medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Actually this method is also attested as used by Arabs ("Turks") in one
of the crusading chronicles.
There has even been an article or two about it. I can look up references
if anyone is REALLY interested,
but they are in the bottom of filing cabinets!

round the post until all his intestines had unravelled ..... Martyrdom
is NOT for the squeamish. Is this a SCHOOLS project ?
The "Field Guide to Saints" slide show that I once saw at a day of
workshops had at the end of its description "WARNING: Violence, adult
themes" ;)
