If i lived in medieval Britain, I'd of liked to be hangedIn some parts of the world hanging is still carried out but not in Britain. If i lived in medieval times in Britain I would rather commit a petty crime( rob an apple) and be hanged than endure a lifetime of a torture culture and gruesome executions.

Re: If i lived in medieval Britain, I'd of liked to be hangedhangings can go quite badly wrong if they get the length of rope long. sometimes the neck doesn't break and you'd be left there slowly suffocating for quite a while. sometimes the ropes too long and your head flies off your body.
but yes, if its between being tortured for life or dying... dying is probably the best bet. guillotine would be my preferred choice thoughLast edited by didgeridoo12uk; 19-04-2011 at 10:30. -

Re: If i lived in medieval Britain, I'd of liked to be hangedPeople in medieval times were not constantly tortured. Most just tried to get on with their life as best as possible. I can't really see why being hanged would be preferable.

Re: If i lived in medieval Britain, I'd of liked to be hangedYou would pass out before you suffocate. The rope blocks the main vein in the neck so you would black out within 10-15 seconds.(Original post by didgeridoo12uk)

"If I lived in medieval Britain, I'd have liked to be hanged"
If you deserve to be hanged for anything, it's bad grammar.

Re: If i lived in medieval Britain, I'd of liked to be hangedSince this is a STUDENT's forum...
I would imagine that most if not all of us would be hanged for "heresy" by the Church (radical views and the Earth revolving around the sun... gosh...). -

Re: If i lived in medieval Britain, I'd of liked to be hangedAnyway wasn't hanging what the commoners got?
The noble way to die in medieval times was to be beheaded. Although if you spoke against the Popes your soul had to be cleansed by flame. -

Re: If i lived in medieval Britain, I'd of liked to be hangedYehh exactly, I'm sure there will be people hundreds of years in the future saying "eww people in the 21st century lived such a miserable existence, I'd have wanted to commit mass murder and get the electric chair!" ...it's just silly, cause we just wouldn't.(Original post by john_john)
If you knew of nothing other than your existance in medieval Britan then you wouldn't think that is a horrible existence, you'd just think it was normal.
