The HORRIFIC Execution Of The King Killer RIPPED APART BY HORSES!

- Throughout the 17th Century in France, there was many executions during the French Revolution. However before this there was a brutal execution carried out in Paris, as a man who attempted to kill the French King Louis XV was pulled apart by horses. Robert-Francois Damiens was a man who was disturbed throughout his life and he blamed Louis XV for many of his problems. However whilst the King was climbing into his carriage, Damiens lunged at him with a knife and almost assassinated him.
Following this he was arrested and was tortured, before he was condemned to die and he was to be drawn and quartered by horses. This was brutal. He was brought to his place of execution, and was tortured before his limbs were attached to horses and they were then driven off in different directions. Witnessed were disgusted by what they saw, but some even sickeningly applauded as the man was quite literally ripped to pieces.
It was executions like this that made execution by the guillotine seem merciful.
And made the executions of French royals and aristocrats during the Revolution inevitable.
Guillotine was probly one of the most humane execution methods (messy,but painless and quick)
@@davehoward22 Probably even better than modern techniques, although no one's ever lived to tell the tale. Supposably they did experiments on some of the heads to see how long awareness lasted, a macabre rabbit hole one could go down if so pleased.
@@stevefugere2687 you are unaware that the guillotine WAS used in modern times
For those having trouble understanding this kind of brutality, remember back then life was cheap. Not just in terms of crime and punishment, but just living in general. People died constantly from disease, infections, starvation etc. Surviving to your second birthday was an achievement. As was surviving past your 40th..
Henry VIII was described by a contemporary as being in his dotage at 50. Queen Elizabeth at 69 was thought to have lived to an extraordinary age at the time.
Back then life was cheap? What about WWII concentration camps?
@@djquinn11 - I was referring to normal societal life in general. Thought that was obvious..
Exactly right
Well, one very big cause of all the horrific tortures inflicted on the accused or convicted, was that the Holy Scriptures were not available to the general public. And in those Scriptures there is no intimation of inflicting any of that kind of torture or suffering on any other human being at all. In fact, in the New Testament those kind of punishments of course, were totally unthinkable, and forbidden. And in the Old Testament it was just stoning and getting it over with very quickly. No, they had no measure or yardstick to go by, but once the Scriptures started getting into general circulation, little by little that stuff stopped. It took a long time, and it took a long wrong time, but in the Western world that kind of stuff mostly ceased to exist. Except, of course, by the Socialist governments and peoples, be it the German National Socialists or International Communist Socialists, but then again it's from the non- Judaic/Christian sectors and philosophies.
This is an example of what the Constitution calls "cruel and unusual punishment". Nowadays, it's used for complaining about no cable TV in a prisoner's cell.
Human Rights lawyers have quashed deportation orders of foreign criminals from being sent back to their country if it has a hot climate and the jails are not air conditioned. They argue that under article 3 of the ECHR this would constitute a cruel and unusual punishment.
Matevhour comment is awesome.
Mate your sorry autocorrect
What Constitution?
Modern American lockups aren't cakewalks. There's plenty of real cruel and unusual punishment in the mental wards.
So Much Savagery! The Horrific ways they used for Punishment are Absolutely Terrifying!!
they are old sick people we don't need to read any history we need to destroy all statues
The ways some countries still do it continues the terror.
@@bobhill3941 included usa , iran execute minors and some middle east countries .
@@braveheart6665 Yes
Also may have served as a deterrent.
I read an account of this execution in a Pan Book of Horrors (remember them?). It was absolutely horrific, and it has stayed in my mind for at least forty years!
The evil of human kind.
Search for Joseph Pride executioner if you want to learn the real story.
@@danpride2804 It was Charles Henri Sanson who executed him.
@@davidscott2821Based on what?
@@davidscott2821 Based on?
Human beings truly are depraved.
Maybe this is where the terms "hold your horses" and "don't go to pieces" came from?
How someone could order such atrocities and people watch such horror tells me the people of that age are beyond my understanding.
Remember they didn't have internet back then.
Are we any better today. Flying planes into buildings; dismembering babies, atomic weaponry, unspeakable crimes,etc.
Those who don’t learn the lessons of history are bound to commit them over again. And again and again; ad infinitum.
