The only surviving part of the Houses of Parliament that Guy Fawkes tried to blow up is Westminster hall. Everything else was lost in a fire in the 1830s.
Hung, drawn and quartered means you are Half hung, (short rope and cut down before death) you are then drawn, which means being stretched by horses, disembowelled before being beheaded and then dismembered. They also sent the pieces to the farthest reaches so they could not rest in peace or be whole if they were particularly "bad"/dangerous/hated etc.
The intention with hung drawn and quartered was to keep them alive as long as possible. First they would be dragged on a hurdle to the scaffold, then they would be hung briefly, no drop, just a pulled into the air by the noose. Then they would have their privies cut off, then their inards would be drawn out and burnt before them. Death would come when their head was removed, the quartering was after death. It was intended to be as awful as possible as it was reserved for treason. Whether hanging was better than a firing squad would depend on how good a shot the squad was and when the hanging was, because in the period described here, those hung did not usually have their neck broken, they were slowly strangled. The most feared method was burning, not used on witches in England, but for heretics and various crimes by women.
Westminster Hall, at the front of Houses of Parliament, facing Parliament Square is one of the original parts of the H of P. The H of P's formal title is the Palace of Westminster and dates back over a thousand years. The Hall was where the late Queen Lay in State before her funeral, it's also where several important trials took place over the centuries. The bulk of the current gothic style building was designed by Charles Barry following a fire (not the first) in 1834. Rebuilding started in 1840 and took 30 years. Much of the ancient House was incorporated into the rebuild.
My relative Edward Oxford narrowly avoided being hung, drawn and quartered at Newgate after his attempt to assassinate Queen Victoria. Instead, he was sent to Bedlam for 20 odd years then emigrated to Australia
A short drop/rope or a slow hoist means you asphyxiate, kicking and thrashing (the jig) and take a long time to die. The preferable method (as a victim) is the long drop with a short stop, where the longer rope lets you fall a bit then the rope runs out and your weight breaks your neck.
@@biancawolf8116 It wouldn't surprise me, though they would likely have said it was to make a stronger example of what happens to wrongdoers, rather than pleasing the crowd, in public at least.
Chef Richard was publicly boiled alive at Smithfield in London in 1531, where according to a contemporary source he 'roared mighty loud' and the crowd were shocked and felt sick. Also, that year, a servant girl was publicly boiled in King's Lynn for poisoning her mistress.
Anthony Babington was my ancestor's ( Gervase Babbington) cousin, their father's were brothers. He was the last person to be hung, drawn and quartered alive. Public outcry was such that Queen Elizabeth declared from that day forward they shall be hung until quite dead. It was the torture both before and during that was worse than the actual killing. There is a TH-cam story about his crime and execution.
I wonder if people took their kids to a good old hanging on a Saturday afternnon? "Hello Mrs Raleigh, been shopping?" "No, it is just my hubby's head".
Before a better scaffold was adopted, It was not unusual for the relatives and friends of prisoners to pull on their legs to shorten their suffering.A short drop strangled you, rather than breaking your neck..Yet another reaction that makes me doubt Connor ever studied history, or has any real interest in it..
What do you mean we would do that? We are still doing it. Still have public executions in Saudi Arabia, North Korea even in the US there are spektators in the execution room.
Correct! One of my 'pet peeves' is people NOT knowing the difference between 'hung' or 'hang'. Clothes or pictures are hung, but people are ALWAYS hanged! A judge would have said "...taken to a place of execution and be hanged by the neck until dead..."😎

And, to name a few; 'The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe', 'Moll Flanders', 'Captain Singleton', 'Roxana, the Fortunate Mistress' and 'Colonel Jack' (plus much more, including essays, pamphlets and articles etc !).

