Delete"The greatest and most grievous punishment used in England for such as offend against the State is drawing from the prison to the place of execution upon an hurdle or sled, where they are hanged till they be half dead, and then taken down, and quartered alive; after that, their members and bowels are cut from their bodies, and thrown into a fire, provided near hand and within their own sight, even for the same purpose."

ReplyDelete"Other punishment included death by burning and beheading. Being burnt at the stake was a punishment which was used during the reign of 'Bloody Mary' - Queen Elizabeth's elder sister. Yet another terrible death. Executioners sometimes showed mercy to their victims by placing gunpowder at the base of the stake which helped the victims to a swifter, and less painful, death." If you we're being punished they would do horrific things to you . When people got beheaded or tortured it was public . By:Leilani Rivera

Punishments were witnessed by a lot of people . All crimes that are committed get the death penalty .
ReplyDeleteIn Elizabethan Era people were split into to class' The Upper Class and Nobility. It depends on what class your in because the punishments are different . If a women committed a crime she would not escape death as punishment.
ReplyDelete-Cristina & Alicia x.
Sometimes people got accused of doing stuff they didn't do ,and if they get accused its enough to get them torchered even if it wasn't them. And if they go to court that wouldn't really help much.
ReplyDeleteCrime and Punishment was not a happy subject in the Elizabethan Era. Their was no trial, just death. They belived in punishment: burning to death, beheading, whipping,the wheel, hanging, and branding.
