Legend has it that sympathetic guard named Warwick put him out of his misery before the pain got too bad.

Her modern day fan club can't change this.<br /><br />I'm aware of Mary's painful childhood and what she suffered. It does not and never will justify her actions as Queen.<br /><br />Andromeda Organahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503438651279154317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951839880321935257.post-17882546485617205092019-07-05T04:45:35.582+02:002019-07-05T04:45:35.582+02:00not sure about that, being burned at the stake is ...not sure about that, being burned at the stake is indeed a horrific and torturous execution method but i believe it was at least over pretty quickly once the pain became truly agonizing. The spanish inquisition on the other hand had a special tool to rip breasts off and a "brazen bull" that looks to me like it would make you suffer longer as you are literally cooked alive. Sooooooo not actually sure which is worse... pretty awful either way really.leonidashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18013316629532240528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951839880321935257.post-78228219874976445032017-05-02T02:43:49.152+02:002017-05-02T02:43:49.152+02:00Executions of this order were nothing particularly...Executions of this order were nothing particularly unusual in Europe at this time and the overall truth of all this is that both Catholics and Protestants burnt one another depending upon who was the Establishment. John Calvin's Geneva was very intolerant ---- it was the temperament of the times, I suppose. As all these dreadful executions previously tended to centre on lopping the heads off upper class people, lords, ladies, archbishops etc. the ordinary people of England could look at this type of thing without danger to themselves and the great mistake of the Marian Government was not so much that they executed so many, it was that they executed ordinary rank and file English and so Catholicism became identified as something violet and hateful, intensely foreign and Spanish.<br />Mary's marriage to Spain's Phillip was intensely unpopular, one reason being that people thought that it would bring the Inquisition to England --- they need not have been too concerned ---- what actually happened was worse!
