Disembowelment

The Ausdärmen refers to the forcible pulling out the entrails of a delinquent from the abdominal cavity, as in the sacred legend of Erasmus of Antioch († 303) is described. Unless it affects the medieval and early modern sources under German law, the Ausdärmen appeared as a stand- alone sentence is in the rural Weis shrines. As sources of legal practice entirely absent, which attest their application is probably to talk about a fantasy punishment.

In English law the Ausdärmen appears - in the form of Eviscerate - on the other hand, in law and legal practice, but not as a punishment for standing up, but as Aggravating in the face of high treason (see: Hanged, drawn and quartered ). The delinquent was therefore subjected to a combination of extremely agonizing punitive actions with eventually fatal, one of which was the Ausdärmen / Eviscerate, which could be of course also made posthumously.
