alive, being stoned, being hanged (and strangled)....

In general, the psychological torture endured in concentration/death camps surpasses anything I've read about in history and has been the most personally traumatizing to have learned about. The fact that we have photographic and video evidence makes it all the more "real"

@BlackScorpionSkull In some parts of the world, it hasn't even changed. Terrible, isn't it? Why do we always have to do this to eachother? It's ridiculous, and inhumane.

@PinStripes41 The so-called "Dark Ages" were not monolithic. Things changed over time, and they were different depending on what country you were in. Personally, I think I'd get along fine during, say, the High Middle Ages in Poland. There were many other places where being a cottager, villein, or free tenet was a generally pleasant way to pass one's days. Yes, there were bad regions, too, but the medieval era had many times and places better than Nazi Germany.

It's a good job he had that rope around his neck to stop his fall otherwise he could have had a nasty accident!

There are far worse ways of dying. Boiling. Burning. Drawn and quartered.

@xB4LL50F5T33Lx o the brazen bull, now, thats bad. Didn't the king trick the creator of the brazen bull to climb inside it and he lit the fire under the bull??

@Wullieboy919 The king he made it for tossed him off a cliff, but the king himself was killed in the bull when he was overthrown.

@dude12394
the means of committing the execution is torturous in and of itself. But if you mean technically, yes, execution is still considered a form of torture

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn
Actually that hanging was a humane version of hanging as the neck would break instantly the rope ended, causing little or no suffering.

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn that is only if the victim does not die in the process. This was like beheading it was specifically built for painful death and to kill. Unlike torture where they stop just before the brink of death.

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn The reason for these extreme punnishments was also; Death itself in those days, was very much always present,and nothing unusual; so, a 'simple' death sentence was deemed not enough punnishment,(more a relief)hence....the long outdrawn executions.

@dude12394 technically it's both. It can be considered an execution bc of the hanging aspect, then again it can also be looked at as torture too becuse the victim is still alive and suffering before they actually die. So if you really think about it it's actually both.
countrywillneverdie 10 months ago
@countrywillneverdie the death was pretty quick though as the neck would be broken instantly - yes there was anticipation beforehand which was not nice, but there were FAR worse ways to be executed - burning or boiling alive, being stoned, being hanged (and strangled)....
