    Tomorrow in 1272 ‘The Lord Edward’ became King Edward I of England upon the death of his father Henry III though, since he was on crusade in Sicily, his new majesty did not receive the news for about a week.

    “Remember, remember the Fifth of November” or “Please to Remember” are variations of a rhyme that commemorates the day in 1605 when a group of Roman Catholics including Guy Fawkes, were caught in the act of trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

    On this day in 1348, the Black Death entered London; over the next year the deadly disease (Bubonic Plague) killed 50% of the poor working population. Whole villages were simply wiped out.

    Bein­g burned at the stake was usually the last stop for torture victims, this form of torture was invariably fatal. Conceptually, it’s a very simple process — create a pile of dry wood with a stake at the center to tie the victim to, and then light it. The fire does all the work

    The word 'torture' comes from the French torture, originating in the Late Latin tortura and ultimately deriving the past participle of torquere meaning 'to twist'.

    The tongue tearer was clamped onto the victims tongue and roughly pulled out of the mouth, ripping the tongue. It was used as a means of punishment rather than an interrogation tactic because the victim would not be able to talk afterwards!
