Death by burning (also known as immolation) is an execution method involving combustion or exposure to extreme heat. It has a long history as a form of capital punishment, and many societies have employed it for criminal activities such as treason, heresy and witchcraft. The best-known execution of this type is burning at the stake, where the condemned is bound to a large wooden stake and a fire lit beneath them. Perhaps the most infamous case of this execution method is when it was used to kill Jeanne d'Arc/Joan of Arc. Updated by bot Sun, Sep 18 '22, 02:55 |
