Think hanging, drawing and quartering was as bad as it got? Think again.
 
In this chilling follow-up, we dive into some of the lesser-known but equally gruesome methods of execution used during the Tudor period. From boiling people alive to crushing them slowly under immense weight, the Tudors certainly knew how to make a statement.
 
Join me as I explore these brutal punishments and the stories behind them. Some were designed to instil fear, others to send a clear political or religious message—but all are harrowing reminders of a darker side to Tudor justice.
 
Which of these punishments do you find the most disturbing? Share your thoughts in the comments!
