Years ago I read Daniel Mannox's epic work on torture. The English had invented a gibbet in which the condemned was secured in such a manner as to have all their weight resting on spikes in their feet. This pain was so horrible that the victims would scream all night. One account had an innkeeper go outside and shoot the miserable man so the guests could sleep.

Guy Fawkes managed to escape an agonizing end by jumping from the ladder when he was being hanged. He broke his neck and died instantly, leaving them with only a corpse to disembowel.
@@Jonglierfreak You had to be a real sicko to do that job. It wasn't like being a headsman, where the objective was to decapitate your victim as cleanly as possible... this was about maximizing their suffering.
It was to prevent "clipping coins" that some U.S. coins(the dime, quarter, half dollar and dollar) were made with a reeded edge. Those four denominations were originally made of silver. With that edge, someone could easily tell at glance if a coin had been clipped or shaved, and be confident that it still had it's full value and content of silver. Even though those coins no longer contain silver, they still are made with the reeding on the edge.
I have two pieces of eight. One is quite crude but the other has lines lines to delineate the proper edge. That one is dated in the 1700s. They both came from wrecks off the Isles of Scilly.
@@ddz1375 About 45 years ago I bought a very cheap metal detector. Most of the coins I found were just because I had my head down and they were already at the surface. I was about 25 then and I decided to try my old school grounds. I was persistent and found two bits in the root of a bush right outside my first grade classroom. It was dated 1916. I still have every coin I found in that hobby. It turns out that lots a guys try out the park across the street for similar treasures. I like to bury foreign coins in the patch of park I can see from my kitchen. I’m washing dishes and some guy is scratching his head and puzzled why an 80 year old thrupenny bit was in the park. Hobbies are great.
@Lou Danny Malacts Britain is a criminal corporation. A lot will not involve themselves in such immoral behaviour. Besides, the swingers and child molesters get the best jobs. So what is the point?
@@4evermilkman the mideval were disgusting pieces of shit back in those days of England. But at the same time, they weren't the only game in town, neither. And this sort of thing was going on long before rhem too. Hell... it's stil, going on in modern times, mostly known for by ISIS ...shit like beheadings... stuffing people of all ages, both male and female, into steel cages, and then either slowly lowering the steel cage into a swimming pool, or a lake. Or worse, setting everyone on fire I think they even used the cages for the nitric acid and tar pit executions as well. And once they were bored with all of those, they started lining up offenders on the street in a row with their wrists and ankles bound to immobilize them, then slowly driving a T-72 tank over them. Those who were executed by being shot in the back of the heads, or laden with explosives... they got off "easy" with those punishments, which if that were going to happen, at least those ways are fast and painless But I dont think any of those methods even compares to the Persians of 500 bc with their punishment of scaphism. That would be my worst nightmare come true
Hey kids would you rather go visit Grandma and Gramps and play with the little piglets on their farm or take a trip to London for the next public hanging ...they're going to be using the gibbeting method!
Absolutely! We should bring the practice back immediately for the organized shoplifters, Antifa, violent criminals, car jackets, rioters, and other “mostly peaceful” protesters that we see on tv daily! It would clean that inner city crime right up.
I often think of the crowd scene in "The Private Life of Henry VIII," where a jolly group of people are gathered to watch Anne Boleyn's beheading. Although this scene is *not* accurate where Anne was concerned, I think it describes what the execution of an ordinary criminal would look like. Everyone would want a good view, picnic baskets (or the medieval equivalent) would be produced, and the family would have a great time. Sort of like the ancient Romans attending the torture to death of early Christians in the amphitheatre....
Life "back in the day" was really weird. People would travel from miles away and bring their whole families to watch execution and enjoy the festivities. People used to sit out on hills with their families, have picnics, and watch soldiers shoot each other during the revolutionary and civil wars. We don't have anything nearly as wholesome these days.
i mean we watch live streams of drone footage and reporters in war zones and also see gore videos on the internet. not much has changed, its just not as public anymore.
That's why none of the things we do to each other today shock me. We've always been a violent species. We just keep figuring out different ways to kill each other.
It sounds kinda wired that hundreds of people watched executions but I think if executions we're open to the public in modern times the same amount of people would watch if not more
That you watch wars live on TV, premeditated mass murder, but that you don't connect those to executions. That's a curious thing. Watching people walking into shops/buses, refusing to wear masks, in the early months of COVID, I did wonder about their psychology. They knew that it's possible they could cause someone else serious injury, possibly a lifelong illness, or a desperate death, but they would still enter that shop or bus and to he11 with anyone else. They were gambling they might execute someone and themselves, maybe even starting a hub of death in an area.
My fathers house is built on a former gallows hill. They found the remains of two gallows when digging out the basement to the house and it was later confirmed that that hill, was the primary execution hill, of the town it's now a part of. It's a little over 70 meters tall (about 230 feet) and any vegetation was likely cut down, in order to make the spectacle much more exciting to watch, as well as to deter any would-be criminals. The hill is located less than 50 meters (164 feet) from one of the primary roads to the city. A road which comes from a much larger trading town on Zealand, Denmark.
@@myheartiswriting True that, but it is the reality of the place.

