Beheading was the rarest punishment in the Middle Ages, as most people were executed in a manner of various ways including hanging, being 'hung, drawn and quartered', disembowelment as well as other nasty methods or execution.
Beheading however was considered an honour and was reserved for executions of very noble figures, such as Charles I after the English Civil War (during the renaissance of the 1600s when the methods of punishment were mostly unchanged).
