Communication is a key aspect of any relationship. It can save a couple from a lot of heartache in unnecessary situations. This woman thought that her husband was having an affair with her cousin, but the truth was very different.

Estella and Armando were a couple that many found quite unusual. She was a young woman who was set on creating a modeling career for herself, and he was a wealthy businessman who worked hard to get to where he was in life…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The major difference between these two people, though, was that Estella was 20 years younger than her partner. But to them, the age difference didn’t matter; they were happy and in love, and they wanted to share their happiness with the world, which is why Armando asked Estella to marry him. Delighted, the woman said yes, and the couple started making plans for their wedding.

But things were tricky from the start. Estella’s father had always been wary of his daughter dating a man more than twice her age, but when she told him that they were engaged, he became reluctant to let it happen. Estella didn’t let this stop her love for Armando, though, and she even threatened her family that she would run away with him if they didn’t support their relationship.

While Estella’s parents were cautious about the age difference, they couldn’t deny that Armando was a very nice person. He was kind, practical, and an incredibly dedicated man. He always made sure that Estella didn’t want for anything and that she always had whatever she needed in life.

He was so devoted to her that the businessman had even paid half of her education to become a professional model for high-end companies and products. Because of his connections with other small businesses, Armando was even able to secure Estella some modeling jobs to help start her career. Eventually, through all of his hard work, he managed to win over Estella’s family.

To show how kind he was, Armando even covered the cost of an operation that Estella’s mother had to have. From that moment on, Estella’s family regarded Armando as one of their own for how he had looked after their family.

One day, Estella and her mother were sitting at a little restaurant on the balcony. They had met up to discuss ideas for the wedding and were sharing how they felt with one another about the man who was to become part of their family.

Estella told her mother that she loved Armando completely and that she couldn’t wait to spend the rest of her life with him. The couple’s wedding was planned to take place on a beach, something that both Estella and Armando agreed upon as they both wanted a natural setting for their ceremony.

While everything seemed to be going great, there was one quite large topic that the couple simply couldn’t agree on. Being older, Armando felt as if he had lived through the wildness of his youth, and he was ready to settle down and start a family.

This was the complete opposite for Estella, who had no desire to have any children of her own at that point in time. Being younger, she wanted to live out her youth a bit more and focus on her career without having to worry about looking after any children.

The issue caused so much stress between the two, as Armando wanted to have children while he was still able to play with them like a father, whereas Estella felt like she was being pressured into having a child that she did not want and was not ready for.

The issue did not stop the two from planning their wedding, though, and as the day drew nearer, it finally came time for Estella to pick out her perfect wedding dress. Not being too fussed about tradition, Estella asked Armando to go with her along with her mother, some of her friends, and her cousin Amber.

As the group met up at one of the bridal shops, Estella quickly introduced everyone to each other. Being as excited and as happy as she was, she did not notice the shock and the delicate manners of Armando towards her cousin.

While Estella tried on various gowns, her fiancé would only be half interested in how she looked; his attention kept slipping to Amber. Once the dress was found, Armando invited all of the women out for lunch in celebration. He asked Amber about herself and paid special attention to her answers. Near the end of lunch, he suggested to Estella that she should invite her cousin out with them again.

For the next few days, Armando kept insisting that Estella should invite her cousin over again for a family dinner. With how persistent he was being, Estella began to feel uncomfortable and like there was something going on that he was not telling her. Estella confronted her fiancé about her fears, asking him why he was so insistent that Amber should come over.

Armando simply replied that because of how busy she had been with planning the wedding, Estella could use some time with someone who was a bit more objective to the situation in order to help her make tough decisions, as Armando himself was busy with work. Estella conceded that he was right, but she was still confused as to why it had to be Amber who helped her.

Nevertheless, the bride-to-be invited Amber over to her house that Sunday for dinner. Amber arrived at the family house a few hours before the dinner was ready so that she could enjoy spending a little bit of time talking to Estella and Armando.

