	Hanged, drawn and quartered - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To be hanged, drawn and quartered was the penalty once ordained in England for treason.
		Typically, the resulting five parts (i.e., the four quarters of the body and the head) were gibbetted (put on public display) in different parts of the city or town to deter would-be traitors.
		Additionally, the corpses of Oliver Cromwell, John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton were disinterred and hanged, drawn and quartered in posthumous executions for their involvement in the regicide.

	Hanging, drawing and quartering
		As you will see from the sentence it should properly be called drawing, hanging and quartering as the condemned was drawn to the place of execution tied to the hurdle or sledge which was dragged by a horse.
		The head and quarters were parboiled to prevent them rotting too quickly and then displayed upon the city gates as a grim warning to all.
		The bodies were then drawn back up onto the platform and placed on their coffins with the neck of each over a small block set at the end of each coffin in turn.

		By this time knowing the modus operandi of the British government, the citizens of Greenock then quickly took to their homes leaving the 7th and 10th Hussars to ride through the town with sabers drawn, only to find deserted streets and end up feeling rather foolish.

		Founded by Sleep's Matt Pike, High on Fire was meant to be a heavier, more aggressive musical outlet; a way of changing the pace established by the aforementioned stoner band.
		To be honest, with the slow, drawn out arrangements for which Sleep was famous, it doesn't seem tough to write songs that have more kick.
		"Hung" is used in contexts like, "hung on a wall" or, "hung like a horse." When you are using this verb in relation to the gallows, the proper way to say it is, "hanged from the neck," or, "hanged, drawn and quartered." If you don't believe me, check Webster's dictionary.
