Had the deceased not reached for something during the event, he would be awaiting trial by judge today. (I don't see how anyone could seat a jury in his case and Judge Judy would have to recuse herself on this one, too.)<br /><br />That said, I stand by what I wrote. If the deceased acted like a bloodthirsty pirate, then he ought to go out as one! The brutality of the age was meant to deter the activities of it. I could've gone with the tried and true Roman method: Slit the throat and crucify the body, as did Julius Caesar.<br /><br />Ulises from CA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-46775984689898584912011-05-20T01:50:43.284-04:002011-05-20T01:50:43.284-04:00Cause of death: acute lead poisoning.

The bad news is you were not given a proper burial. For many pirates, this bad news was quite frightening. It meant that your immortal soul would never have any chance of redemption.<br /><br /> The practice of hanging in chains or irons was pretty basic. The pirate would be hanged until dead. Then his body would be placed in a iron cage or possibly wrapped in chains. This cage was then hoisted on a rafter and left to rot in a public area.<br /><br /> Typically this public place would be a dock where other potential pirates would be able to view it as a warning/reminder of what comes of those who go on the account. Such places as harbor entrances were a favorite for hanging pirates in irons. Gallows Point was one of the most famous paces.<br /><br /> The body would remain on display until there really wasn't anything left to display because of decomposition. At this point the rotting body would most often be dumped in the ocean for fish food or, at best, buried between the tides. It was very rare for a body hanged in irons to be claimed, due to the enormous amount of disgrace attached to such a person and the assumption that whom ever claimed the body was a pirate as well. "<br /><br />Thus ought he to have been treated. Perhaps a few destroyers stationed nearby to keep the riffraff from claiming his remains, too.<br /><br />Ulises from CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-70468095636196568502011-05-19T13:55:48.293-04:002011-05-19T13:55:48.293-04:00I'm all for letting his relatives see the body...I'm all for letting his relatives see the body.
