 Q #  Question 
390
Is there an instance in which a woman, slave or free, is beheaded? I know it is threatened to Lady Rowena before she allows herself to be enslaved, but that is all I could find. A disposable woman deserves her head mounted on a pike after all.

Answer

Turns out, yes there is an instance in which a woman, slave or free, is beheaded.

She had died of poison in the women's quarters, for which crime Lord Yamada had chosen ten women by lot, and had them beheaded.

These are all the other times I could find where beheading was threatened.

Sometimes, however, the free woman in a captured city is not, say, simply stripped, thrown down and tied, later to be turned over to an iron master for the searing kiss of his white-hot metal. Sometimes, rather, she, stripped, and presented before officers, is offered the choice between swift, honorable decapitation and slavery. If she chooses slavery, she may be expected to step onto a submission mat, and kneel there, head down, enter a slave pen of her own accord, or, say, fully acknowledging herself a slave, belly to an officer, kissing his feet.

"What are you going to do!" she screamed.

"Behead you," said Samos.

"Why!" she cried.

"There is no place in my holding for a free woman," he said.

"Enslave me!" she cried.

"I cannot believe my ears," he said, skeptically.

"Enslave me!" she cried. "Enslave me!"

The fellow with the blade lowered it a bit, and looked at Samos.

"Is this the proud Lady Rowena of Lydius who speaks?" inquired Samos.

"False Ubara!" screamed Claudia, held on her knees.

Talena made an angry sign and a guardsman withdrew his blade from its sheath. In a moment Claudia's head was held down and forward by another guardsman.

"She is to be beheaded!" said a man.
Magicians of Gor     Book 25     Page 150


The free woman may be beheaded or impaled; the slave, an animal, will be preserved and protected, to be distributed or sold.