Good thing, as my siblings and I were never that popular in our classes. We're all massive geeks.
@@brainwashingdetergent4128 What you say is true justice. I believe we need to have more compassion than that, though. An eye for an eye doesn't rehabilitate or improve anyone. I think our corrections systems should be less punishment and more rehabilitation.
@@skwalka6372 that isn't going to happen. Climate change just means migration. If you live near the tropics you already screwed. The closer to the artic you get, the best are the conditions. If you are poor, you are going to just die for the lack of water. Border control will just be business as usual.
It's not going to be that bad, you are going to see mass migration from tropics to artics by whoever is rich. Then those extreme gated communities are going to be very lawful against migration. It's nothing different than what already happens in the Mexico border with the US. Except that probably will happen between the northern habitable states and the souther uninhabitable ones. Just extend border control from Mexico inside the US. That's the worst case scenario. The best case is just the republic weakening and the states not allowing migration between them by blocking land owning from "aliens" from other states. That basically locks you where you live. So if you wanna survive climate change, you better buy land the closest you can from the artic tropics, while you can and its not extreme expensive.
I know that the crowd would make fun of the person getting executed. Kids would mock the victims, men and women would have a good laugh. My English ancestors were very unsavory by today's standards.
There's a misconception that when asphyxiated by hanging, these people were conscious and suffering up until death because they can be seen struggling. The truth is that you actually lose consciousness rather quickly (typically within mere seconds due to the inability for the blood to reach the brain), but the body continues to struggle reflexively. Death this way sounds much longer and torturous than it actually is.
Even when the neck is broken does the body still flop about for up to several minutes depending on the level of stress the person was going through (which you could imagine would be a lot) If you've ever culled a rabbit with the broomstick method or decapitated a chicken you'll know what I mean
The Danish Bog Man wasn't hung, they found him with a braided leather cord around his neck, but I've been to see him and clearly his throat had been cut. His curators say the leather cord was probably used for leading him around, like a dog's leash.
When I see his pic it always jumps out at me that he still has his leather hat and the braided leather rope. It seems like the material and labor to make them would have made them too valuable to waste.
He was hanged, his neck appears to be cut because the rope dug into his skin when he was hung. His tongue was found to be distended which is consistent with someone who is hanged.
@@Vincinate If you were standing there looking at him chatting it up with Gravbolleman's curators you wouldn't be talking that way. You'd be listening and thinking, and not discharging crazy ass statements about how you know more than they do, Mr. Armchair Forensic Scientist.
@@Vincinate Dont you think it's strange they would put him somewhere they knew he would be preserved? They also stored a couple types of butter in these bogs because they knew it would keep it fresh. They hanged a man and put him where they knew he would be preserved.
During the 1965 coup in my country, (to shorthen the complicated long history) my mom, she was a young girl living in a village said when she heard the gun roaring she knew some people accused to be the "communists" were put in a squared 2x1 meter wide hole, that one hole was crammed in for 10 people standing waiting to be gunned down and burried there. Not to mention other horrible tortures. My mom sometimes she said went to the location when the gun shot heard in the morning so she could start walking to that doomed riverbank quite far from her house to watch the execution. In two decades to come the area was considered spooky that we as kids sometimes could see skeletons and bones and some jeweleries scattered on the ground. Later on my mom married my dad who happened to be one of the young member of the party, got sentenced but escaped death. They did not make the sweet couple. My childhood was familiar with violent narcistic dearest of a mom...that one day as i grew up taller and bigger than my mother i asked her in awe: i wonder between you and dad, which one is the real trained "communist". I learnt that violence could be engraved within us without us knowing it. But when we quite aware of what was going on, we could end the circle.
I think it makes sense because coins are an important symbol in tarot and that hanging was for coin cutting. Kinda adds to the symbolism. Just desserts for the period. In a sense.
It’s interesting that the depravity of humanity might be taking a recess or be clouded over with thoughts of being far more “civilized”, or “evolved” but power, greed and war can easily motivate darkness to emerge back to the surface. Reminded me of a scene from JRR Tolkien’s the Hobbit - “Galadriel: Mithrandir... why the Halfling? Gandalf: ...I don't know. Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid... and he gives me courage.”
Yup, when people reset to default they become psychos again. It’s who we are by large. People obsess over the colors of skin, for example. People are nuts.
Those hanging cages where people were left to starve, freeze, or whatever else...have freaked me out since I was a kid and first watched the movie "Willow."
The algorithm stinks! I’ve been binging and I always have to go back to your channel to get the next one. They keep pushing really large channels or stuff I’ve already seen. A lot of stuff I’ve already seen. Anyway! Love this channel so much! You’re keeping me busy this weekend
Honestly I was never really that interested in history, mainly because I sucked at it back in school. But this channel made me really interested in at least medieval times. It's crazy to think that all of this happened only several hundreds of years ago. And it's amazing how different the world is in this day and age, how much has changed across the entire globe in such a short time.
THAT would depend on whom you ask, and how, precisely, you define "deserved"... Humans are subject to emotions, and one of them is Hate... Another is Rage. They're both very powerful and can easily blind us to sensibility. In truth, we are animals. We are very much a natural part of the natural orders of things on our planet. Literally everywhere else, life is a violent competition. Stands to reason, we'd be a violent and competitive lot... The braying jack-ass who held you up in traffic certainly DESERVED more than the bird you flew that he didn't even notice as you passed... Even though you certainly did NOT deserve the brake check by that lunatic yesterday. It was MAYBE "cut a little close" but your lane change was safe enough and nobody got hurt. Right? ;o)
@@Prodigi50 If you are talking about the Akron guy. He shot first and if he didn’t run, he’d be alive. Once he fired, they had no way of knowing if/when he would turn around and fire. Only later did they find the gun on the front seat of the car. I am sure that the balaclava was to prevent COVID.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 Jayland Walker was unarmed when they shot him. And no I wasn’t talking about Jayland Walker, I was talking about Philando Castile, who did everything right and still got shot.
As fascinating as I've always found the Medieval period, it's insane how killing was such a common practice of everyday life back then. And people didn't just enjoy killing; they enjoyed being as heinous and brutal as possible. Even more interesting that this has gone on for the majority of human history, and it's only been in the last couple of centuries that people realized how atrocious it is. Hopefully we continue to evolve from our old ways.
Humans can still be just as brutal. But yeah back then life was way harder and more violent and brutal. There are still many bad places and things happening in present day unfortunately.
Imagine a family outing being something as dark as watching a man slowly die from exposure. Humanity was so dark back then. Although its no better these days we just learned to lie and mask it in false morality more efficiently.
Depending on your family's breeding, there are many humans today who would be completely appalled to torture or needless suffering. Some humans evolved, most did not. Most human are still ruled by instinct and not "humanity" which makes them more like animals than men. Something as common as cheating on your spouse betrays how evolved a person really is. When you put instant gratification before long term happiness/peace, you act more like an animal than a human.
There are some people who still perform inbreeding. Just like dogs. Most people puke at the thought of inbreeding. In that sense, there is already a difference in evolution.

