Episode description
Aristocratic Chronicles: Two Tales of Murderous Philips
News of the Times Episode 297 | 1678 & 1688
In today’s episode we look at two murderous cases, within aristocratic circles, involving protagonists named Philip.
In our first case of 1678, Charles II - the party king - is the reigning monarch. Philip, The 7th earl of Pembroke seems to have inherited his father's notorious quick and violent temper. Having just been released from the Tower of London, he visits a pub where he casually meets two others. Upset by a cutting remark made to him, he kicks his victim to death. It is quite possible; this was the first of three murders to take place as his hands.
Our second case from 1688 involves the eldest son of Sir James Stansfield referred to as a dissolute drunkard and who regularly racks up thousands of pounds of debt. His despisal for his father is very well known and exacerbated by his father recently cutting him out of his will. Rumours are spread about the insanity of Sir James by his now disinherited son. And then Sir James is found dead in the garden pond.
A look at two murderous aristocratic Philips is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
