The execution of Hugh Despenser the Younger, as depicted in the Froissart of Louis of Gruuthuse

Edward III, under whose rule the Treason Act 1351 was enacted. It defined in law what constituted high treason.

The spiked heads of executed criminals once adorned the gatehouse of the medieval London Bridge.

To be hanged, drawn and quartered was from 1351 a statutory penalty in England for men convicted of high treason, although the ritual was first recorded during the reign of King Henry III (1216–1272). Convicts were fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces). Their remains were often displayed in prominent places across the country, such as London Bridge. For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were instead burned at the stake.