Very interesting... and pretty gruesome! Really interested to find the word ‘gala’ used for gallows and I’m wondering, given that hanging was often a public event or spectacle, weather this is the origin of the use of the same word, (gala), used to refer to a public event particularly of celebration or competition, here in the U.K..... any thoughts?
It's from the Latin. Both Italian and Spanish use the the Word Gala for Festive Occasion, so it had to have descended from the Latin that both were born of. From there it went to France and became celebrating or rejoicing and there likely is where it transfered to English
@@justinlast2lastharder749 Thank you very much! That’s interesting... if you like the origin of words and sayings I can recommend a fantastic read/listen “The Etymologicon” by mark forsyth aka the inky fool... you’ll love it!
I recommend the Audiobook on James berry he was a British Executioner its actually free here on YT If i remember correctly the time period is 1800 ish he was a hangman and documented every person he hung and went to see the condemned before hanging he lists all the crimes and goes in to great detail about the drop method of hanging and how much weight is need to kill an individual
Before drop hanging, friends, family were often allowed to grab on to the legs of the hanged person after they hanged a while, unless the person being killed was really hated.
Try to imagine what it would be like if public executions were a thing today. How many people would come to watch? How many twitch streams exclusively for executions would exist?
Mostly average people from 3rd world countries (I am from one, but educated) plus places like South America, Japan, China, boombers of SKor, and maybe even Australia. People who are still more instinct-based than intellectual, as observed by the racism and misogyny in these areas. Those are the type of people who would watch this due to human instinct. Those of us who are driven more by consciousness than instinct will do everything in our power to abolish it.
@@whiteskull1067 I respectfully disagree and call that a racist take. Look at how many views Logan Paul's suicide forest video got. All from "3rd World countries"? I guess not. We are all more instinct based than we would like to admit, and this would just expose it.
@@oldrageface8706 bro, the Logan Paul’s video is the actual evidence that people are against the display of violence/being unrespectful. They literally shat on Logan for being himself around a corpse.
This indulgence of our species’ sadism hasn’t gone away, but rather mostly been replaced by things like movies and video games. We lie to ourselves and those in “polite society” that we find the idea of watching a man violently die to be abhorrent, and then watch a brutal horror film. Yes, one is real and one is fake, but the lower part of ourselves doesn’t make that distinction. It still scratches and itch and that’s all our brain cares about. Public execution is essentially snuff theatre. If one thinks they’re incapable of enjoying watching someone die, or even enjoying making someone die, then one knows nothing about one’s own species and thus oneself.
There are people that are incapable of enjoying things like that. People that are extremely empathetic like one of my ex girlfriends are exceptions. She wouldn't even watch Action Movies because she hated the Violence.
This. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing we’re able to compartmentalise our sadistic and blood thirsty natures into virtual mediums where nothing and no one can be harmed. It’s important as an individual and a collective to explore our violent urges.
That's true, but don't forget that still today, in some part of the world, people enjoy bullfighting, dogfighting, horsefighting and all those disgusting things. People LOVE to see blood runs. As for me, it's "better" to watch an horror movie, at least it's fake. Even kids can watch those disturbing fights whereas horror movies are often forbidden under 18. They can't watch fake blood but can legally assist true and real violence and suffering... Am I the only one who thinks it's nonsense?
To be honest, what Edward did to "Them" was merciful. They could have had it a LOT worse. He expelled the rest from the country "For all eternity" so in effect they are in my country illegally and have been since the 1600's
In strangulation, unconsciousness usually occurs in 17 seconds. Although actual death does take a few minutes and the body of the unconscious person may twitch around before death.
Silly idea that you can write exact number... in martial arts with proper technique you are out in few seconds and in the same time if you just gonna try to use a rope then you need to take into consideration that the victim muscles on the neck are there to protect the neck and in case of a strong man he can easly be consious for minutes.
The emergency doctor told me my ex-husband was unconscious a few seconds after he hanged himself and didn't feel anything anymore. To be honest, I would have wish him the experience of hanging a little longer

