Burning at the Stake: A Historical Punishment by ian glover is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the process of being burnt at the stake as a form of capital punishment. A wooden pole would be erected and surrounded by layers of wood and straw. The victim would be stripped, dressed in sulfur-coated clothes, and tied to the pole. Sticks and straw would then be thrown around them before the entire structure was set on fire, burning the victim alive. This torturous execution was typically reserved for those convicted of serious religious crimes like heresy or witchcraft.
