The gallant French gentlemen also reserved this horrible punishment for women and we read that during the year 1302 by order of the Bailli of Sainte-Genevieve, a woman was buried alive for some petty thefts which she had committed.[36] Philip Augustus is said to have put a French provost to death in this cruel fashion, because of the crime of perjury, regarding a transaction in connection with a vineyard[37] and in the thirteenth century in Bigorre, this punishment was inflicted for murder, the murdered and his murderer being interred in the same grave.[38] One performing the unnatural crime was also buried alive, in England, at an early day, according to Fleta.[39] _Drawing and quartering_, is of Egyptian and Roman origin, for we find that it existed at Rome five hundred years before Christ and is mentioned in the Twelve Tables.[40] Hanging, drawing and quartering is said to have been first introduced in England in the case of William Maurice, a pirate, in 1241,[41] although it afterwards became quite common, as a punishment for treason. According to the terms of a sentence imposed by Lord Ellenborough, the criminal convicted of treason to be thus punished was addressed as follows: “You are to be drawn on hurdles to the place of execution, where you are to be hanged, but not until you are dead; for, while still living, your body is to be taken down, your bowels torn out and burnt before your face; your head is then to be cut off and your body divided into four quarters.”[42] Hugh Spenser, the favorite of King Edward II., was put to death at Bristol, in 1326, and his body was quartered, as was the custom of the period, in similar cases, and his head was sent to London, while each quarter of his body was sent to each of the four principal towns of the kingdom.[43] On the execution of the Jesuit, Garnet, in England, in 1606, James I., who was more compassionate in this case than he was in the cases of witchcraft, where no punishment could be found too severe, gave orders that he should not be cut down until he was dead, so that he might be spared the tortures of drawing and quartering.[44] But no such mercy was shown to Guy Fawkes, who was tortured and drawn and quartered, the same year, after he was taken with the burning match in his hand, in his attempt to blow up the king and his parliament, in what was known as the gunpowder plot.[45] During the thirteenth century, in England, the usual punishment for petty treason was hanging and drawing for a man and burning for a woman.[46] _Boiling in oil_ during the reign of Henry VIII.,[47] was a punishment provided for poisoners.
