Stories of Murdered Mistresses
News of the Times Episode 310 | 1775 & 1851
Our first story takes place in 1775. The young orphan that was brought into the household of well-respected ex-soldier John Bolton had developed into a beauty. Bolton takes advantage of his position and engages in an intimacy with her. And then she becomes pregnant. The case took on the highest alert possible at that time.
Our second case from 1850 was a love match between two youngsters of different social class backgrounds, both respected. Despite the social class differences, an intimacy develops, and the young woman becomes pregnant. Very pregnant, and it would seme the majority of the village is aware of it. The young gentleman is set to marry a woman of his own class, as decided by his family, who also brings wealth. The sticking point is his pregnant mistress.
Two cases of murdered mistresses is today‘s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
