Episode description
Remarkable Executions between 1718 and 1816
News of the Times Episode 388 | 1718-1816
What constitutes a remarkable execution in history? In Georgian times, it meant any kind of execution where the behaviour of the prisoner was unexpected or where something goes terribly terribly wrong with the execution/
We look at 6 execution cases which were labelled “remarkable “in their day. The cases include
the executioner who himself is executed
Calcraft’s first female execution
Attempts to cling on to life even as the bolt is drawn
And the noose that decapitated a head at the drop.
These stories and more in today’s episode of remarkable executions.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
