Hanged, Drawn & Quartered: Execution oF The Conspirators

In England, the punishment of being "hanged, drawn and quartered" was used for men convicted of high treason
The man was dragged by a hurdle (similar to a fence) through the streets.
Then he was  hanged from the neck (almost to the point of death). 
After this he was drawn or disembowelled slowly on a wooden block by cutting open his abdomen. Then his entrails and other organs were thrown on a fire.
Etching
 Finally he was decapitated and quartered (his body was divided into four pieces) and the man's head and quarters were sometimes parboiled and displayed along the Tower Bridge.
