Can't imagine them hanging there for very long, if at all, solely supported
by this means.
Perhaps you have reason to know differently?

"A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century"

Barbara W. Tuchman

Part 1 Chapter One

Page 17

"As his mother's heir to the territories of Marie and La Fere, Thomas added
them to the Coucy domain to which he succeeded in 1116. Untamed, he pursued
a career of enmity and brigandage, directed in varying combinations against
Church, town, and King, "the Devil aiding him," according to Abbot Suger.

He seized manors from convents, tortured prisoners (reportedly hanging men
up by their testicles until these tore off from the weight of the body),

personally cut the throats of thirty rebellious bourgeois, transformed his
castles into "a nest of dragons and a cave of thieves," and was
excommunicated by the Church, which ungirdled him-in absentia-of the
knightly belt and ordered the anathema to be read against him every Sunday
in every parish in Picardy."

Those were the days.....! Oh!!! sad to be born too late....!

Hope this helps.

No mention of how long this took is there?

Quoting passages of doubtful veracity does not provide evidence.

As previously quoted, "unless you know otherwise". Do you?
