The sentence was for High Treason in the Middle Ages. Hung meant hung till almost dead.
Drawn meant disembowelling (removal of organs, viscera etc while still alive) Quartered meant chopping the body if still alive or corpse if dead, into four parts and dispaying it in different parts of London including the Tower Bridge.
