- “Tonight we will have a gallows built, and tomorrow, one by one, we will put an end to the Knights of Camelot.”
- — Morgana to Morgause[src]
Gallows are wooden structures used to hang criminals from as a form of execution. They typically consist of two upright posts with a crossbeam from which a rope is suspended.