I suggest you educate yourself on history..
In Roman times torture and execution of criminals took place at noon following the slaughter of animals in the morning. People would bring their food and wine to enjoy with the screams of agony of the tortured and murdered.
@@redmi9834 and if the emperor wasn't pleased by the performance he would call for audience participation.
Good morning, and I hope you're doing well. Thank You, as ALWAYS ,for your Excellent videos, on each of your Channels.
that kind of punishment needs to be applied today to killers, rapists, and corrupts, and I could swear that all criminals gonna think twice before act.
going to a gonna means dead. You from USA l expect.
Those people were insane and cruel.
This is how dictators use terror to maintain control. The torture is not for the victim, its a warning for the peasants and nobles.
The brutality of executions during these times are very creative i must say but absolutely merciless and horrible.
You mentioned the name of Charles-Henri Sanson, as the executioner of Damiens. Actually, Charles-Henri only became official executioner in Paris much later. Damiens’ execution took place in 1757, but Sanson’s “heyday” was in the Revolution which started in 1789.
It was probably Charles-Henri’s uncle, Gabriel Sanson, who officiated at the execution of Damiens. He was assisted by his servant, André Legris, who carried out the worst tortures of poor Damiens.
The French Revolution was 1789, not the 17th century. Note also that despite the horrific torture, he was burnt and his ashes scattered. For a Catholic then, this was tantamount to a sentence to eternity in hell, as the body was not buried whole, let alone in consecrated ground, and could not therefore rise again at the Last Judgment.
If we have this punishment today, a lot of serial killers would apply for this job. Medieval executioners were just the modern day serial killers who had a chance to excercise their blood lust.
Don't talk utter rubbish! It was a job someone had to do but they didn't give it to murderers. They were on the recieving end, Sherlock.
@@michealtaylor7745 please. Ripping and cutting flesh of the victims, burning alive, rip apart limbs. Only blood thirst serial killers would apply for this kind of job. No sane human being enjoy doing these things. Medieval executioners I repeat were just the modern day version of serial killers who had a chance to excercise their fetish ...legally 😳
I dunno..I have a feeling it was just a job, but possibly viewed as a 'righteous' job - dispensing with the reprobates and criminals. You have to remember the times they lived in. Incredibly brutal. The executioner(s) probably attended many executions and were just used to it. Or they were favored soldiers and just following orders. Just surmising of course. But I feel it was gainful employment as there didn't appear to be a shortage of executions.
@@billmcmahon5454 apparently the pay and rewards were good financially.
Serial killers do their job at their will, they are free. An executioner strictly follows commands and orders.
The horses I bet on rip my wallet up.
👌
Me too. Cheltenham yesterday was an absolute joke. I did get lucky on a lucky 15 last week though.
Glad I didn’t live in those times.
Imagine having crude surgery and amputations without anaesthetic. And the very risky business of giving birth. Maternal mortality was very high up to the Victorian era.
@@redmi9834 drilling heads of people with dementia, using leaches as a cure, putting a funnel up someone arse to feed a Person that Carnot eat(this was on Toni Robinson program) plus burning witches, but they all crowded round to watch some poor sod being decapitated is was a very disturbing times.
The king likely deserved this more than his failed assassin.
The actual executioner of Charles 1st was Joseph Pride, son of Thomas Pride of Prides Purge. Shocker of Shockers,... he was 12 years old when he chopped the kings head off !! Fascinating story, find it on the web .
These days, in the UK, the lunatics use eggs.
He will suffer the same fate.
And then he appeals for crowd funding for his court and legal fees. Anybody who threw an egg at any of rulers in the Gulf States would have been shot dead on the spot, and they would not give a damn for any criticism from the UN or the Human Rights Commission.
Who're you calling a lunatic? You're just as bad for saying such rot.
People sure were bloodthirsty back then.i think we all know those days will be back again soon.
Read some history and you will realise it has probably been happening ever since there were more than a few hundred humans on this planet.
Surely you've read about the Romans' spectacles for entertainment involving animals attacking humans never mind a giraffe trained to attempt copulation with a woman.
Then we get to more recent times and the experiments in concentration camps performed by both Germans and Japanese.
