What does "drawing and quartering" mean?

"Drawing and quartering" is a form of execution reserved for those found guilty of treason. First the victim would be dragged on a hurdle (a sledge), then he would be hanged but not long enough to kill him; then he was "drawn" (disembowled), and then his body was "quartered" (split into 4 parts). Strangely, the previously cited Britannica article defines "drawn" in the sense just given, but a different article from the same source claims that "drawn" is the act being dragged by the horse. It also points out that the "quartering" was often done by tying the arms and legs to four different horses and then having them run in four different directions. This punishment first occurred in 1238, but did not become law until 1283, when it was meted out to the Welsh prince David ap Gruffudd. The word "quarter" ironically came to mean 'to show mercy to a foe' by the 1610s.
