A Spaniard, Francisco Vila, a prosecutor In the Philippines during the Spanish occupation described Garrote in his book " Escenas filipinas. Narraciones originales de costumbres de dichas islas by Francisco Vila
my grandpa's from Manila I missed chicken adobo Olympia and balut I knew when he would come to America cuz I could smell his cooking from school luck and peace be with you brother
It always amazed me how these guys would go pretty peacefully to their execution (to a horrible execution) without trying to escape. Give yourself a fighting chance and you'll probably end up eating a few bullets.
The people sentenced to death, seeing that there is no escape, arrive at their execution in a state of shock induced by their brain that practically drugs them with endorphins to minimize pain and stress.
@@kriegwolf2000 That is highly likely but the mere existence of pistol keys shows that the risk of a condemned person taking their chances was a real worry. Still, especially now I suspect that an sucessful attack on a guard causing injury, an event that needs to be investigated, and as such create a cause to delay the execution. This begs the question how to negotiate with a death row inmate that successfully taken a hostage?
Getting shot and then thrown in a dungeon to the rats and develop gangrene and die slowly is worse than the garrote. So they went to their deaths calmly.
The Garrote was used in Spain as an execution method right until the death of the dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. I believe Salvador Puig Antich was the last victim of this brutal form of execution.
Don't forget that garrots were also used in conjunction with burning at the stake and were considered a merciful way for the victim to die. The stake would have a hole bored through it at the level of the victims neck and a rope would be fed through this to secure the victims head to the stake to prevent thrashing. If the executioner felt like being kind they could use, or attempt to as it exposed them to the flames as well, this rope to garrot the victim to death before they burned to death.
However, it is also described that the executioner was often unable to handle the garrote because, due to the oil (or something alike) used to stimulate the fire in the wood, the flames sprang up quickly, not allowing the executioner to reach the garrote in due time. In addition, the condemned man did not always deserve the executioner's mercy - for this, the victim had to give the executioner some money or a jewel. Only towards the end of the 20th Century, Spain put the Garrote aside and France did the same with the Guillotine. Severely cruel countries, indeed!!! Why not just a straight shot to the head? Lethal injection seems like a "very good" modern alternative method indeed; but read something about the ceremonial before the execution with regular forced injections with medication to prevent allergic reactions during the execution (what a cynicism...!!!), and the applications of probes in the bladder and rectum to contain any loss of excretions during the execution before a sudden and expected horror at the fatal hour, not to mention the journalistic public and the fact that sometimes the needles are not inserted properly into the veins, causing excruciating pain. We can answer that criminals deserve to end up like that; but we must bear in mind that, with their lives, they will pay the "bills" they owe to the Society. In fact, God sleeps a lot... sometimes He wakes up to send us Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Great Fires, Wars... God who, being a Spirit, has also Body; in fact, today (June 16, 2022) in the Catholic world is the holiday of the "Body of God"!

There are three famous Filipino martyrs, all men of the Catholic cloth, who were executed this way on charges of subversion. They were Fathers Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora, given the portmanteau "Gomburza."

@@arthurbrumagem3844 Not really. Those rings are designed for one finger and would be very, very difficult to keep in your hand with a struggling victim. I've used the wire saw while camping several times and even with a small branch (that isn't struggling) they are tough to hold onto and really require gloves. They are meant for slow sawing on small pieces of wood to build lean-to shelters or firewood that is only a few inches in diameter. You can't hold onto the wire either since they would cut you making it even more difficult to hold on to. Yes, they look nasty in the photo but once you've tried to actually use one on a piece of wood, you'd see how having only one finger in it to apply pressure would probably not go in your favor.
@@slayer8actual have used them myself. Actually had a vet use one to get a bone off my dogs muzzle ( round ham bone). As to the ring on the saw one could easily add a bigger ring for grip but since the authorities won’t let me test one I’m guessing 👿😂😂😂
The garrote is brutal compared to some methods of execution, but it ain’t got shit on crucifixion, burning at the stake, breaking on the wheel, impaling, stoning, or the brazen bull…. Meanwhile the guillotine was actually supposed to be a quicker, cleaner, less torturous and more humane method of execution than the methods that preceded it - a quick, clean certain cut rather than the potentially botched hacking by a traditional headsman, not prolonged asphyxiation from the noose or the garrote, no prolonged agony in the flames, no risk of slow painful death because of poor marksmanship by the firing squad…. That it also allowed rapid executions one after the other was not the original reason why the French adopted it. If I wax going to be executed but I could choose the method, I’d take the guillotine over lethal injection, the electric chair, the gas chamber, hanging or a firing squad. A nice large draught of hemlock might well be my first choice though.
