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


        Gooner: Is it you that has been spamming me with weird literary non quotes and adverts for viagra?

          It's too good for Tony Blair. We'd need a nastier version.

                No, the sequence is wrong, this would be "drawn, hung and quartered".

                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.

                    yup agree. iirc the gibson film showed wallace being stretched rather than emasculated.. or maybe that was the dissemboweling contraption that was used.
