the worst death...

[King Henry V]

The execution of the Earl of Atholl, King James I murderer, was particularlly gruesome: "On the first day he had a rope tied around his feet and hoisted in the air on a crane. The rope was allowed to drop towards the ground then stopped suddenly so his legs were pulled out of his sockets. He was then led off to a pillory and crowned with a red hot iron crown that was stamped 'king of traitors'. On the second day he was dragged through the streets of Edinburgh, strapped to a stretcher that was tied to the tail of the horse, jeered at and pelted with dung. The he was blinded and his flesh torn with red hot pincers. Only on the third was he finally hanged, drawn and quartered." Message to all republicans: don't mess with the king!

Inkas and/or Aztecs poured gold in liquid form into the throats of Portugese or Spaniards.

I've always thought Perillus of Athens's brazen bull invention for Phalaris, the tyrant of Agrigentum, was a rather cruel way to die. Perillus got to find out; since Phalaris put him in it first to test it out.

I read it from a certain website, but not sure if it is historically correct. It says that when the spanish first entered an aztec temple they saw piles of flayed skin and skinless bodies there that made the commander vomit from the gruesomness of the scene, since human sacrifice to the gods was common practice among the aztecs alot of slaves/peasants were sent into the temple to be flayed.

I don't remember what the link was, but i think it was posted on the org before, credit goes to whoever posted the link.

Actually they did it to captive warriors. In fact teh Aztecs kept a neigbouring state alive and free only to make sure they had a ready source of captives. When they began to run out of 'sacrificial lambs', they declared war on that state, had a lopsided battle and went home with captives.
Cynical!

But they did die very fast, and it was a great honour.
They were killed by having the heart cut out in less than 20 seconds (which has since been reproduced on dummies).
