Single word request: to be burned at the stake [duplicate]

To be burned at the stake
If we can't come up with a verb, perhaps a corresponding noun or adjective would suffice.
15th century historical fiction, so modern terms such as marshmallowed wouldn't really help.
Here is my sample:
You, the accused, have been found guilty of practicing Judaism as a Christian. This heresy against our Lord Savior carries the penalty of ____(noun).
Or
[C]onvicted of heresy, you are to be ____(verb).
Solution 1:
There is immolate:
to kill or destroy (someone or something) by fire
You also have the noun immolation and the adjective immolated. Now the thing is it doesn't have to be at a stake. It could be, say, in a cage.
The word has been around since the 15th century.
Solution 2:
How about incinerate?
To cause to burn to ashes. FOD
Can anyone empathize with the bigot putting a torch to the stake where the condemned heretic will be incinerated? The Past is a Foreign Country