@@kilogram064 well, there’s going to be a lot of blood, so from the perspective of the janitors cleaning up after an execution there are cleaner methods. But it’s clean in the sense that it’s (relatively) painless, quick, lacking in big torture show spectacle and the executioner is very unlikely to botch the execution. Not psychologically or emotionally messy, not going to turn into a prolonged carnival “shit show” for how long it takes and how many mistakes were made by the executioners. Of course the public spectacle and carnival show effect can easily be added back in by making an elaborate pre-execution parade of the condemned with ceremonies emphasizing their “worthiness” for state-ordered death and/or demonstrating how quickly the guillotine can mow through the necks of a long line of condemned prisoners, but that’s a different problem than the idea that executions should be done in humane fashion. But then again, you can do the parade and ceremony with any execution method.
@@johnnyp146532 amazing unthinkable horror with that bull ,ever since I first saw it never been far from my mind and has bad as it is ,if I could I'd bring it back for child molesters and child killers it would surely stop some of that happening .

In old Turkey when the Sultan died one of his sons was named as the new sultan.All his brothers and half brothers were promptly garroted in order to avoid internecine conflict.
Yes! One of the main reason why the Ottoman Empire declined. Even if you're not related but an important field commander and loose a major battle you will be executed.
@@robertotamesis1783 There was an Englishman in the 18th century in Constantinople who was beheaded for wearing the wrong colour of shoe.That colour was reserved solely for the sultan.In another case where a Western visitor upset a Turkish official,the Turk told the guy to give him his hat,took a dump in it...and then ordered the unfortunate guy to put the hat back on his head!

Kali Ma was the goddess that the thugee worshiped. They killed humans in sacrifices to her, the word thug comes from that. They were famous with the garrote.
Sometimes those executed were serial killers, psychopaths who were a danger to society Other times, it was purely political, or a cruel power play, and so many innocents must have died, too Life in society is complex, like that.
My uncle who recently passed away due to cancer was a Vietnam War veteran. When I was young, he told stories around the campfire of the brutality of the war. I remember one instance when he told the story of a Vietcong who brutally tortured and murdered an American prisoner of war. The Vietcong flayed the American's entire body, then rubbed a mixture of sand and salt all over, then to top it off, smeared honey all over for the insects and rodents to slowly eat away.
@@thomasryan5357 It was amongst my uncles. I secretly eavesdropped. Because I was so young, my memory of that story is so clear as if I saw it firsthand.
What a savage way to kill somebody. I know that no execution is without pain, either physical, or more painfully, mentally. It seems that the guillotine has to be the most humane of the lot. A fast and very sharp blade to the bad of the neck.
There’s a far more gruesome form of garroting, in which the wire is firmly ran along the victim’s neck, as a means to tear the victim’s throat open, causing a slow death via blood loss or “drowning” in their own blood.
0:36 Anne Boleyn _requested_ a French swordsman as a last request of her husband. I don't think he cared whether she died swiftly or painfully as long as she just _died_ so he could get on with wooing Jane Seymour. He probably knew very well Boleyn wasn't guilty of incest or much else she was accused of, and this giving to her a swift death probably went a long ways in helping him assauge what little conscience he had in the matter.
Late Sir Christopher Lee taught his Yugoslavian Partisan how use them . One special designed garrote had knots design to crush the throat quickly w/o a sound.
I have an old publication which shows Greek partisans from their civil war posing in a group photo with the severed heads of their enemies neatly arranged in a row in front of them.
@@tolrem if you are small enough can turn around like carrying 5-kilo of rice over your shoulder , at the same time victim is choking to death. Did you watch the movie "Salt" starring Angelina Jolie was choking her last victim in that manner. The stunt coordinators tethered Angelina Jolie wires . If that were real the victim would be dead in seconds . It's part of Hollywood suspend magic that no one should recreate by professional stunt coordinators.
