hanging,drawing and quartering
The victim was first hanged until nearly unconscious but not dead, then cut down from the gibbet and disembowelled - the organs were usually burnt in front of him. Finally, he was beheaded and his body hacked into four (quartering).
Adultery by women, one supposes, would be fiercely prosecuted, while adultery by men would be tolerated. Indeed, scholars of women’s history often treat adultery as a paradigmatically female crime.

Law and order was very harsh in Medieval England. It was believed that people would only learn how to behave properly if they feared what would happen to them if they broke the law. Even the 'smallest' offences had serious punishments.
Medieval, "police," typically called upon all citizens of a community to catch and deliver a criminal. Citizens who didn't participate were often fined, although being the criminal was much worse. Citizens who suspected foul play would raise a, "hue and cry," in which the local authorities would respond to. Medieval communities were often responsible for their own protection, so they tended to lean more towards heavy punishments rather than wasting time catching criminals. Thieves who were found guilty were hanged...enough said.

Because they were poor
If a man or woman commits adultery, they are whipped 100 times. If they are married and commiut adultery then, they are stoned to death. If a man steals when he does not need to, he has his hand chopped off. I agree, Islamic punishments are severe. However, this is the only way to stop theft, adultery etc. from happening. In the whole lifetime of the prophet Muhammed (pbuh), only 2 people ever had to be capitally punished, this is because, people were afraid. Nowadays, however, due to the punishments being so lenient; adultery, rape and theft happen every single day. So, although, the punishments are severe, they help society become a much safer place.
Hudud are fixed punishments prescribed by Islamic law for certain crimes, such as theft, adultery, or drinking alcohol. These punishments are meant to serve as a deterrent and are considered mandatory in Islamic jurisprudence. The application of hudud requires strict evidence and conditions to be met.

Punishments in medieval Britain were often severe in order to scare people into keeping in line. Serious crimes were held in the King's court and could be ordeals by fire, water, or combat.
from what I have read, a lady in Beaumont was charged with a 3rd degree felony for Bigamy. She could face 2-10 years probation and a $10,000 fine. This was in March 2008. My mom just found out her 2nd husband was still married to his last wife, so she is working on this also.
1) As a warning to everyone what was in store for them if they violated the laws. 2) As a form of entertainment for the citizenry at Fairs, Market Day, etc.
The Catholic Church dominated the lives of medieval people by telling them when they should work, what religious traditions they should follow, and what punishments they should get if any laws were broken. It was even more powerful than the king or queen.
