How Henry VIII Hanged Drawn And Quartered A 80 Year Old Monk

Absolute piece of crap. I feel sorry for the English for having this tyrant ruin their countries’ Christian heritage, and burning ancient monastic texts, almost dating back to antiquity. He was a self centred, fat, greedy, violent, abusive, power hungry, foolish tyrant that ever held the British crown. What I am surprised about, is that he didn’t meet a more suitable death. Usually Kings who make huge power plays like these, and oppress their own people, meet a violent end. However, Henry just ate himself to death, which is a direct result from his own greed. Despicable.

Henry, of course, would have been quite incapable of ever taking these horrors into his own hands and executing his evil will himself. He relied ever on others to do his bidding. History will remember him for all time as a tyrant, a coward, and the personification of all that is worst in humanity - for what he was, far below human. I am not an especially religious person, but if it means that there is a hell in which Henry screams for ever more, then I will gladly believe.

The irony is that Henry VIII was admired during his youth as one of the most highly educated and enlightened young men in Europe.

As far as I can determine this was a peculiarly English form of execution. The rest of Europe had equally monstrous forms of ritual killing, such as impaling on wooded stakes, being torn apart by horses or winches, and breaking on the wheel, the most advanced form of which was devised particularly for use by Christians on other Christians. Also beheading, being flogged to death with whips and scourges, burnt alive, garotted etc, all done in public and as popular entertainment. Most people know about the huge crowds that turned out at Tyburn to watch the regular hangings well into the 1800s but this was the tail end of the public horror shows going on since early Medieval times. And we depict the Aztecs as terrible. They never matched Europeans for brutality, sadism and torture.

@@Ian-mj4pt No they weren't. While the Aztecs practiced ritual executions (they had no word for "sacrifice"} on high ceremonial occasions, their behaviour and culture was systematically blackened and hugely exaggerated by the Spanish Invaders to cover up their own appalling atrocities. These were fully documented at the time by Fra Bartolome De Las Casas in his book "An Account Of The Destruction Of The Indies" , which is still in print and I have not been able to finish because every human depravity is detailed performed by the Spanish invaders.

Commoners who were judged to be traitors were hanged drawn and quartered. In those days it was all quite normal behaviour.

It was Thomas Cromwell, who gave the order to do so with clergymen and monks. But as a ruler one is responsible to the deeds and the crimes of the ministers. Henry VIII sometimes also was rather terrified about the increasing brutality and cruelty of Cromwell. At last he saw, that Cromwell grew to become a serious problem for the crown. We also know, what Cromwells grandnephew Oliver was able to. He was a really gruesome religious fanatic. He did not only kill a king but he ist also responsible for the conflicts among protestants and catholics in Ireland, which last until recent days. The interesting thing is, that Oliver Cromwell also had been a decessor of a Tudor named Jasper.

Just a point about the headline description. The correct expression is Hung, Drawn and Quartered. The reason is that the word hanged relates to being killed by hanging. But the method of death being discussed here is hung drawn and quartered which means hung but taken down while still alive so he could suffer the other punishment which is drawn (disembowelled) and quartered (attached by arms and legs to four different horses and torn apart) all while still alive. If he had been hanged first he would have been dead before the punishment.

You wouldn't say "The Sheriff hanged, drawn a picture and quartered him.. As I said "Drawn" is the past participle that requires the auxiliary verb. If it doesn't have that, then it's a simple action verb in the past tense, and the past tense of "Draw" is "drew." That said, I'm sure it sounds odd because it's almost always constructed: "The King had him hanged, drawn, and quartered." But again, that's the auxiliary verb form. The other oddity is that, for some reason, we say, "People are hanged; pictures are hung." I have no idea why that's a "rule" except perhaps as a teacher one would not want to say, "Thomas More was HUNG." At some points students know what THAT means! : )

@paules3437 I understand.

Draw means pull, here ... as in draw the curtains: pull them together. So drawn is the simple past of draw because it is not a picture being drawn, but a body being pulled/stretched.

[@paules3437]

@@dac545j Drawn is not the simple past. It is the past participle. "Drew" is still the simple past of "draw." Example: I dunked my t-shirt into a vat of dye, and when I DREW it out, it was a different color.. No native speaker would say, "I dunked my t-shirt into a vat of dye and when I DRAWN it out, it was a different color." You can see the same concept in the word "Withdraw" in its past tense. "I injured myself and so I withdrew from the tournament." No one would say "I withdrawn myself." Now, if you use the auxiliary/helping verb (some form of "to be"), you might say, "My objection was withdrawn," but that's a different construction. As I've said before, when you use a helping verb, you use the past participle "drawn" but the original sentence didn't do that. It tried to use the simple last but used it incorrectly. From Merriam-Webster: "Another analyst at the New York investment bank drew attention over the summer by arguing AI isn’t solving the complex problems that would justify its costs." -Matt O’Brien and Sarah Parvini, Los Angeles Times, 1 Jan. 2025 AI Overview The past tense of the verb "draw" is "drew": Explanation: "Draw" is an irregular verb, so it doesn't add "-ed" to form the past tense. "Drawed" is not considered standard English. Example: "The free party in the park drew a tremendous crowd on Saturday". Here are some other conjugations of the verb "draw": Present participle: Drawing Past participle: Drawn
