    The guillotine was actually a massive improvement on better humane executions. The idea was a giant blade cam down like a clap of thunder, the head was removed and the man was no more. It was seen as a way better form of execution than the previously used hanging and "drawn and quartered" executions, which ironically enough were also considered more humane (the hanging not the latter) was more humane than even the executions before that one.

    • @EnigmaticLucas
      @EnigmaticLucas Рік тому +1

      It was also seen as more egalitarian.
      With normal/manual beheadings, the wealthy often got swifter deaths than the poor. The guillotine, on the other hand, chopped off all heads at the same speed.

      Decapitation is scary and traumatising. A body without a head is this inhuman, dead, mutilated thing. The face of the victim is stuck in either an expression of surprise or terror.
      But it is spectacular, and frightening for the ones being targeted for execution. I've always been creeper out and fascinated by beheading.

    Before the guillotine, beheading was done by sword or axe wielded by a person who, depending on skill level and strength, could miss the neck, or not cut completely through. This meant that a condemned person could be struck multiple times before the stroke that caused death. Each impact being extremely painful to the recipient. Comparatively, the single, accurate impact of the guillotine blade is more humane.

      They are actually pretty competent, compared to South American narcos.
      But narco vids, and the latest generation of Isis vids, are made to show as much cruelty as possible, in slow motion and closeups of the victim's faces and the victims have to endure unspeakable pain and suffering. So sometimes it's hard to tell if it's botched or fukked up on purpose.

      and we see dogs just being sadistic "for fun"? canids are the best smart ones of the whole animal kingdom (including humans ofc cuz humans are animals)

    Decapitation causes the blood pressure to drop to zero instantly, which makes you loose conciousness also instantly. A lot of people experience dizziness, or even pass out when they stay sat down for a long time and stand up too quickly, because the blood pressure in the head drops when you rise quickly. So it is safe to assume that blood pressure dropping to zero in 1/100th of a second makes you incouncious before you can feel any pain. Blinking, jaw and eye movements are just reflexes due to the fact that even if your not councious anymore, your cells still have enough energy to keep living for a few minutes (for example, the heart generally stops beating only 15 to 20 minutes after death). Tests conducted on mices showed that brain activity stops about 15 seconds after the beheading, but loss of conciousness occurs in the first seconds. So, with the adrenaline, and the delay necessary for the pain signal from intense pain receptors (Which use non-myelinised nerve fibers, with a very slow signal speed), you probably would'nt feel a thing before blacking out.

    Another inhumane punishment I would have included was the oubliette - a rather nasty room at the bottom of some medieval dungeons. The room was accessible only through a trap door in the roof. Usually, the victim was condemned to death and then thrown in. Because it was so low in the castle, the oubliette often had slime and was filled with vermin. The victim was thrown in there and left to die.

    Gibeting was actually not exclusively for men, in Québec, Canada, there is the legend of "La Corriveau" which is a woman who was sentenced to hanging by martial court for the murder of her second husband and then displayed in a gibet, and has become a local urban legend

      It's only one case, and it's an urban legend so maybe (probably) it didn't even happen, so you can't use that to claim that "Gibeting was actually not exclusively for men". Simple logic.

      Not sure if any women were subjected to gibetting, but nonetheless, women were rarely executed in barbaric ways and spared many punishments solely because they’re women. I find it interesting how modern feminism doesn’t address the lack of accountability when it comes to breaking laws and the fact that men suffered far more in general than women throughout history.

    the guilotine is a continuation of a much much older device from medieval history, but that itsself came initially from an execution method known as death by plank, in medieval flanders this was certainly a punishment for rape, or rather for claimed rape, which could only be stopped if the girl in question willingly intervened and decided she wanted to be with him, so essentially it could easily be an affair that causes it, (understandable since rich families tried to dissuade their children from marrying for purely love)
    this method involved a plank held between two beams on which the head rests above it comes another plank held between those beams, then they hit this plank with a hammer until the neck breaks or even until a messy decapitation is achieved

    Here in West Yorkshire when you talk about a Gibbet, what you are referring to would be the Halifax Gibbet which was an early version of a Guillotine, which had a thick block of wood that instead of a thin razor sharp blade mounted along the edge of the of the block at an incline, allowing for a shearing action, the Halifax Gibbet had as its blade a very large and heavy axe head with a curved edge to spread the cut across the full width of the neck of the condemned person and the Gibbet was mounted on a scaffold placed on a moor side cross roads at the top of a long uphill climb from the centre of the town.

    Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.
    The guillotine during the French Revolution was actually a massive improvement on better humane executions. The idea was a giant blade cam down like a clap of thunder, the head was removed and the man was no more. It was seen as a way better form of execution than the previously used hanging and "drawn and quartered" executions, which ironically enough were also considered more humane (the hanging not the latter) was more humane than even the executions before that one.

The blade was resharpened every now and then, and for the first 2/3 years looked like a yet the mecanism of the machine made that almost useless. given the way it cut its clients in half, guillotine used to rip off heads, much more than cutting them clean off : The first 10 cm was about cutting then the resistance offerd by the corps and the fact it was still made the rest of the work like ripping off to the right, since the blade was shaped that way, like a scythe. Lots of example of fellas staying attached to the machine AFTER it ripped their head off

He wrote down every execution he did in that book and he was quite fond of using the Katherine's wheel so much he kept a smaller replica of the wheel on his side. Franz carried out his profession very well, he executed 361 people during his career. I like that book cause it gives history buffs like me a glimpse into history.

    Read the faithful executioner. It's a diary of a 16th century executioner in Germany. Fascinating read about a civil servant who took pride in his work.

    Tbh out of the execution methods of the middle ages, i would prefer to go by guillotine. Nice and instant compared to the Rack, breaking wheel, brass bull, ect..

    Blushing would be awfully hard to do with no blood pressure to increase the amount of blood in facial capillaries.

    One of the craziest things I heard in this video is that the guillotine was used until 1977??????!!!!!!

      Reminds me of the ancient story of the brazen bull. A man invented this extremely sadistic way to execute someone by putting them inside a metal bull with a fire underneath and cooking them to death, and their screams inside would sound like a bull because of the acoustics. He showed it to a king, who had the man be the first person executed by it, because he created such a cruel invention.

    I think impalement or crucifixion has to be the worst two slow and painful deaths ever.