Now I'm not going to say I'm fundamentally any better, I just live in different circumstances, but it really is disturbing to see the level of brutality and depravity that was the norm back then. In many parts of the world it still is, I know. Shows something about human nature and the mind boggling capacity for perverse cruelty, which is not very nice see 🙈
Although there is no shortage of evil or low intellect people today, the world was really full of them the further back you go. Without fear of reprisal, the world (back then and today as well) would be chaotic. People would kill, rob and rape everywhere. Look at recidivism now where criminal go through revolving door and are release all the time. I'm not saying we should hang people as examples, but people are doing heinous things and only getting minimal sentences. If there is no fear of punishment, the world would devolve in short order........
The manner in which you became a someone better than a killer is irrelevant. Whether or not you are one is. The circumstances of today permit you to be a killer. Our guns are better than ever. Bombs can be made from Internet-acquired materials. But I suspect you're not one. Be proud you haven't wreaked massive havoc. It's quite all right to have such pride.
Nobody wants to talk about the taboo, but everybody knows we are just the same as them. The only thing that keeps us repressed and contained being the social rules of the system.
Some of have a strong revulsion to that stuff, which is also called "empathy". Statistically those without empathy are minority. You don't need social rules when you have functional mirror neurons.

Fun fact: during the persecutions around the XV-XVI century in Spain, converted jews were called "marranos" which means pig, the word has also acquired the connotation of dirty (because of the pig).

Unbearable pain would be pain that causes death or unconsciousness, thus you cannot experience it. I guess you could make the argument that pain that will eventually knock you unconscious could be classified as unbearable right before you loose consciousness but then we are playing around with words. Anything that you can experience or do is not impossible to experience or do, thus they are not unbearable or "undoable". If a person is given drugs that makes it possible to experience pain that would normally make him go unconscious, the pain is no longer unbearable. I also do parties.
Well, since pain actually CAN kill you and these victims ultimately died.. yeah... i would quite literally call that unbearable! You cannot know that none of the victims died of the pain/shock vs the hanging. Plus, i knew a boy who accidently hung himself while messing around in a barn and he said it was the worst pain ever. It affected him so greatly he became obsessed with firefighters (who saved him) and is now a fire chief! So proud of him! (And before you say it, yes HIS pain was bearable cuz he lived, but just barely. It was all over the news because he "should" have died.)
@YouAre Cancer if the reason for the shock is pain. Thats dying from pain. If you get stabbed you die from bleeding out... but its still accurate to say the stabbing killed you.
If we gave em drugs to make the pain more tolerable, then the whole torture aspect is kind of moot. I get it though, your over-detailed dissection of the technicality of unbearable pain is humorous to me

An interesting conversation I had when I was younger with a friend who was studying to be a pathologist about hanging was that although the kneck would be broken if hanging was carried out correctly, the brain could still register the agony for up to 3 minutes or until the oxygen in the body was depleted. I also saw a video of 3 Iranian men who were hung on a gallow that was just a couple of feet of the floor, the people who carried out this then went of in a van leaving the 3 men dangling, it was obvious the crowd were not very happy about this so they kicked the gallow until it broke and the 3 men had the ropes taken of their necks and they got up and walked away, so yes strangulation is a long process
I dunno that's only if they don't cut off the blood to the brain and you don't passout. I was once till I had an nde and I didn't even remember more than 30 seconds of it. My ex had left the house after he said he held my neck till I stopped breathing for long after my eyes closed. He thought he has offed me and fled after I wouldn't breathe for a long time many minutes after this. I had a crazy time on the other side and woke up with all the furniture on top of me broken in the house and called him and he thought I was a ghost. He did go to jail but for a short time.. Canada.

