Slight quibble: being quartered means having your top half separated from your bottom half and your left half separated from your right half. The “drawn” part means you’re dragged around the city first. Otherwise you’re 100% correct.
To be honest I always had the imagery of horses doing the work, so the “quarters” would be three limbs and a remaining limb still attached to the rest of your body.

To quibble your quibble…
If you are drawn and quartered, wont technically, also, your top half be separated from your bottom half, and incidentally, your left from your right?

Calm down, calm down. We can compromise like reasonable people here: meet in the middle by ripping him into three pieces.
