During the reign of King Henry VIII, there were roughly 70,000 people who were executed in England and many were condemned due to the King's religious changes. Richard Whiting was the Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey and he was a powerful man inside of England's religion but Henry VIII attacked the monasteries and dissolved the monasteries. He targeted Glastonbury Abbey and arrested Richard Whiting who was then executed in his late 70s. But he was subjected to a harrowing execution, where he was hanged, drawn and quartered and his head was then placed on a pike high above his former Abbey. It was a harrowing and humiliating execution for an elderly peaceful man who did little wrong.