Despite all the threats made to criminals, scammers, thieves and whatnot, people still behaved against the rules and were risking getting executed.

In many ways, this makes sense. It's a useful psychological 'tool' of tribalism that assists the survival of a community by guarding against potential outside threats. This has of course scaled up quite a bit to the national scale. Not a judgement, but an outside observation: I find it interesting that a predominantly Christian population, Ireland would have such recent historical violence amongst Christians. I'm not well versed in all the details, but it's strange that the Good News didn't have a more positive affect on the population at large and 'do the hard work' of eradicating prejudice. Was it more creed before Word or something like that?

It was to prevent "clipping coins" that some U.S. coins(the dime, quarter, half dollar and dollar) were made with a reeded edge. Those four denominations were originally made of silver. With that edge, someone could easily tell at glance if a coin had been clipped or shaved, and be confident that it still had it's full value and content of silver. Even though those coins no longer contain silver, they still are made with the reeding on the edge.
Also, the ridged edge was originally designed by Isaac Newton after his midlife crisis.
I have two pieces of eight. One is quite crude but the other has lines lines to delineate the proper edge. That one is dated in the 1700s. They both came from wrecks off the Isles of Scilly.
Good trivia.

@@4evermilkman the mideval were disgusting pieces of shit back in those days of England. But at the same time, they weren't the only game in town, neither. And this sort of thing was going on long before rhem too.
Hell... it's stil, going on in modern times, mostly known for by ISIS ...shit like beheadings... stuffing people of all ages, both male and female, into steel cages, and then either slowly lowering the steel cage into a swimming pool, or a lake. Or worse, setting everyone on fire I think they even used the cages for the nitric acid and tar pit executions as well.
And once they were bored with all of those, they started lining up offenders on the street in a row with their wrists and ankles bound to immobilize them, then slowly driving a T-72 tank over them. Those who were executed by being shot in the back of the heads, or laden with explosives... they got off "easy" with those punishments, which if that were going to happen, at least those ways are fast and painless
But I dont think any of those methods even compares to the Persians of 500 bc with their punishment of scaphism. That would be my worst nightmare come true

It would clean that inner city crime right up.
Well yeah, because of the popularity they would have whole festivals built around the events.
I often think of the crowd scene in "The Private Life of Henry VIII," where a jolly group of people are gathered to watch Anne Boleyn's beheading. Although this scene is *not* accurate where Anne was concerned, I think it describes what the execution of an ordinary criminal would look like. Everyone would want a good view, picnic baskets (or the medieval equivalent) would be produced, and the family would have a great time. Sort of like the ancient Romans attending the torture to death of early Christians in the amphitheatre....
Life "back in the day" was really weird. People would travel from miles away and bring their whole families to watch execution and enjoy the festivities. People used to sit out on hills with their families, have picnics, and watch soldiers shoot each other during the revolutionary and civil wars.
We don't have anything nearly as wholesome these days.
Great way to teach the kids not to be a criminal.
i mean we watch live streams of drone footage and reporters in war zones and also see gore videos on the internet. not much has changed, its just not as public anymore.
That's why none of the things we do to each other today shock me. We've always been a violent species. We just keep figuring out different ways to kill each other.
It's because they didn't have wifi. They were bored.
At one early American Civil War battle, a group of civilians had a picnic near the battle field. They had to run when the battle spread to their area.

Dan Carlin reached the same conclusion in his "Painfotainment" episode.

That you watch wars live on TV, premeditated mass murder, but that you don't connect those to executions. That's a curious thing.
Watching people walking into shops/buses, refusing to wear masks, in the early months of COVID, I did wonder about their psychology. They knew that it's possible they could cause someone else serious injury, possibly a lifelong illness, or a desperate death, but they would still enter that shop or bus and to he11 with anyone else. They were gambling they might execute someone and themselves, maybe even starting a hub of death in an area.
My fathers house is built on a former gallows hill. They found the remains of two gallows when digging out the basement to the house and it was later confirmed that that hill, was the primary execution hill, of the town it's now a part of. It's a little over 70 meters tall (about 230 feet) and any vegetation was likely cut down, in order to make the spectacle much more exciting to watch, as well as to deter any would-be criminals. The hill is located less than 50 meters (164 feet) from one of the primary roads to the city. A road which comes from a much larger trading town on Zealand, Denmark.

Climate change just means migration. If you live near the tropics you already screwed.

If you are poor, you are going to just die for the lack of water.
Border control will just be business as usual.
It's not going to be that bad, you are going to see mass migration from tropics to artics by whoever is rich.
Then those extreme gated communities are going to be very lawful against migration.
It's nothing different than what already happens in the Mexico border with the US.
Except that probably will happen between the northern habitable states and the souther uninhabitable ones.
Just extend border control from Mexico inside the US.
That's the worst case scenario.
The best case is just the republic weakening and the states not allowing migration between them by blocking land owning from "aliens" from other states.
That basically locks you where you live.
So if you wanna survive climate change, you better buy land the closest you can from the artic tropics, while you can and its not extreme expensive.

