I remember hearing Dan Carlin in hardcore history tell a particularly gruesome Mongol story about Noble killings. The Mongols captured a large number of enemies, so they tied the lot up, laid them down on the ground, and then set up a large tent/yurt over the Nobles. It supposedly even had a wooden floor too. Then they proceeded to have a massive party, filled with drinking and dancing, on top of the prisoners, who were slowly crushed to death.
