i live in Belgium, the former Low countries! In my regions it was normal if you were from high birth than the decapition was done by the sword without discussion, and if you were of lower birth than they performed it with an axe! I am sursprised to read that this rule didn't stand in England and that for high birth its was normal to use an axe?
