A gibbet /ˈdʒɪbɪt/ is any instrument of public execution (including guillotine, executioner's block, impalement stake, hanging gallows, or related scaffold). Gibbeting is the use of a gallows-type structure from which the dead or dying bodies of criminals were hanged on public display to deter other existing or potential criminals. Occasionally, the gibbet was also used as a method of execution, with the criminal being left to die of exposure, thirst and/or starvation. The practice of placing a criminal on display within a gibbet is also called "hanging in chains".

  • La gabbia sospesa era uno strumento di tortura usato nel Medioevo. (it)
  • Stegling från verbet "stegla" med betydelsen att spika fast en avrättad persons kropp eller huvud och eventuellt högra hand på en påle i förnedrande och avskräckande syfte. Stegling var vanlig i Sverige under medeltiden och framåt, bland annat som straff för upprorsmän som till exempel snapphanar. Man kunde även steglas levande, som framgår av nyhetsbladet Mercurius den 10 april 1678 då en snapphane "rådbråkades och steglades levande". (sv)
