Thomas Wilkinson (pirate)
A gibbet is any instrument of public execution (including guillotine, executioner's block, impalement stake, hanging gallows, or related scaffold).

The practice of placing a criminal on display within a gibbet is also called "hanging in chains". Display Gibbeting was a common law punishment, which a judge could impose in addition to execution. This practice was regularized in England by the Murder Act 1751, which empowered judges to impose this for murder.

The structures were therefore often place ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
