The guillotine is named after the doctor and politician Joseph-Ignace Guillotin in 1792. As early as the thirteenth century, became a forerunner of the guillotine invented. It was only during the the French revolution that the guillotine became infamous!

Guillotine or guillotine is a French device intended to carry out the execution of death row inmates by beheading. It consists of a tall, standing frame with a hanging later obliquely sharp blade (about 40 kg). The blade is hoisted to the top of the frame with a rope and held there until the victim’s head is placed on a secured strap. Then loosen the rope so that the heavy blade falls (about 2-3 meters) and cuts off the head at the neck.
