That of the three others was already finished, and soon his was also at an end, and it only remained to pronounce sentence on all four.

Catinat and Ravanel, as the most guilty, were condemned to be burnt at the stake.

Some of the councillors thought Catinat should have been torn apart by four horses, but the majority were for the stake, the agony lasting longer, being more violent and more exquisite than in the of other case.
Villars and Jonquet were sentenced to be broken on the wheel alive--the only difference between them being that Jonquet was to be to taken while still living and thrown into the fire lit round Catinat and Ravael.

It was also ordered that the four condemned men before their execution should be put to the torture ordinary and extraordinary.

Catinat, whose temper was fierce, suffered with courage, but cursed his torturers.
Ravanel bore all the torments that could be inflicted on him with a fortitude that was more than human, so that the torturers were exhausted before he was.
