Sue,
You might have a look at Robert Bartlettīs 'The Hanged Man'. As I recall clergy were at least present on the way to the hanging.

Hello all
Hoping someone can help me answer what I thought would be a simple question but on which I've just spent a great deal of time! Would the Fourth Lateran Council's ban on clergy participating in or being present at events involving bloodshed extend to hangings -- in principle or in practice? I would assume that it did, although hanging technically doesn't shed blood.
thanks in advance for your insights!
Sue
