Description
On January 30, 1606, Everard Digby, Robert Wintour, John Grant, and Thomas Bates, were tied to hurdles (wooden panels) and dragged through the crowded streets of London to St Paul's Churchyard. Digby was stripped of his clothing, and wearing only a shirt, climbed the ladder to place his head through the noose. He was quickly cut down, and while still fully conscious was castrated, disemboweled, and then quartered, along with the three other prisoners. The following day, Wintour, Rookwood, Keyes, and Guy Fawkes were hanged, drawn and quartered, opposite the building they had planned to blow up, in the Old Palace Yard at Westminster.
