    A new video from my favorite bard of history! That's why I clicked this on! I've missed my Saturday story but hope you had a fantastic birthday! From what I've seen in the comments, I think your pointing out the grusomeness of this execution with sounds of it curdled more than a few stomachs! It made me thankful that we don't think that such a thing as public execution is necessary anymore. Of course, the local newscast tells me that others think we do. I'll look at both of the other videos as anything you put out is worth watching! Please take care now! May God bless you and yours. 😊

    The reign of James VI certainly was consequential, uniting the Scottish and English crowns and starting the plantation of Ulster. It's hard to warm to many of these historical leaders when their methods were so damaging to common folk.

    I commented before that not all English are so keen to bow and scrape. My native Yorkshire has many Robin Hood place names. Our US cousins point to the Magna Carta, from that era as a confirmation that everyone is equal. Our ancestors accepted Scottish kings too, so long as they did not start overruling Parliament. Then it was execution time.

    I would have thought that with such a brutal execution there would be a good chance that the victim would die before they'd finished. In particular, if he were left out at night, there's the risk of hypothermia. Shock can also kill. The violence of the process makes it likely that a major vein or artery could be ruptured.
    Dare I say it, the fact that poor Walter Stuart survived so long suggests that he was in very good physical condition before they started killing him.
