    Queen Elizabeth I. did *NOT* (or at least not with lasting effect) ban the practice of public executions by hanging, drawing & quartering in 1586. Both the co-conspirators of Guy Fawkes and, half a century later, the leading regicides were executed in that manner; as well as the catholic archbishop of Armagh, Anglo-Norman nobleman *Oliver Plunkett* , during the "Popish plot" in the late 1670s.

    The point about the English nobility rejecting Empress Matilda on the grounds of her gender is not really true. It was more likely her poor treatment of the barons in London at the time.
