  5. 1536 1946 1916 They were all executed for the crime of TREASON

  6. What is Treason? An act to try and go against or plot against the King or government.

  7. Punishment The rich people would be beheaded with an axe.

  8. Commoners from lower classes (e.g. priests) were likely to suffer being hanged, drawn and quartered.

  9. After death, the traitor’s lands and goods, were taken by the Monarch.

  10. The offender would be dragged to the gallows, that he be hanged by the neck and cut down alive, that his entrails be taken out and burned while he is yet alive; that his head be cut off: that his body be divided into four parts and that his head and quarters be at the Kings disposal. He was dragged to the scaffold because he was “not worthy any more to tread upon the earth where of he was made, he was hanged by the neck between heaven and earth, as deemed unworthy of both or either. He was drawn because he inwardly had conceived and harboured in his parts such horrible treason.” He was beheaded because here he had imagined the mischief.

  11. The last person to be hanged, drawn and quartered was the Jacobite Francis Towneley in 1746. But the punishment remained the legal for a long time afterwards.

  12. How were rebels and protesters treated?