There's a misconception that when asphyxiated by hanging, these people were conscious and suffering up until death because they can be seen struggling. The truth is that you actually lose consciousness rather quickly (typically within mere seconds due to the inability for the blood to reach the brain), but the body continues to struggle reflexively. Death this way sounds much longer and torturous than it actually is.
Yes look at choke holds in UFC
Even when the neck is broken does the body still flop about for up to several minutes depending on the level of stress the person was going through (which you could imagine would be a lot)
If you've ever culled a rabbit with the broomstick method or decapitated a chicken you'll know what I mean
As a survivor. I can tell you. Not always.
First time huh?
It depends on the details.
The Danish Bog Man wasn't hung, they found him with a braided leather cord around his neck, but I've been to see him and clearly his throat had been cut. His curators say the leather cord was probably used for leading him around, like a dog's leash.
When I see his pic it always jumps out at me that he still has his leather hat and the braided leather rope. It seems like the material and labor to make them would have made them too valuable to waste.
Or dragging the body to the bog.
He was hanged, his neck appears to be cut because the rope dug into his skin when he was hung. His tongue was found to be distended which is consistent with someone who is hanged.
@@Vincinate If you were standing there looking at him chatting it up with Gravbolleman's curators you wouldn't be talking that way. You'd be listening and thinking, and not discharging crazy ass statements about how you know more than they do, Mr. Armchair Forensic Scientist.

During the 1965 coup in my country, (to shorthen the complicated long history) my mom, she was a young girl living in a village said when she heard the gun roaring she knew some people accused to be the "communists" were put in a squared 2x1 meter wide hole, that one hole was crammed in for 10 people standing waiting to be gunned down and burried there. Not to mention other horrible tortures. My mom sometimes she said went to the location when the gun shot heard in the morning so she could start walking to that doomed riverbank quite far from her house to watch the execution. In two decades to come the area was considered spooky that we as kids sometimes could see skeletons and bones and some jeweleries scattered on the ground. Later on my mom married my dad who happened to be one of the young member of the party, got sentenced but escaped death. They did not make the sweet couple. My childhood was familiar with violent narcistic dearest of a mom...that one day as i grew up taller and bigger than my mother i asked her in awe: i wonder between you and dad, which one is the real trained "communist". I learnt that violence could be engraved within us without us knowing it. But when we quite aware of what was going on, we could end the circle.

Gandalf:
...I don't know. Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid... and he gives me courage.”

As fascinating as I've always found the Medieval period, it's insane how killing was such a common practice of everyday life back then. And people didn't just enjoy killing; they enjoyed being as heinous and brutal as possible. Even more interesting that this has gone on for the majority of human history, and it's only been in the last couple of centuries that people realized how atrocious it is. Hopefully we continue to evolve from our old ways.
Humans can still be just as brutal. But yeah back then life was way harder and more violent and brutal. There are still many bad places and things happening in present day unfortunately.
Imagine a family outing being something as dark as watching a man slowly die from exposure. Humanity was so dark back then. Although its no better these days we just learned to lie and mask it in false morality more efficiently.
Depending on your family's breeding, there are many humans today who would be completely appalled to torture or needless suffering. Some humans evolved, most did not. Most human are still ruled by instinct and not "humanity" which makes them more like animals than men. Something as common as cheating on your spouse betrays how evolved a person really is. When you put instant gratification before long term happiness/peace, you act more like an animal than a human.
There are some people who still perform inbreeding. Just like dogs. Most people puke at the thought of inbreeding. In that sense, there is already a difference in evolution.
Speak for yourself!

Yes, one is real and one is fake, but the lower part of ourselves doesn’t make that distinction. It still scratches and itch and that’s all our brain cares about. Public execution is essentially snuff theatre.

Silly idea that you can write exact number... in martial arts with proper technique you are out in few seconds and in the same time if you just gonna try to use a rope then you need to take into consideration that the victim muscles on the neck are there to protect the neck and in case of a strong man he can easly be consious for minutes.

You just told on yourself.
Some of have a strong revulsion to that stuff, which is also called "empathy". Statistically those without empathy are minority. You don't need social rules when you have functional mirror neurons.
we have a choice. public suffering isnt mine..whether now or then i would get away. my memories of english guys in my teens tells me that ime not surprised that a crude blood bath was okay. theres a crude and violent streak there among some
@@kirstiehiorns2702 Are you suggesting English men are more violent than others?
yes
You really should do Edward II at Berkeley Castle. 'His face was fearful to behold'. I'll spoil it if I write more.

