Lord Saye and Sele's Execution

The skulls of Baron Saye and his son-in-law were impaled on pikes in an unceremonious manner by a mob after they were executed for treason and had their heads severed (by beheading). The heads were then forced together to give the appearance that they were kissing. Supporting the disgraced Duke of Suffolk got him jailed. During Henry VI's reign, the Duke of Suffolk was in control. England lost much of its land in northern France under him, and he was punished harshly for his failure. Suffolk was caught for treason and slain, as were his supporters.
