About this deal

The Vow: When Lady Lianne tells Lord Shen that he's becoming like her father, he becomes enraged at being compared to the old noble he hates vehemently and threatens to begin his conquest of China with Lianne's father's lands and bring her his head on a silver platter. Fortunately neither of those threats get a chance to be carried out.

Wonder Woman (1987): When Barbara Minerva takes off Mr. Urquiza's head on her way to his boss Sebastian Ballesteros she brings it along and dangles the lifeless head from her claws as she taunts the man who tried to take Cheetah from her. Pushed up a notch by Leo Bonhart in Tower of the Swallow, who forces Ciri to watch as he saws off her True Companions' (whom he previously slaughtered) heads off, leaving her First Love ( a girl, to boot) for last, and then presents them proudly to her. Ciri doesn't take it very well, to say the least. In F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, Snake Fist is decapitated right before your eyes the game even has him hand you a BFG to make sure that you're good and close when it happens by a Cyborg Clone Ninja Mutant, which rips it off and carries it away. You find his head a short time later, deliberately left where you will see it, and just before they're waiting to ambush you. It's (deliberately?) a little ambiguous, but have a look at the Tekken 3 intro . Is that Jun's head?!

Civilian pikeman played a similar role, though outnumbered and outgunned, in the 1798 rising in Ireland four years later. Here, especially in the Wexford Rebellion and in Dublin, the pike was useful mainly as a weapon by men and women fighting on foot against cavalry armed with guns.

One twenty-first century historian summed up her opinion as to why such behavior with severed heads occurred, stating: In the last book of The Wheel of Time, Lan Mandragoran does this with Demandred, to show the result of their duel, and to dishearten his army.

Motana's father Kenada displays the heads of the sorcerer, and a few of the sorcerer's buddies, after killing them and rescuing Naida (Motana's intended) from the evil sorcerer's clutches.In For the Man Who Has Everything, Mongul's dream fantasy involves tearing off Superman's head and making it his banner as he goes on to conquer everywhere.

The Monsignor is not pleased. In 1642, the King attempted to arrest several members of Parliament on a charge of treason. But rather than hand the men over, many members of Parliament took up arms. Sensing that his support in London was weak, the King fled to the north and communities around the country began to choose sides. By the end of the year, the English Civil War was raging. Under Thomas Fairfax and his second-in-command Oliver Cromwell, the Parliamentary forces eventually gained the upper hand. By 1646, the Royalist forces were exhausted and King Charles fell into Parliamentary custody. In England, the heads of criminals, especially those convicted of treason, were mounted for display on London Bridge from about 1300 until about 1660. [2] [3] Heads were usually dipped in tar to slow down the decomposition process. Criminal punishment was sometimes posthumous, as the body of Oliver Cromwell was exhumed so that it could be hanged, drawn, and quartered, and his head was mounted on a spike and displayed for 30 years.