@@robertotamesis1783 It was the Greek civil war after WW2 against the Greek Communists.It was very brutal.Yugoslavia supported the communists initially.
@@tolrem Remember this Yugoslavia had 30% Muslim population and 10% Chekniks join the Nazi side. Boz Tito when after them into North Macedonia w/c angered Moscow which was under controlled by the Soviet Union. I believe Chekniks Soviet support tried to support Greek communist. This was the time when East Germany and Poland was to go the Soviet sphere of influence, and that the Greek communist will be abandoned by the Soviet. In fact there was a secret negotiations . We know Prince Philip Queen Elizabeth the husband is to be 3rd to the throne to of King of Greece . The British poured support to the Democratic Greek forces. Eventually Stalin agreed to drop support to the red Greeks. I 🤔 wonder if Prince Philip was Polish prince. ??
I was under the impression that the garrote was a mechanical device (like that seen at 3:36) that drove a wedge into the back of the neck dislocating the cervical vertebrae...nothing to do with strangulation. This was at a time when someone was under threat of death during Franco's regime.
The sad part about those methods of punishment and torture where the first people who were punished by those methods were people who were killed because of their beliefs and because of the leadership of those countries didn't care if they were guilty or not and because of superstitious beliefs were afraid of people who don't believe in the same religion and because some times it's the king or queen felt that that the people who were considered a threat to their church or their communities or their kingdom and some times they wanted to show to the people of their kingdom that they are the only ones who are the ones who have the right to make the laws of the land and they have the right to who lives or who gets killed
I've seen another type of garrote. It is kind of a chair with a high back where the victim will seat and have his or her throat sustained by a metal ring and, at the back of the head it had a screw that by the speed of turning it would cause death by choke and breaking the neck. I was told that that instrument was used by the Spanish Inquisition.
It’s amazing how we made an event out of this. Humanity is a scary thing. Problem is we are all born insane. We live with a gun to our head with constant threat of nuclear annihilation. It’s amazing how we just go along our lives with this constant threat.
The death penalty for political crimes was abolished in Portugal in 1852, for civil crimes in 1867 and for military crimes in 1911. The first country in Europe.
Not so fun fact, The garrote was used to kill Father Jose Burgos, a catholic priest. This, in part, caused Jose Rizal to write Noli Me Tangere which was largely responsible for the Filipino revolution and resulting independence.
It should probably be added that there are different types of garrotes. Snares are not garrotes in that sense. Not all garrotes were for the purpose of strangling the convict. Most Built garrots were tasked with breaking the neck or puncturing the neck with a bolt. Garottes also occur in forms to, for example, break fingers and also lead to pushing eyes into the skull. They use as much in torture as in pure executions
It's odd that this narration never mentioned the name of Francisco Franco, one of history's most brutal fascist dictators, who used the garrotte extensively against political opponents during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. Many of the illustrations here are from the Philippines, and may be reenactments rather than real executions. Others are drawings by Goya. The Nazis are reported to have used this device on high ranking officers (e.g. Canaris). Rommel committed suicide rather than being returned to Berlin for trial, with this probable result.
Humans easily the most savage and cruel animals on Earth.

So true but it could easily be used as a garrote.
@@arthurbrumagem3844 Not really. Those rings are designed for one finger and would be very, very difficult to keep in your hand with a struggling victim. I've used the wire saw while camping several times and even with a small branch (that isn't struggling) they are tough to hold onto and really require gloves. They are meant for slow sawing on small pieces of wood to build lean-to shelters or firewood that is only a few inches in diameter. You can't hold onto the wire either since they would cut you making it even more difficult to hold on to.
Yes, they look nasty in the photo but once you've tried to actually use one on a piece of wood, you'd see how having only one finger in it to apply pressure would probably not go in your favor.
@@slayer8actual have used them myself. Actually had a vet use one to get a bone off my dogs muzzle ( round ham bone). As to the ring on the saw one could easily add a bigger ring for grip but since the authorities won’t let me test one I’m guessing 👿😂😂😂
I've seen a wire saw used to dehorn rams, and also seen it used by a vet.
The garrote is brutal compared to some methods of execution, but it ain’t got shit on crucifixion, burning at the stake, breaking on the wheel, impaling, stoning, or the brazen bull….
