Think you’ll find similarly horrific things have taken place throughout history and are happening now. Look at how Russia treats its prisoners. What hamas did to babies and children in October last year. What Isis does to people.

This always makes me think of the "scarecrows" surrounding the ape fields in Planet of the Apes. That was one of the scariest parts back in the 70s when I saw it first. Multiply that by a few orders of magnitude and I reckon people in those times went around with habituated PTSD.
Welsh poet Dylan Thomas's great poem inciting immortal rebellion, "And death shall have no dominion" conjures up a life being ended by your Breaking Wheel. He was a kid, maybe 17 yo, when he wrote it.
The wheel was reserved for specially cruel crimes or for when you mess with the king property : captured Counterfeiters won an express travel to the wheel. Arsonists who were extremely dangerous in a medieval city without firefighters went Directly to the wheel to serve as an example. Children killers, Rapists etc. Normal thieves where just hanged. Practical and quick.
In fact yes because i can bet pulling your guts out would have kill you in a few minutes or at least let you unconscious by blood loss. Quartering was always post-mortem if i remember well.
Did you know that human rights lawyers have got deportation orders overturned for foreign criminals being return to their own countries of hot climates on the grounds that the prisons did not have air conditioning and this would be a cruel and unusual punishment.

The prisoner Patkull mentioned in the video was a Livonian noble, sentenced to death for treason by Charles XII of Sweden in 1707. A pamphlet in English, describing his ordeal and suffering, was published in London shortly thereafter.
I glad you mentioned that some areas if a breaking wheel execution was botched they would be spared. Because yeah in some areas the person was spared after a botched execution on the wheel but that was not the case everywhere. Just like the case of the person that you mentioned higinrick was not killed when he was supposed to and the execution was botched at that point and he still was broken on the wheel and died in that manner. Also the story of st Catharine shows that divine intervention in some areas did not spare the victims life after a botched execution on the wheel. However st Catharines story is most likely more legend than truth it still shows some of the truth on how executions happened back then. I study executions,torture methods,history of executioners and weapons and many other dark history. So I always appreciate channels that mention the truth about what happened.
You said it was last used in Prusia in I believe 1841 but it was used in Romania in 1907 I believe after a peasant revolt so can you check it out? Maybe a different type ?
I believe that the Russian army did something of the sort,by tying captured German soldiers feet to a tree stump, hands to tank treads,then slowly backing up,while beating their stomachs with clubs. Heard this from an old immigrant who did his time in gulags and was connected . Not saying by any means it’s true,but I can see it happening.

I think just for sheer pain, this and the rack are probably the worst. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I am not against capital punishment, but it should be done quickly and dispassionately. But this just dehumanizes everyone involved.

Hanging, drawing and quartering at Tyburn, London in the morning. Then onto Charring Cross to see the Molly men (gays) pilloried wounded, blinded and some killed by what was thrown at them. Then finish the day with a good laugh at the lunatics in Bedlam on the way home
The evil people that inflicted these atrocities must have been sadist,because no normal human being would be able to inflict so much pain on another human being and live a normal life.lets hope they all had to answer to GOD for there brutality and are now in a place .that they will never get out of .👹
Nope, If one was tied well, easily done with enough, or thick enough rope, by the time it was burnt entirely through, the person would be toast. Literally. Don’t ask me how I know…
I do not know why people have not been able to see the extent of UK brutality over the last 200 years alone, which has been ongoing until today. If anybody has any doubts about UK brutality they should talk to people in India, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, etc.
