| | Hanging, drawing and quartering |
 | | Hanging, drawing and quartering remained the lawful punishment for High Treason until abolished in 1870. | | | Rothwell was, as was normal, in charge of the actual arrangements for carrying out the sentence and decided, it would seem principally to avoid traffic congestion, to do away with the drawing to the place of execution on a hurdle. | | | It has to be one of the most sadistic forms of execution ever invented, which it was in 1241, specifically to punish William Maurice who had been convicted of piracy. |

| | In the United StatesUnited States of America, for example, there has never been the punishment of drawing and quartering, because of the Bill of Rights. | | | The "unusual" provision, at least, is clear: providing that persons will not be subjected to arbitrary, humiliating, or capricious punishment outside the normal course of the law (for example, tarring and feathering). | | | However, by the twentieth century, many people came to consider capital punishment to be cruel and unusual punishment. |
