felnégyelve
Felnégyelve, meaning "quartered" in Hungarian, refers to a form of medieval execution and punishment where a condemned person's body was dismembered. This brutal practice involved the severing of limbs, typically at the joints, and often the torso. The intent was not only to end the victim's life but also to inflict extreme suffering and serve as a public spectacle to deter others from similar crimes.
The procedure itself varied, but generally involved restraining the individual and then using axes or swords
Felnégyelve was reserved for the most heinous crimes, such as treason, regicide, or rebellion against authority.
