The Blinded and Castrated Eilward of Westoning

Set of 6 panels from Window nIII

Window: nIII, Panel: 19

The third scene is bloodcurdling. Eilward lies on the ground in the seconds before he is blinded and castrated for theft. A seated judge points at a man who is about to blind Eilward with a pointed stake. This man straddles a large green plank placed across Eilward's chest to hold him down. To the right, the man about to castrate Eilward holds up a knife and reaches for Eilward's privates. In the middle of the panel, a man holds onto the ropes binding Eilward's hands, and in the background are four witnesses who look on in horror.
