One of the most infamous executions of the Medieval period in England occurred when a Scottish rebel who had been a thorn in the side of King Edward I was dragged throughout the streets of London. William Wallace who has also been known as 'Braveheart' was sentenced to death for treason and he had caused chaos with the English army, leading the Scots to a number of victories against the old enemy. However Wallace was handed over to the English and he was then sentenced to death. He was to be hanged, drawn and quartered.
He was dragged behind a horse on a hurdle from the Tower of London, and was then taken to Smithfield where he met the executioner. His execution was one which was harrowing, and following this his head was then placed high above London Bridge, and his remains were sent to four places in the north to serve as a warning to the Scottish.

Braveheart had the battle of Stirling Bridge.. without actually having a bridge. No idea why. Again the Queen he has an affair with in the movie didn't happen.. she was actually 3 years old in France. Considering Hollywood ruined the mad max franchise by doing their usual hollywoodise rubbish you would think Mel Gibson would have made a more historical realistic movie about Wallace.

It was technically impossible to actually "demonstrate" the catastrophic execution as it actually occurred in any modern film. It was technically a dissection and disembowelment. Wallace was likely in deep shock during most of it. The amount of bleeding that likely occurred rendered him unconscious after the first "incisions" were made. By the time his head was removed, it was unlikely he was even aware that it was about to happen. Had you been in the "audience" you would have seen an enormous amount of bleeding and little else. It is difficult to imagine the cruelty of his executioner who likely had done this before and was "used" to it. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA) Retired surgeon

Doc, what about Jesus and his ordeal? Have you looked into the evidence presented by the shroud of Turin and corroborated with official accounts? At what point was He no longer conscious, in your estimation? Where you now, Tx or Fl? Cheerio.

@sanjosemike3137 Жыл бұрын

@@leszekwolkowski9856 The evidence from the SOT is very powerful and leads to the astonishing conclusion that this actually was Jesus' death/life Shroud. His level of consciousness was directly connected to his blood/fluid loss during both the scourging and actual crucifixion. When he was laid down to the ground, in preparation for the nail "installations" he probably returned to consciousness because the blood was allowed to get to his cranium. There is no explanation on how he was able to actually carry the long log during his "walk" to the site. He must have been an immensely powerful/fit man. Under any medical evaluation, he had to have been in deep shock during most of the "process." He HAD to have been very much AWARE of what was involved since he lived in sight/sound of many other Crucifixions. He had to have heard their screams. He could have easily escaped. He did NOT have to do this. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA) Retired surgeon

I don't know, I've seen some people get the firing squad, until their head looks like a caved in melon. They were still capable of looking around and responding to external stimuli throughout the ordeal. People can take an enormous beating

@sanjosemike3137 10 ай бұрын

@@justinbetland9792 The entire issue is blood supply to the brain. Within about 10-15 seconds after no more oxygen is in the brain, unconsciousness occurs. This suggests that when people were Guillotined, they were aware of their head in the basket, and being picked up by the executioner. Thankfully, 15 seconds goes by quickly. The people who were imploded on the Titan had no awareness of their death. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

Kilts were not even worn until three centuries later. The love intrest was only a child at the time of the movie. William Wallace was a minor noble. The blue paint was something the Romans saw the barbarians wearing about thirteen cnturies before the movie. The Scots never made it as far soith as York in the battle of Stirling bridge aftermath. He was betrayed by a Scottish knight after spending time in France. There is almost nothing but the conflict with Edward the first accurate in the film. It was a Mel Gibson egofest. As I said aloud watching him refusing the poison in the film.."Give ME the poision.. I WANT TO DIE!"

Was Wallace actually dragged on a hurdle? Had they started using them by the time of his execution? I ask because originally, so I understand, those condemned to drawing and quartering were dragged on the ground behind a horse, sans hurdle. Apparently they started using it later because this might result in a dead body for the executioner to butcher rather than a live victim.

Jesus recommended and even demanded that all of his apostles be martyred except for John. Jesus only allowed the apostle John to die a natural death as it was said in the new testament. This is also confirmed in the unrecognized gospel of Mary Magdalene. Therefore, if someone thinks that Jesus died for (their) sins, then he is mistaken. Everyone who wants to be cleansed of his sins and be saved from eternal torment must renounce the kingdom of the earth and renounce himself and must be ready for martyrdom, as was said and demanded by Jesus himself and, accordingly, he, as it were, set a personal example. Simon or Peter was crucified upside down. Andrew, after scourging, was crucified without nails and tied to a cross and died two days later. James (the son of Zebedee) was beheaded. Bartholomew - he was skinned alive and then beheaded. Thomas was killed with spears. Matthew was killed with a knife. There are other versions, either he was burned at the stake or stoned to death. James (the son of Alphaeus) was beaten with stones and sticks. Judas Iscariot allegedly hanged himself. Philip was crucified upside down. Judas Thaddaeus was killed by bow arrows. Simon the Zealot was sawn alive with a saw. Only John died of natural causes. ??????? Mark 8:27-38 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