Religion has brought so much joy throughout history.
Humans need no religion to do this. Stalin laughs in his grave, when you say these things.
@@futuristica1710 you're not wrong
Is it any wonder that the same species who invented these torture methods also came up with the concept of hell? Mankind is the most self-loathing creature on the planet.
It's no wonder at all that you think that, being so self loathing and all
@john heiskell Who cares what's wrong with the planet full of people you find so detestable if your own world sucks because of your own loathsome actions. First step to a better world is fixing your own.
@@luminis-novum Utopian, but very true statements. But, we know most people rather be self loathing. Getting better is hard. It’s easier to be sad.
@@fm-9129 Idealistic maybe, but there's nothing unfeasible about fixing your own world. People wake up and do it all the time and the become excellent human beings. Fixing yourself is the easy part man. That's the clearest way forward is fixing what's wrong. The hard part is knowing how much you've had a hand in your own problems and facing the demon that is knowing you've sucked for a long long time.
@@luminis-novum you’ll know what I mean when you’ve actually tried to help these people in real life. They’re pretty much NPCs programmed to be miserable in the matrix.
Hell yes! You got me straight hooked on your videos
I recommend reading Frantz Schmidt's diary ,it is an invaluable insight to an executioner's life and execution methods , he wrote down every one of them
I really want to. Can you tell me where to get a copy?
@@Luna-wg6ic In 3 seconds I did a quick copy/paste on the name, and found dozens of books, audibles and videos. Unreal you are that Simple Minded to even ask "Can you tell me where to get a copy?" 🙄
@@coloradostrong So I'm assuming you now have a copy of his diary then? Or just a load of other stuff that isn't his diary.
I read this last year, it paints a picture of a guy just doing a job to the best of his ability. It also goes into some detail about his life long fight with the authorities to have the imposed social stigma of being an executioner removed from his family so that his children could have better lives.
@@lionbar999 He sounds a very interesting man, almost the opposite of Jack Ketch.
I enjoy your videos, sir, thank you.
Yes 👍 You've got to make more of this type of Content.
Great channel, m’man. Learning a lot, liked a subscribed.
Theses a hill a few kms out of the city i live in called “Gibbet hill”. The lasted person to be hanged and Gibbeted was in the early 1800’s for murder. He killed a rich man that had raped his daughter. Just before Gibbet hill is the drive way to the poor father property where there’s still a patch of yellow wildflowers in the field. Where the daughter was rape when she was picking the flowers one day.
The fucking injustice is goddamn frustrating in this comment of yours.
Brilliant channel , thanks
How many of Henry's victims had a land claim?
Looks like I'm kinda early. Nice video, keep it up brother.
My grandfather witnessed a brutal public decapitation when he was a kid. It was common and entertainment to see criminals die in public but he was shocked and talks about it every now and then. He has never forgotten. Also hes seen much much worse than that in his home country . Alot worse
"It was common and entertainment to see criminals die in public". No it wasn't. Not in the 20th century.
What country was he from?
Fun fact: during the persecutions around the XV-XVI century in Spain, converted jews were called "marranos" which means pig, the word has also acquired the connotation of dirty (because of the pig). They were called so because the upheld their beliefs in secrecy although they had converted to avoid persecution.
Port Arthur penal colony was the last place in the British Empire to use death by Gibbet in 1853
Well, when you're in these situations you don't particularly care about how you look or sound. It's about withdrawing and dealing with the pain.
The ridges on the coins was to make coin clipping more difficult. This was Isaac Newtons job for awhile.
The portrait of Aske appeared to be about 200 years after the portrait of Henry VI, randomly shown whilst discussing Robert Constable. They must have just found some portraiture and thought “ oh well, that looks old, that’ll do”!
Who is aske
I was always told that excessive gibbeting would make me go blind….😂🤣😂
To quote someone else's comment, they must have played a lot of violent video games back then to be so murderous
Unbearable pain would be pain that causes death or unconsciousness, thus you cannot experience it. I guess you could make the argument that pain that will eventually knock you unconscious could be classified as unbearable right before you loose consciousness but then we are playing around with words. Anything that you can experience or do is not impossible to experience or do, thus they are not unbearable or "undoable". If a person is given drugs that makes it possible to experience pain that would normally make him go unconscious, the pain is no longer unbearable.
I also do parties.
I dunno... I think unbearable pain is just north of " meh, that's bearable." So more like a harsh annoyance.
I'd totally go to said party.
Well, since pain actually CAN kill you and these victims ultimately died.. yeah... i would quite literally call that unbearable! You cannot know that none of the victims died of the pain/shock vs the hanging.
Plus, i knew a boy who accidently hung himself while messing around in a barn and he said it was the worst pain ever. It affected him so greatly he became obsessed with firefighters (who saved him) and is now a fire chief! So proud of him! (And before you say it, yes HIS pain was bearable cuz he lived, but just barely. It was all over the news because he "should" have died.)
@YouAre Cancer if the reason for the shock is pain. Thats dying from pain. If you get stabbed you die from bleeding out... but its still accurate to say the stabbing killed you.
