More dogs:
For another execution with a dog - in this case bits of a dog - cf. that of
Provost Bertulf of St Donatian's in Bruges, in 1127 (Galbert of Bruges, The
Murder of Charles the Good, c.57).
Dogs could be used for other, less brutal forms of humiliation: see B. Schwenk,
'Das Hundetragen. Ein Rechtsbrauch im Mittelalter', Historisches Jahrbuch, 110
(1990), 289-308.
