While Margaret would often leave flowers at her husband’s grave, one day she discovered that they had been discarded. This happened again several times until she decided to confront the person responsible and was surprised when she learned why.

Margaret’s husband, George, died in a car accident. Even though it had been months, she still continued to mourn greatly for him because he swore he would love her forever and never leave. George loved talking about Margaret to his peers and never spoke about himself.

In fact, he barely said anything about his past to Margaret, thinking it wasn’t relevant to their relationship. On random days, he’d buy white roses and lilies and give them to her once he got home from work. When he died, Margaret knew it was only right for her to bring him the same flowers at his grave. Every time she visited, it was a symbol of their eternal love.

A Tale of Deception and Redemption: Margaret’s Journey after Her Husband’s Death

One day, Margaret went to the cemetery and noticed the flower she left previously had been trampled on and discarded. Upset, she purchased another bouquet and came back the next day to see whether or not it would end up the same way.

True enough, she saw the same thing: the flowers were ruined and thrown to the side. Wanting an answer to why this kept happening, Margaret decided to visit her husband’s grave every day until she got one. A few days later, she made a discovery.

Margaret’s Act of Kindness Leads to Uncovering a Heartbreaking Secret

Margaret saw a woman near her husband’s grave crying. She was dressed in loose, old clothing and looked tired with swollen feet. Margaret decided to approach the woman to ask if she was okay. The woman sobbed, explaining that the man who abandoned her with three young children to marry a rich woman had died. “He abandoned us, wanting a better life without even thinking about his children,” she said bitterly.

Margaret immediately felt sorry for her. “You poor thing. My husband was such a good, loving man. I can’t imagine what it’s like to have a husband like that. We never had any children, but I’m sure he would have been a great father. Really, I’m sorry you had to experience that,” she told the woman.

The Power of Compassion: Margaret’s Path to Healing and Forgiveness

The other woman stared at her blankly. She couldn’t understand why Margaret was talking about how great her husband was when she had just told her about her bad experience. “Is that your husband?” she asked, pointing at the grave. “Yes,” Margaret replied with a sad smile on her face.

The woman scoffed, shaking her head. “I knew it,” she said. Margaret was surprised at the woman’s reaction. “I’m sorry, excuse me,” she clarified, trying to understand what the woman was trying to say. “To me, he isn’t your sweet husband.

He’s the George who abandoned his children to starve while he went to marry you and live a lavish life,” the woman said bitterly. Margaret couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Her knees trembled, but she tried her best to stay strong. After all, she was certain the woman was lying. “You must be mistaken,” Margaret replied. “I was his first and only wife,” she said, her voice trailing.

Once again, the woman shook her head and pulled out two pictures from her purse. The first was a photo of a younger George getting married to her in a drive-by, while the second one was him with their three children. Margaret was horrified. She couldn’t remove her trembling hand from her mouth, slowly having to internalize that her husband hadn’t been honest with her.

Seeing Margaret’s reaction, the woman began talking. “George grew up poor and worked his way to being an attorney. However, he wasn’t content with being in a small firm. He wanted to go big, and he eventually met you and married you, another successful lawyer from one of the country’s top firms. I can’t believe I didn’t know any of this,” Margaret said, trembling.

Her knees gave in, and she ended up sitting on the ground right in front of George’s grave. She stared at it long and hard, still in disbelief that he could betray her that way. “He was a good lawyer.

So when he filed for divorce, he made sure we got nothing. I couldn’t believe he could do that to his own children, but he did,” the woman told her, still looking at George’s grave. Margaret suddenly decided to snap out of it.

Margaret’s Journey of Redemption

“How could you?” she whispered. “I thought you were a good man,” she looked at the woman. “What’s her name?” Annabelle, the woman replied quietly. Annabelle,” Margaret said, swallowing her pride, “I’m so sorry for what my husband did to you, especially to your three children. I would have loved to be a mom, and I can’t even begin to imagine what you had to go through because of him. Really, I am sorry.”

Margaret proceeded to invite the woman to her house. They ate together, and she asked whether or not the woman wanted to work. When she found out she did, Margaret hired her under her firm and decided to help her open up bank accounts for her three children. “I know I can’t take back the hurt that George caused the four of you. I wish he was still here to suffer the consequences of his disgusting behavior.

He isn’t, though, and all I can do is promise to help you take care of your children if you allow me to,” Margaret told Annabelle. Annabelle smiled shyly, accepting Margaret’s help. They ended up being good friends, unified in the shared hurt they felt after what George had done to them.

Margaret reflected bitterly about the life she lived with her husband, thinking she had been living a lie all those years. While she was spared George’s villainy while he was alive, she had to live knowing the real George after he was dead, and that still tormented her.

Margaret Finds Peace and Healing in the End

One day, when Margaret had already retired as a lawyer, she decided to take a trip around the world to clear her mind. When she got home, she was surprised to see white roses blooming in her garden.

There was a letter on the ground which read, ‘Because of you, hope bloomed in our lives. No more thorns, no more sorrow. Thank you, Margaret.’ Margaret smiled, knowing very well it was Annabelle who wrote it. She was all too familiar with the handwriting. After working with the woman for years, she sighed, finally feeling peace in her heart after everything she’d been through.

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