Look around the internet for particularly evil things involving cartels in South America, lots of evidence if you need it
@@samolevski1119 I'm sure any horrible thing you can think of has already been done and worse...
Cant see people today taking their families to watch someone being hung drawn and quartered
Don't talk rot. Only the States has the death penalty & that's seen as barbaric around the rest of the free world. Those days are religated to history, & will never come bk.
@@michealtaylor7745way to make everything political. You have no idea what's goin on in Africa or South America or some Muslim countries. Do a lil research biddy.you sound silly
So much for the good old days 😂😂🤣
That doesn't refer to bk then. But ppl who remember how easy life was when they were young.
Casanova wrote about this execution and said his screaming was horrendous to hear (unsuprisin gly)
It is strange that the same people in Europe who loved all manner of horror and had colorful ways of dispatching others have become the biggest simps in the modern world. Nowadays, if you kill a hundred people in Europe, you will get a prison cell akin to a five start hotel with all the amenities for how long...10-15 years or so. Very rarely do people do real "life" in prison in Europe nowadays.
Oh yes they do. Serial killers never get released from prison. They get life, meaning life, just as in Britain.
@@michealtaylor7745 No matter, they still live quite well in prison, a 5 star hotel prison, by incarceration standards, even if for life. Ideally, they should be locked in a 10 foot x 10 foot cell and let out each day for 45 minutes-1 hour of "recreation." This is how death row inmates are kept in the US. The Western world is suffering from a strange sort of infirmity where it kills millions in its empire-making wars but will go out of its way for someone who has raped and murdered several, including children. No wonder the West is in a decline. Their elites have gone insane.
And then people is shocked by how bloody the French Revolution was.
Just look at what kings did. So relieving to know how Louis XV's grandson ended.
As is often the case, the culprit gets away, so the mob settles for the scapegoat.
👎🏻💩
Poor horses
When the enemy tries to kill a king, he must disappear during the approach. There several tricks to kill a king, special alien stabbing devices, they look harmless. When in use, the pin pops out same, as in a thermometer. Machine sawing pin describes the weapon, when it is engaged.
Old time mental health care, oh the good old days.
Excellent summary! @TheFortress can you tell me which artist did the Louis XV portrait @1:44? Thanks in advance!
It didn't go well? Really? How could it go right?
Ice cream for the kiddies
They probably though that's what RIP meant.
This horrible, depraved, very public cruelty was meant to be the ultimate deterrent to keep the masses in line. It just shows me how brave and desperate the Commoners who kicked off the 1789 revolution must have been.
I guess you missed just how horrific the masses were during the French revolution, huh?
@@maxsdad538 No, and yes, they were
@@maxsdad538 After that many French men were forced to fight outside their country by Napoleon and many were killed during the battle. 😟😟😟
It is part of the ideology of Islam that justice must be seen to done publicly and that it should be a salutary warning that this what you can expect if you break the law.
You mean the commoners who turned the revolution into a large scale blood bath and put France through a period so dark it is known as The Terror?
This was an excess even for the time, but society as a whole was used to degrees of violence we have been fortunate not to experience in Europe for some time.
You shouldn’t try to kill the king. A bad plan from the start.
Ouch !
This is related in "A Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens
A curiosity when it comes to this horrendous execution is that the royal executioner in charge of the affair later went on to execute Louis XVI, the grandson of Louis XV
I heard when Richard the Lion heart was assassinated. In riden bed he issued forgiveness to the assassin and released him before he dead.
Jesus... thats a horrendous way to execute someone. You have to be a psychopath to carry that out on someone
Things were different then. It seems psychotic now but wasn't then.
Didn't want to pay the fine😵💫
It took over 4 hours to kill this poor man, this execution stained Louis XV reign and disgusted the whole of European society over the cruelty of it.
People didn’t have TV then.
A true monster truck rally, execution, show live on TV ? IDK.
It's terrible and I feel sorry for him, but I also think that he did wrong at hurting the king and that he could think it twice before doing it
Horrível! Terrível !!!!
He won’t do that again!
By the time they finished, he would have been 10 feet tall. LOL
@@BigLisaFan How so? He was'nt just racked, he was ripped apart, Sherlock.
@@michealtaylor7745 Stretched out. LOL Guess he went to pieces.