@@stewedfishproductions7959 Aye, and plenty of abridged, nay burnt material/pamphlets. He knew the score, being up againt some of the "hard hitters" in English literature.
Only Westminster Hall would have been there from the current Houses of Parliament. The term hung, drawn and quartered is a bit misleading. Drawn, Hanged and quartered would be more accurate as the condemned was dragged by the feet behind a horse, hanged until near death and then opened up while still alive.
Also, PLEASE don't keep saying HUNG! The correct term is HANGED... The correct use of the words hung or hanged: - Objects (like clothes or pictures) are 'hung', but people are ALWAYS 'hanged'. Don't get lazy and start saying things like American's use the phrase "I COULD care less...", when the mean "I COULDN'T care less..." 😎 It drives me mad that correct use of English seems to be leaving a lot to be desired - Just saying - LOL 😃
Technically it was drawn hung and quartered.. drawn to the site...partially hung...then quartered.. Disembowelled.... arms off..legs off. Head off.....head on a pole at city gates..
The Houses of Parliament seen today is not the same as the one Guy Fawkes tried to destroy, the current one was built between 1840 and 1876, the old palace was largely destroyed by fire in 1834.
@@londonlion5179 ... I think you need to follow your own advice. The attempt to blow up Parliament was at the Palace of Westminster on the 5th November 1605, the plot was discovered on the evening of 4th of November. The cellar was under the Palace of Westminster and does not exist any longer as it was destroyed in the fire that destroyed Parliament in 1834. They were tried for treason in Westminster hall on 27th January 1606, all were convicted and sentenced to death. The gun powder plot was in the cellar under the Palace of Westminster (no longer existing), the trial was at the Westminster hall (only surviving building after the fire of 1834). Hope that clarifies things for you, enjoy reading your history book.

Unfortunately people were still alive when hang, drawn and quartered. You would be hung until almost dead before being disembowelled etc.
Neat! My regular hospital! Thanks!
There were a lot of places in Essex (my home county). Gallows Corner, (Romford) HMP Chelmsford (Chelmsford) and many other places had execution sites
Brutal times Connor , the fact some states in the u.s. still have executions is horrible in my opinion . Interesting video 😊.
Better than keeping them on the taxpayers' money for life, if they deserve it.
Current times are demonstrably less brutal than its ever been.

It’s sad to say it Connor but your correct in saying in this time we could actually be the same as our ancestors .

Connor is getting the same enjoyment as the spectators he's criticising. Hold my McDonald's coffee while I get a better look at the hanging.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they prolong the whole thing just for the sake of the spectators? At least that's what I read.

Pissing when you can't whistle.
One of My ancestors, Miles Corbet M.P. was executed at Tyburn in 1662. His Offence -- He was one of those who signed Charles I death warrant.
Now then, mr Corbet; Who signed it first ? I think ya know what i mean.

I live in King's Lynn and I am ashamed to admit I didn't know that.

When it comes to cruel execution methods I think the 'Brazen bull' takes some beating.

We would do that!
Americans still do 😂
The aim of some executions was to cause as much suffering as possible. I don’t know who would think of such hideous methods. Brutal times.
The papish flagellants were pretty handy at it, ms Dyer.
They were cut apart bit by bit so they would feel it. Yes, certainly alive!
What do you mean we would do that? We are still doing it. Still have public executions in Saudi Arabia, North Korea even in the US there are spektators in the execution room.
Not in North Korea
yes in North Korea. I watchedan interview with North Korean defector and she said they are made to watch it happen@@stopkillinghazaras
@@Martek127 these defectors say alot, the more extreme the story the more money they get paid by the CIA
I rather believe them then the North Korean regime @@stopkillinghazaras
Another saying: one for the road. The one who sticks out for me is Rob Roy McGregor. He lived near where I was born.
'Hanged, drawn and quartered.' People are hanged, pictures are hung.
Death penalty is in America....,.....
I've been in that pub 😁
Hanged drawn and quartered, (not hung}

@@stewedfishproductions7959 Pedantry should be a hanging offence !!

Hanging death isn't as fast as you may think.
Your problem mcjibbin is you DO NOT PAY ATTENTION!!!!! After all the things you have watched, you should be a general knowledge expert.
Aw, give Connor a break. Everyone has off days, and he watches so many videos he barely has time to absorb them before moving on to the next one!
Connor is an idiot. How could you not know that by now.
He's got a medical condition, ms Smith. Can't you see/hear that ? ADHD, i think.

Different building
Firing squad is far better than hanging

Disembowelled.... arms off..legs off.

They didn't surrive 3 tides. They died slowly by strangulation not like a long drop with an instant neck break.
Since you ask if the "drawing and quartering" was done after death, the answer is... nope. I won't get into the grisly details, you better look it up.

To be hung on a gibbet alone was a slow death, it wasn't a sudden neck break.
I have an ancestor executed as a highwayman in 1618.
Sir Walter Raleigh actually survived the beheading but died from suffocation when his wife tied the bag up to tight ...
No way would I want to be hanged instead of being shot.
That's just London 😊
Lot of jumping around.
