I was under the impression that drawn meant having the stomache sliced open and then having ones guts "drawn" out in front of you.

Originally posted by DS23h,d & q usually meant and open cart "drawn" through the streets, stripped naked, hung until nearly dead, castrated (or emasculated - there's debate over that too), then beheaded, then quartered. quartered means neck (head gone already) to crotch and at the waist. each quarter would then be sent to sundry places for viewing and the head stuck on a pole somewhere.Comment

TLG is correct, the person was hung until nearly dead (but still conscious), then their abdomen was slit open and their innards 'drawn' out before being beheaded and hacked into quarters. I seem to recall that as an entertaining 'variety act' for the crowd, the 'drawing' could involve opening the chest and extracting heart, and showing it to the person while it was still beating.Comment