Famous quotes: "This day is going be hard."😎
Goodness! I don't think there's a type of overkill that surpasses this! When did society begin to be less extreme with these kinds of executions? just imagine if they would have gone on. up to even now. i'd dare bet there'd be a heck of a lot fewer criminals! Mankind is vicious!
It’ll be back soon😉
@@edwardoleyba3075 nah...i realize how barbaric as a people we are, but i think we've improved a tad? then again...thx, edwardo!
@@mari-greciaodal2436 . We’re dealing with a DIFFERENT demographic now. Beheadings and such will become the “new norm”.
@@edwardoleyba3075 well, if that comes to be,
as the criminal, i'd rather have my head chopped off than be ripped apart. both hurt like hell, i guess...but i'm just saying, you know if i had a choice?
Still be criminals. This bloke was bonkers, he ought to have been put in an asylum. Always will have criminals, people will always be callous & enjoy someone else's misfortune.
king was quite the snowflake, gets one little scratch and then has his attacker torn apart.
Lese Majeste Law. Any attack on the king's person by word or action and you were likely to be executed.
Makes you realise that we Brits were not so bad after all. Burnt at the stake, Hung Drawn & Quartered - easy ways to go in comparison!
You reckon? You wouldn't think that if you were being burned alive, or hung, drawn & quatererd. Or beheaded. That was horrific & won't ever come bk in use today!
Umm the Tower of London? Look what they did to Guy and the other Gun Powder Plotters. Beat them, stretched them on the rack, dragged them, hung them, cut off their gentiles, burned them, removed their guts, quartered them with Horses and then burned the corpses....
Why do you repeat the story at the end?
If only we see these kinda horrific punishments & executions today

...".It was....VERY AGONZING...." - - ???????? !!!!!!! You bet it was !!!!!!
So cruel
Pet hate, why say 'at 4pm in the afternoon'? It's either 'at 4pm' or 'at 4 in the afternoon'. That aside, interesting mini documentary. Never heard of him before
'4am in the morning' is a line from Mike Oldfield's Moonlight Shadow. Always bugged me.
That's what you get for trying to kill the king...
And inmates today complain when they don’t get their favorite ice cream…
This is a lie.
Says someone who's never even been inside a prison. I have, & its no f*cking joke!
There is no evidence that he was castrated. It doesn't appear in contemporary accounts.
Coming to a town near you soon 😉
He probably wasn't wrong that the monarchy was at the root of many of his problems, along with the majority of the populations problems.
This kind of executions were staged to the massive crowd to set an example. "Try the same and see what happens to you".
Bring it back-quarter some sense into 'em
I would, on the whole, have preferred that the ghastly old tortures had disappeared earlier and simple hanging been normalized much sooner. Though I intellectually appreciate the role of political and judicial theatre in both keeping the mob sated and in demonstrating that justice is done and that the state is in command of the situation. Otherwise order might break down completely in what were, after all, extremely under-administered and almost totally un-policed societies compared with today.
Just came here for reference material for my not made yet violent manga.
Those French hey!
"france had a fascnation of executions..." what , and we didnt !
It was a French doctor who advocated the guillotine to replace the horrific execution of being broken on the wheel. It could take days before a person died.
This is nothing. In china and vietnam, they had people died by thousand of knife and plier cut. Some as young as 7 had to endure more than 3 thousand cuts
Don't believe everything you read or hear, as its not true.
@@michealtaylor7745 what do you mean not true??
@@michealtaylor7745 even what you just wrote?! Now what?! 😮
When it gets down to it the French have a long history of just being some sadistic people
Good deterrent
How so? It failed to stop murder or anyother crimes! Just as the death penalty in America isn't a deterrent today! Barbaric.
It's funny to me how he confess to his wife all these things just to have egg on his face.these royals and their egos I tell ya.
Totally un-Christian and deranged evil. Where in Scriptures did they ever get the idea to do those kind of punishments? Nowhere.
It was Yahweh who told Moses to have the man who broke the Sabbath day rest by gathering sticks to take him outside the camp and the people to stone him to death. The same who said "you shall not suffer a witch to live." There were many death sentence crimes in the Moseic law. One was for striking your mother or father.
