Alleen de zwaarste criminelen kwamen hiervoor in aanmerking.<\/p>\n<p>De veroordeelde werd op de breekbank vastgebonden, waarna de beul met een ijzeren knuppel een voor een diens ledematen verbrijzelde. Na een lange lijdensweg volgde tot slot de \u2018genadeslag\u2019 op hoofd of hart. Vaak werd daarna het dode lichaam van de veroordeelde in een wagenwiel gevlochten om op het galgenveld tentoongesteld te worden als afschrikwekkend voorbeeld.<\/p>\n<p>De breekbank in de Gevangenpoort is oorspronkelijk afkomstig uit het \u2018Reghthuis\u2019 in Zeist. Bijzonder is dat ook de bijbehorende ijzeren knuppel bewaard is gebleven.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_font=&#8221;font-623990&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;571711&#8243;]Specificaties[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;170999&#8243;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vervaardiger: onbekend<\/li>\n<li>Datering: ca. 1650-1790<\/li>\n<li>Objectnummer: 081<\/li>\n<li>Materialen: hout, ijzer<\/li>\n<li>Afmetingen: 175 cm breed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;354896&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;80&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-623990&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1173,"parent":1175,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"collectie-categorie":[40],"class_list":["post-1198","collectie","type-collectie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","collectie-categorie-topstukken"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
