Guy Fawkes was part of the Gunpowder Plot to overthrow King Edward and restore Popery to England (I'm summarizing). As a penalty he was drawn and quartered. The part where they spool your intestines on to a dough roller seems really severe.
I thought they just tied your four limbs (quarters) to a draft horse (drawn) and let them do their stuff. Having seen the draft horses at the American Royal for several years, I thought this could hurt. But that emasculation stuff and gibbeting. Well that is going to make for some bad Karma.