@@redmi9834 That's right, there were death sentences for many offenses in the Old Testament. But there was nothing like the horrible tortures described in the video. Stoning to death was usually very quick. And I suppose it was meant to be a community effort. As far as the incident where the man was killed in the Old Testament for gathering firewood on the Sabbath, even Moses wasn't quite sure what to do and he went and asked God and God had the death penalty apply to that man. But somebody pointed out that God and Moses had just got through enunciating the Ten Commandments and the various laws and ordinances, or something very much to that effect. But the man went right out and transgressed right after he was told not to do and what the penalties were. God was trying to make a separate and holy people and sometimes it took draconian measures to do so.
An eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth is in the scriptures. Not a turn the other cheek situations.
@@jimhere01 True. That
Is the way it was in those days. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, limb for limb.
@@redmi9834That's true. In fact, I think the scripture continues something to the effect, a burn for a burn, a cut for a cut, a bruise... etc. Meaning, exact retribution. No more, no less. If you were the victim of a criminal attack and the attacker/s were caught they were to receive the exact physical injuries inflicted upon the innocent victim. The Judaic laws and ordnances were probably the most perfect civil law in history ,and in the world. For most offenses in the Old Testament there was no physical punishment, just recompense to the victim of stolen goods etc. And if there was physical punishment to be meted out but the eye for an eye precept didn't apply, the punishment was usually the death. But there was no beheading, or boiling, or burning, or drawn and quartered etc, it was by stoning to death. Usually over and done with very quickly..
This method of execution is not original, was common in the Ottoman Empire, for example.
If this punishment was around today there would be no crime.
Saudi arabia isnt crime free
Shadow Tiger, you are one bloodthirsty sociopath, aren't you?
America has the death penalty & it doesn't deter anyone. It's pure vengence! End of.
As a descendant of Hugh Capet I think this criminal had a fair end.
They still perform this horrific execution everyday . It's called abortion.
As a retired operating theatre nurse working in the clean up sluice room I have see the horrific results of abortions done in various ways. The late abortions done through opening the womb were brought in still alive under a large wet swab to suffocate them. Catholic nurses and others who were against abortion were exempt from assisting but we saw the results from having to work in the shared clean up rooms.
@@redmi9834 I guess we haven't improved as much as we like to think.
@@redmi9834 fortunately most abortions aren't lateterm.
Absolutely true. Wade Vs Roe is the New Dredd Scott. But worse. Dredd Scott didn't automatically mean death for the Dredd Scott 5/6 of a human being, Black people. But it does automatically mean death for the Wade Vs Roe designated 5/6 of a human being, if deigned to be applied, a human baby, and of all races. Some people always like to s**t on someone else in this world, and lord it over them with a sneer. The US willingly obliged those kind of people, and made it very easy, and legal to do.
@@redmi9834 Bs! They always make sure a needle goes into the brain 1st. That what you said it pure rot. Anti abortion propaganda!

Would he not have died after the castration?
Eunuchs who were totally emasculated often died from blood loss, infection and retention of urine. The Chinese market for African eunuchs demanded removal of all the genitals and they cost more because there was a higher death rate than simple castration.
@@redmi9834 You mean the Ottoman market... The Chinese were too far to care for African slaves.
Major blood loss for sure. Death would be merciful.

Truly barbaric.
j'adore l'idée d'un britannique qui vient dire que les français aimaient le sang. Il est vrai que tout au long de l'histoire du royaume uni, il n'y a rien eu d'horrible, a part peut être sous henriVIII, la conquête de l'irlande, les guerres d'écosse, la conquête de l'inde etc etc, question de peuple sanguinaire les anglais valent bien les français... souvent en plus brutal...🤣🤣🤣 I love the idea of a Brit saying that the French loved blood. It is true that throughout the history of the United Kingdom, there has been nothing horrible, except perhaps under henriVIII, the conquest of Ireland, the wars of Scotland, the conquest of India etc, question of bloodthirsty people the English are well worth the French... often more brutal... ...
Friend, I am no Anglophile, but I am a humanist (at the very least). Your comments (and those of several others who contemplate this genre of sadism's re-introduction) skirt around the theme of this channel: that evil can be incarnate and knows no nationality.
But not for a very long time. Wer'e not bloodthirsty these days. We don't have the barbaric executions like America still does.
