Question: How is Wallace being tortured right after they show one of the executioners tear his shirt open?
Answer:The little people shown before Wallace's execution give us a clue-they are cutting him open and pulling out his guts, then castrating him. Traitor execution traditionally was done by drawing and quartering. This is was done by hanging, then cutting open the abdominal wall and removing the intestines and setting them on fire. A good executioner would then reach up under the rib cage and quickly cut out the still beating heart for all to see.

Man that's pretty grim, but I believe what you wrote. People have always been barbaric. This rates in the top 5.
