French Quartering:

Quartering was what the courts ordered as punishment for men convicted of regicide against the King of France. First, the condemned were tortured with red-hot pincers. Then molten lead and scalding wax and boiling oil was poured into the wounds caused by first burning the hand that committed the crime with sulphur. Next stampeding wild horses tore off the limbs of the regicides. Finally, death thankfully occurred from burning alive the still-living torso. The English hanged, drawn, and quartered on the other hand is very different from the French Quartering.
