对划线后的on pain of death所充当的成分和与前面的结构关系，还有划线末尾的逗号，实在想不清楚，请想得明白的同仁指教。//bow

on pain of death, 修饰前面整个句子. 这个可以当成习惯用法来记.

逗号应该没有关系. 见大全另外一例:

Among the cossacks, vegetable farming was once so despised that it was forbidden on pain of death.

to rhod,

it is impossible for on pain of death to modify the previous sentence. This is used to modify which no commoner or foreigner could enter without permission,

paopao, you're right. :-)
