    		He was tortured, then hanged, drawn and quartered. Check out this website. Guy Fawkes bears a remarkable resemblance to Robert Lindsey!

    		"Meaning
    A gruesome form of torture and, eventually, death by execution.
    Origin
    In use at least until Tudor times in the UK. The victim is first hung by the neck but taken from the scaffold while still alive. The entrails and genitals are then removed and the torso hacked into four quarters. "
    Would you like me to demonstrate, mochyn??
