It’s not really medieval.
The guillotine was an instrument of the age of reason, the late 18th century, a high tech and merciful device meant to reduce the blunders and suffering inherent in truly medieval methods.

Entirely correct. You would think that our highly trained journalists would manage to get that right. Of course, they don’t know that the “Age of Reason” and “Enlightenment” are notable for murder on an industrial scale in the service of leftist ideology.

Yeah, when I hear medieval, I think drawing and quartering. Not a bad idea, actually.

You are correct. Better solution than a bad axman taking 3-4 wacks to get the job done.

Agreed. You want medieval, put them on the rack for a while, then finish with a good old fashioned drawing and quartering. But we’re in a war with the Saracens...so let’s add some bacon grease in there somewhere, and let the pigs eat the dead bodies. On YouTube, and beamed by satellite to the entire Moslem world. Let’s see how long they keep it up - this is a variation on a technique that worked quite well for General John Pershing in the Philippines.

If you can keep in the suffering, that’s ok, too.
