In my WIP, my main character witnesses a public execution of a man convicted of murder. I am wondering how this might play out and what method could be used to execute the man- So far beheading seems the obvious way, but I find it a little to direct, hanging is also another option but I wanted something that can be 'over quickly', what methods were there for execution in medieval times besides those I have mentioned?
