Flaying

titian -the flaying of marsyas

In medieval Britain the invasion of the sanctity of the church was classed as sacrilege and the original punishment was to be flayed alive.

The Subprior and the Sacrist of Westminster Abbey broke into the Chapel of the Pyx in 1303 and stole from the contents, this being the abbey muniment and treasury chamber.

The Pyx chapel door has been found to have fragments of human skin attached to it as have the three doors to the revestry. 

Copford church in Essex, England also has been found to have human skin attached.

In China, a variant form of flaying known as death by a thousand cuts was practiced as late as 1905.

    CHEAP GHD have launched a new advertising campaign called ‘Twisted Fairytales’. These cool looking ads feature iconic characters such as Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood and Cinderella with a sexy looking twist. The GHD Straighteners adverts will incorporate the strapline ‘You can do anything with your hair’ and feature all three of these famous fairytale characters with stylish and great looking hair.
