Damiens the regicide was condemned "to make the
amende honorable before the main door of the Church of Paris",
where he was to be "taken and conveyed in a cart, wearing nothing but
a shirt, holding a torch of burning wax weighing two pounds"; then,
"in the said cart, to the diflucan  Place de Grève, where, on a scaffold
that will be erected there, the flesh will be torn from his breasts,
arms, thighs and claves with red-hot pincers, his right hand, holding
the knife with which he committed the said parricide, burnt with
sulphur, and, on those places where the flesh will be torn away,
poured molten lead, boiling oil, burning resin, wax wellbutrin  and sulphur
melted together and then his body drawn and quartered by four horses
and his limbs and body consumed by fire, reduced to ashes and his
ashes thrown to the winds"

Finally, he was quartered," recounts the Gazette
d'Amsterdam of 1 April 1757. "This last operation was very long,
because the horses used were not accustomed to drawing; consequently,
instead crestor of four, six were needed; and when that did not suffice, they
were forced, in order to cut off the wretch's thighs, to sever the
sinews and hack at the joints...
