ANST - Cruxcifixion - questions and answers

[Genevieve de Courtanvaux]

I need to correct one of my answers to you.....that of when crucifixion was
ended. According to A History of Torture crucifixion reemerged throughout
the centuries. In 1127 the last recorded crucifixion occurred in France.
Bertholde, the murderer of Charles the Righteous, was crucified by the order
of Louis.