Meanwhile the guillotine was actually supposed to be a quicker, cleaner, less torturous and more humane method of execution than the methods that preceded it - a quick, clean certain cut rather than the potentially botched hacking by a traditional headsman, not prolonged asphyxiation from the noose or the garrote, no prolonged agony in the flames, no risk of slow painful death because of poor marksmanship by the firing squad…. That it also allowed rapid executions one after the other was not the original reason why the French adopted it.
If I wax going to be executed but I could choose the method, I’d take the guillotine over lethal injection, the electric chair, the gas chamber, hanging or a firing squad. A nice large draught of hemlock might well be my first choice though.
The gillotine was quick but I am not to sure how clean it was.
@@kilogram064 well, there’s going to be a lot of blood, so from the perspective of the janitors cleaning up after an execution there are cleaner methods.
But it’s clean in the sense that it’s (relatively) painless, quick, lacking in big torture show spectacle and the executioner is very unlikely to botch the execution. Not psychologically or emotionally messy, not going to turn into a prolonged carnival “shit show” for how long it takes and how many mistakes were made by the executioners.
Of course the public spectacle and carnival show effect can easily be added back in by making an elaborate pre-execution parade of the condemned with ceremonies emphasizing their “worthiness” for state-ordered death and/or demonstrating how quickly the guillotine can mow through the necks of a long line of condemned prisoners, but that’s a different problem than the idea that executions should be done in humane fashion. But then again, you can do the parade and ceremony with any execution method.
Henry the 8th had a guy boiled to death.
Ouch...that spike in the back of the neck is brutal!
Why are you showing a hand wire wood cutting saw at 2:14?
Though these videos are very disturbing, I'm fascinated by them!
Oh man.... That's horrific! But, I'd take it over the Brazen Bull!
Too rite .
You’re not kidding. I can’t think of a more horrific way to die than being burned inside the bull. Talk about man’s inhumanity to man.
Gosh yes, would find it ghastly! Even as a spectator, ewww!
@@johnnyp146532 amazing unthinkable horror with that bull ,ever since I first saw it never been far from my mind and has bad as it is ,if I could I'd bring it back for child molesters and child killers it would surely stop some of that happening .
@@johnnyp146532 and the other thing not mentioned with that bull ,is they put an air line out of its mouth ,were if the prisoner would bother trying to suck air in whilst creating more horror with there screams ,it is truly a worst nightmare scenario and for those who don't know ,its creator was its first victim ordered by the king what a horrible crazy world at times .
In old Turkey when the Sultan died one of his sons was named as the new sultan.All his brothers and half brothers were promptly garroted in order to avoid internecine conflict.
Yes! One of the main reason why the Ottoman Empire declined. Even if you're not related but an important field commander and loose a major battle you will be executed.
@@robertotamesis1783 There was an Englishman in the 18th century in Constantinople who was beheaded for wearing the wrong colour of shoe.That colour was reserved solely for the sultan.In another case where a Western visitor upset a Turkish official,the Turk told the guy to give him his hat,took a dump in it...and then ordered the unfortunate guy to put the hat back on his head!
@@tolrem Yes ! They did same thing with Russian too. When the Ottoman Empire fell , the many janissaries had no contract to continue, some found refuge in the north of Georgia ,Russia Chechyna !
At 2.18 that's a gigli saw, survival tool, there are surgical versions to saw bone, you could cut a head off with it but the little finger holes wouldn't be very efficient for garotting.
Kali Ma was the goddess that the thugee worshiped. They killed humans in sacrifices to her, the word thug comes from that. They were famous with the garrote.
You betrayed Shiva!!!
@Lauren Lewis My apologies Goddess! Please forgive my foolish mouth and accept my humble apology
Sometimes those executed were serial killers, psychopaths who were a danger to society
Other times, it was purely political, or a cruel power play, and so many innocents must have died, too
Life in society is complex, like that.
My uncle who recently passed away due to cancer was a Vietnam War veteran.
When I was young, he told stories around the campfire of the brutality of the war.
I remember one instance when he told the story of a Vietcong who brutally tortured and murdered an American prisoner of war. The Vietcong flayed the American's entire body, then rubbed a mixture of sand and salt all over, then to top it off, smeared honey all over for the insects and rodents to slowly eat away.
thats some really sick entertainment!
