After Thomas Doughty was executed by beheading in 1546, his body was reportedly displayed on a pike as a warning to others. His head was also displayed, often as a gruesome reminder of the consequences of treason. This practice was not uncommon during that time, as it served both to punish individuals and to deter potential dissenters.
