I read years ago that drawing and quartering involved four horses and four ropes, one attached to each arm and leg, running away at 90 degrees from each other.

Sounds way more efficient than the hanging and chopping stuff, and left the mess out in the boondocks.

But, I didn’t have google in 1958.
