According to their martyrologists, a common way of dealing with Waldensians in the sixteenth-ish century was to tie the head to the legs so that they would roll like a ball when pushed into an Alpine ravine. But would that kind of ethnic cleansing count as ‘execution’? Ian Spackman (talk) 22:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
- Was there some sort of trial in which the authorities (ecclesiastical of secular) condemned the martyr to death? If so, I think that counts.-Schnurrbart (talk) 03:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- That makes sense. I might be wrong, but I think it was not as legalistic as that. So we’ll leave them out. Ian Spackman (talk) 08:23, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