@@thomasryan5357 It was amongst my uncles. I secretly eavesdropped. Because I was so young, my memory of that story is so clear as if I saw it firsthand.
Another great video. Looking forward to future episodes 👍
Сколько орудий убийства и пыток в религиозной Европе, я понимаю, богу очень нужны были эти казни и издевательства.☝😑
And all that was done with no anesthetic, no pain killer, no knock out gas, no nothing.
People on death row for horrific murders deserve to suffer when they are executed
Ask them if they have any complaints.
And they wasn’t even offered a cup of tea! Diabolical!
So it would hurt more.....
Please keep up the torture/execution videos! They are so fascinating and interesting x
why
@@godgoodtheknight3060 why is something interesting to someone?
Fascinating? I don't think so.
@@dme1016 ever heard of personal interests?
@@emzybenzey No. The world does as I say, or there will be severe personal consequences!!!
What a savage way to kill somebody. I know that no execution is without pain, either physical, or more painfully, mentally.
It seems that the guillotine has to be the most humane of the lot. A fast and very sharp blade to the bad of the neck.
Is it being used today by the ring knockers.
Two of the garrotes shown at the beginning are actually hand saws used to cut tree limbs
What a Wonderful World -Louis Armstrong
Humans can be cruel bastards sometimes
What a child like delivery!
There’s a far more gruesome form of garroting, in which the wire is firmly ran along the victim’s neck, as a means to tear the victim’s throat open, causing a slow death via blood loss or “drowning” in their own blood.
“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”
😄
TA TA TAAAAAAAAH
0:36 Anne Boleyn _requested_ a French swordsman as a last request of her husband. I don't think he cared whether she died swiftly or painfully as long as she just _died_ so he could get on with wooing Jane Seymour. He probably knew very well Boleyn wasn't guilty of incest or much else she was accused of, and this giving to her a swift death probably went a long ways in helping him assauge what little conscience he had in the matter.
You think being drawn & quartered is LESS brutal? What about crucifixion, the brazen bull, etc.?
Late Sir Christopher Lee taught his Yugoslavian Partisan how use them . One special designed garrote had knots design to crush the throat quickly w/o a sound.
I have an old publication which shows Greek partisans from their civil war posing in a group photo with the severed heads of their enemies neatly arranged in a row in front of them.
@@tolrem if you are small enough can turn around like carrying 5-kilo of rice over your shoulder , at the same time victim is choking to death. Did you watch the movie "Salt" starring Angelina Jolie was choking her last victim in that manner. The stunt coordinators tethered Angelina Jolie wires . If that were real the victim would be dead in seconds . It's part of Hollywood suspend magic that no one should recreate by professional stunt coordinators.
@@tolrem what war was that? Independence from the Turks. The Serbs against Muslim community ?
@@robertotamesis1783 It was the Greek civil war after WW2 against the Greek Communists.It was very brutal.Yugoslavia supported the communists initially.
@@tolrem Remember this Yugoslavia had 30% Muslim population and 10% Chekniks join the Nazi side. Boz Tito when after them into North Macedonia w/c angered Moscow which was under controlled by the Soviet Union. I believe Chekniks Soviet support tried to support Greek communist. This was the time when East Germany and Poland was to go the Soviet sphere of influence, and that the Greek communist will be abandoned by the Soviet. In fact there was a secret negotiations . We know Prince Philip Queen Elizabeth the husband is to be 3rd to the throne to of King of Greece . The British poured support to the Democratic Greek forces. Eventually Stalin agreed to drop support to the red Greeks. I 🤔 wonder if Prince Philip was Polish prince. ??
I think the garrote at 2:10 is actually a survival saw but it would work all the same...
Remember in Hungary they executed the Leaders of the Revolt in 1956 by garroting. But they used a Rope.
Really that was a type of hanging - pole hanging or the Wuergegalgen as the Austrians called it.
When cruelty and brutality sociopathy and sadism is rewarded by those in power because it promotes more power what hope do we have
Humanity truly is a stain on humanity
The criminals are the ones ordering this death
The British people been suffering this from successive governments since 1963
I was under the impression that the garrote was a mechanical device (like that seen at 3:36) that drove a wedge into the back of the neck dislocating the cervical vertebrae...nothing to do with strangulation. This was at a time when someone was under threat of death during Franco's regime.
