Re: Execution-methods & background

[(Anonymous)]

My impression was that firing squad wasn't a thing in France until the 20th century. Common criminals got hung, heretics got burned, nobility got beheaded with a sword (some guy tried to assassinate Richelieu, or have him assassinated, failed, and Richelieu made sure that the apprentice executioner did the beheading so it took twenty one strikes to cut his head off). They just had the firing squad in the pilot for dramatic purposes. Athos should have been hung, unless he wanted to pull rank and for a beheading. I'm not actually sure about the hanging, either. That might have been more of an English thing.

If you want to make it make sense with internal show logic (good luck!) I'd go with racism.

Thank you. I don't even need it to make sense for any fic-purposes or so (at least so far). I was just really confused.
