Why would you want to commemorate that?

Out and about again, and I've just passed a pub whose name made me think of the question above. The name of the establishment was 'The Hung, Drawn & Quartered'. I know it's easy to be anachronistic, and judge medieval practices by modern standards, but I still wonder why anyone would want to name a place of conviviality after one of the most appallingly barbarous methods of execution of all time.

Love & best wishes to all
Sammy B