If we gave em drugs to make the pain more tolerable, then the whole torture aspect is kind of moot. I get it though, your over-detailed dissection of the technicality of unbearable pain is humorous to me
@Censored Opinions I do not mingle with the non-pompous.
love this channel!
Humans are the cruelest life on earth
What is the symbol on the top of the screen at 2:00?
I went to look, hoping I could answer you, but honestly, I think it’s either part of an old manuscript or adapted from something like that. It looks like the weird morphed animals found in the margin drawings of those manuscripts. Is it on any other videos here? Could be like a logo for the channel.🤔🙂
Everyone gets your best Sunday dress on... we're taking the wagon into town to witness another public hanging! ☠️ Picnic anyone? No doubt everyone's extra excited at the prospect of "HEADS WILL ROLL" 🗣️
There's no shortage of cruelty in the world.😢
"Fun" fact...the English band Spandau Ballet (Hit song "True), gets their name from the dance hanged prisoners did at the end of the short drop method at Spandau prison.
I think it was from the Spandau machine gun
youtube never fails to give me great ideas.
My grandpa saw a hanging when he was 6. Crazy.
New to the channel, great content!
An interesting conversation I had when I was younger with a friend who was studying to be a pathologist about hanging was that although the kneck would be broken if hanging was carried out correctly, the brain could still register the agony for up to 3 minutes or until the oxygen in the body was depleted. I also saw a video of 3 Iranian men who were hung on a gallow that was just a couple of feet of the floor, the people who carried out this then went of in a van leaving the 3 men dangling, it was obvious the crowd were not very happy about this so they kicked the gallow until it broke and the 3 men had the ropes taken of their necks and they got up and walked away, so yes strangulation is a long process
Wow
What an example of a second chance at life! I hope these 3 men were able to go on and life their lives to the fullest and love and be loved.
I dunno that's only if they don't cut off the blood to the brain and you don't passout. I was once till I had an nde and I didn't even remember more than 30 seconds of it. My ex had left the house after he said he held my neck till I stopped breathing for long after my eyes closed. He thought he has offed me and fled after I wouldn't breathe for a long time many minutes after this. I had a crazy time on the other side and woke up with all the furniture on top of me broken in the house and called him and he thought I was a ghost. He did go to jail but for a short time.. Canada. Also my nde was about a bunch of souls rising to the sky and a flash from the sun, the sky was green and sparkly. It was like a biblical harvest of souls in the future.. this was 10 years ago before I knew what that was
@@dallymoo7816 manual strangulation is very different, you're very lucky that he thought you had died, that was a truly horrific experience and I'm glad you managed to get some justice, it reminds me of the time I was hit so hard I saw stars, I thought that was just something made up in cartoon but during the time I was floored I wasn't aware of anything either
I sure am glad that we have theme parks, museums, art galleries, concerts, sports events, movies, and other types of modern entertainment where I can take my family.
Despite all the threats made to criminals, scammers, thieves and whatnot, people still behaved against the rules and were risking getting executed. Think about today where none of this hangs over our heads and you get generations of people doing whatever they want, whenever they want to whoever they want without fearing any kind of reprisals.
I don't follow. Are you saying we *should* execute people for petty crimes today?
There is a wonderful and elegant simplicity in putting someone in a metal cage exposed to the elements and just leaving them there - Somewhat like a visible oubliette.
Bloc I would like to be put in one
Being raised in Ireland in the 60’s we never experienced racism but there was plenty of hate to go around between the English , people from any other County other than yours , or basically anyone who was doing better than you.....so I reckon it’s just in our dna and is a fault we have to admit to and work hard to eradicate !
Yes, I believe India must allow at least 300 million Africans to emigrate there otherwise I question their commitment to multiculturalism. Also China needs at least 500 million Indians to move there too, it's nowhere near diverse enough for my liking.
@@Veldtian1 Facts right there. While we're at it we should move some refugees to the Koreas too. Pig jong Un will be able to say their nukes are assembled by diverse workers so that Americans get off their backs
@@Veldtian1The CCP would love to have more people to reeducate and organs to supply their market.
In many ways, this makes sense. It's a useful psychological 'tool' of tribalism that assists the survival of a community by guarding against potential outside threats. This has of course scaled up quite a bit to the national scale. Not a judgement, but an outside observation: I find it interesting that a predominantly Christian population, Ireland would have such recent historical violence amongst Christians. I'm not well versed in all the details, but it's strange that the Good News didn't have a more positive affect on the population at large and 'do the hard work' of eradicating prejudice. Was it more creed before Word or something like that?
What about the knackers ? 😂
Definitely one of the best suggestions that TH-cam has ever given to me. Great channel - informative and entertaining.
Thankyou for the accurate description of my very distant ancestor"s demise, as there have been a few variations of it given, as an aside it was said at his execution that concern was shown as on being forced into the cage one of his shoes came off.
what is the name of the place featured in the very last frames of this video?