First saw one in the movie "Goya's Ghosts"
2:18 shows a wire saw NOT a garrotte, not to say it could not be used as such, but it’s purpose is to cut wood
There's a lot I could name that deserve this today.
It was also used extensively in the Belgian Congo as part of the reign of terror imposed by King Leopold.
Sssssh, people are not supposed to know about what went on in the Belgian Congo., or in South West Africa.
They [Belgians] also used to amputate limbs by way of an axe for any of the native people who didn't cooperate. A very dark time in Belgium's history.
Not enough were killed!
@@edwardbellingham3509 That's a bit harsh.
@@johnperks8620 Don't care about your feelings.
It seems that the Garrote was a gentle way to murder someone to compare to their other ways of torturing people.
There are some extremely graphic scenes in 1492 Conquest of Paradise
Is the chair torture device in the James Bond Film "The World is Not Enough" a Garrote?
Garrotes have been used to this day. Basically slow hanging.
The sad part about those methods of punishment and torture where the first people who were punished by those methods were people who were killed because of their beliefs and because of the leadership of those countries didn't care if they were guilty or not and because of superstitious beliefs were afraid of people who don't believe in the same religion and because some times it's the king or queen felt that that the people who were considered a threat to their church or their communities or their kingdom and some times they wanted to show to the people of their kingdom that they are the only ones who are the ones who have the right to make the laws of the land and they have the right to who lives or who gets killed
I've seen another type of garrote. It is kind of a chair with a high back where the victim will seat and have his or her throat sustained by a metal ring and, at the back of the head it had a screw that by the speed of turning it would cause death by choke and breaking the neck. I was told that that instrument was used by the Spanish Inquisition.
It’s amazing how we made an event out of this. Humanity is a scary thing. Problem is we are all born insane. We live with a gun to our head with constant threat of nuclear annihilation. It’s amazing how we just go along our lives with this constant threat.
No one expects me Spanish Inquisition
The death penalty for political crimes was abolished in Portugal in 1852, for civil crimes in 1867 and for military crimes in 1911. The first country in Europe.
Megan and Lucille would have made a fortune during the Tudor era.
You literally call them all most brutal 🤣
That last "garrote" was actually a survival saw.
So it's a multitool! 🙂
This really chokes me up…
2:10 is a wood saw. Comes in a survival knife.
The Inca emperor's name is pronounced Ata whelp a, not Ata ha loop a
Ahhhh the Garrote.. Thats the weapon that can never be found during inspection in the Hitman game
This makes the guillotine look more humaine.
Not so fun fact, The garrote was used to kill Father Jose Burgos, a catholic priest. This, in part, caused Jose Rizal to write Noli Me Tangere which was largely responsible for the Filipino revolution and resulting independence.
Why is a wire saw for wood shown as a military garrote? It could serve as an improvised weapon but it is not a manufactured weapon.
because much of what is on this channel is incorrect or made up "facts".
Piano wire with two wooden pieces.
Is it not true that an identical instrument is used both for cutting clay, in pottery, and for cutting cheese (in cheesemaking)?
It should probably be added that there are different types of garrotes. Snares are not garrotes in that sense. Not all garrotes were for the purpose of strangling the convict. Most Built garrots were tasked with breaking the neck or puncturing the neck with a bolt. Garottes also occur in forms to, for example, break fingers and also lead to pushing eyes into the skull. They use as much in torture as in pure executions
At the Bronx Zoo in New York, at the entrance is a huge mirror which states, "The Most Dangerous Animal In The World." Says it all 🤦🏽♀️
It's odd that this narration never mentioned the name of Francisco Franco, one of history's
most brutal fascist dictators, who used the garrotte extensively against political opponents
during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. Many of the illustrations here are from the Philippines,
and may be reenactments rather than real executions. Others are drawings by Goya.
The Nazis are reported to have used this device on high ranking officers (e.g. Canaris).
Rommel committed suicide rather than being returned to Berlin for trial, with this probable result.
Nazis hung high ranking officers with piano wire and filmed it. Nice guys.
Strange. This should pop up now.
