Let me tell you about my distant ancestors...

This forum is not the world. That needs to be kept in mind.

What?! blasphemer! heretic! tie him to the Catherine Wheel. No he is do be drawn and Quartered.


My distant ancestor Saint Oliver Plunket suffered this fate at the hands of the English.

* You are half hanged.
* Emasculated (all your manly parts cut off)
* They are thrown on a grill to smell them cooking.
* Then you are disemboweled
* If you are still alive and some where; your
Heart was cut out. The executioner then held the heart to the crowd yelling, "Behold the heart of a traitor!"

Not done with you yet

Then they would cut off all your limbs and head and throw your parts into a pit. No Christian funeral. Fortunately someone bribed the executioner for the head. And the head of Saint Oliver Plunket sits under glass in Ireland.