Throughout their conversations, Estella began to notice how strange her fiancé was acting with her cousin. He would act very delicately around her and stared at her often when he thought that Estella wasn’t watching him. He even exchanged phone numbers with the young woman when he believed that Estella wouldn’t notice.

Estella was furious, but she waited until they were back home to talk to Armando, as she didn’t want to cause a scene with her family. Once they were finally alone, Estella calmed herself down as best as she could and asked her husband-to-be why he had exchanged phone numbers with Amber. Armando immediately tensed up, knowing that he had been caught.

He told Estella that he asked for her cousin’s number as he knew a few people in her line of work and thought that he could help get her a better job. Estella didn’t believe him and quickly made it clear that she thought he was lying.

She asked Armando if he had changed his mind about loving her and instead wanted to marry her cousin. At this, Armando got angry, but Estella wouldn’t let him try to lie to her. Her fiancé ended up telling Estella that his reason for being so interested in Amber was complicated but that he in no way loved her like he did Estella. However, he wouldn’t tell her what his reasons were.

Estella continued to plan her wedding, but where love and trust once were, she was now starting to doubt Armando and his loyalty to her. Finally, having had enough of the secrecy, Estella decided to check Armando’s phone the next time she had a chance.

She immediately went to his most recent chats but could find no messages between himself and Amber. Instead, she found texts from a detective. Upon hearing Armando coming back, she had to quickly put his phone away, but Estella was left wondering just why her fiancé was talking to a detective.

Sensing her unease, Armando stopped talking about Amber and didn’t try to push his love into inviting her over anymore. Estella was pleased with this, but she was still worried about what was going on.

A month before the wedding, Estella was dealing with a lot of plans to make sure that everything went smoothly. When it came to the last few invitations, she debated on whether or not to allow Amber to go. She was concerned that if she did, she could be making a huge mistake, but she didn’t want to be rude to a member of her family, so she sent the invite.

Wanting to try and mend her relationship with her cousin a bit, Estella invited her mother and Amber to go for a final taste test of the food. The day was pleasant, and they discussed what courses to serve to the guests. After a while, Estella’s mother had to go to the bathroom, leaving the two young women alone. Not long after the mother had gone, Amber turned to Estella and told her that her fiancé was a very kind man. She also revealed that he had told Amber that he would help her with whatever she needed and would take care of her parents too.

Devastated and furious at what she had heard, Estella decided not to reveal her hurt to Amber and to wait until she was back home where she could confront Armando. As soon as she saw her husband-to-be, Estella began to yell at him, telling him that she was furious that he would lie to her face about Amber and how she knew he was doing her favors, which is exactly what he did for Estella at the beginning of their relationship. She asked Armando if he was planning to marry her or to simply cheat on her with her cousin. But when Armando told her the truth of the matter, she was greatly shocked.

The weary man revealed to Estella that he believed that Amber was his daughter from his first wife. He told his love that he and his first wife were very young when they got married, but they were pressured into having a child by her family, who had traditional expectations of them.

The marriage quickly fell apart, but neither Armando nor his wife was ready to look after a baby on their own. Knowing they couldn’t give her the life that she deserved, they gave her up for adoption. Somehow, Amber had been adopted by Estella’s aunt and had become part of her family. Now that he had found her again, Armando told Estella that he could not abandon her again.

Estella was stunned at what she had learned. She knew that things needed to be sorted out and calmed down before any other

big decisions could be made, so she decided to call off the wedding. When Amber was told the truth, she couldn’t believe it, but after taking a little bit of time to come to terms with it, she decided to get to know her biological father better.

They formed a strong bond and did their best to catch up on all the missed time together. As for Estella, she decided that she and Armando should take their relationship a bit slower due to the revelation of his daughter, and they decided to hold off on getting married. Because even though she loved him, it was a lot to understand and come to terms with.

Sometimes it just goes to show that the best thing to do is to talk to your partner instead of jumping to conclusions and misunderstandings.

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 .
