London's Bloodiest Executions | London's Dark History

hello beautiful

death for high treason was until 1998 now its life in prison

Don’t forget Rumpole.

I could be wrong but I think the name was Margaret Pole not Pope

Just think this went on not so long ago, in terms of human history it was just yesterday. Humans are so vile.

Again, this is a most muddling presentation. What a missed opportunity.

love your videos ..keep them coming please sinead,,i could listen to you all day ...

Let's not be too sentimental about the fate of Guy Fawkes and his friends, they were intent on regime change whatever the cost and they were fully aware of what would happen to them if they failed .In the years following rhe Reformation, Catholicism wasnt just another religion , catholics were committed to replacing the Protestant monarch at the express instruction of the Pope . They were a genuine national security threat .

I thought it was Reginald Pole, not Pope. De la Pole.

Margaret de la Pole was about 67 years old when executed, not 65.

i did not know about the rabbit warren but i did know about poaching having dabbled in my past

New a few sayings but didn't know about where the sayings came from for pulling your leg and hangers on came from. Great video.

Lots of errors in this video, incorrect names of the people executed and the place of Anne Boleyn trial was The Great Hall not Westminster Hall

Sinead, I was so intrigued by this video I had to wach it again. I'm surprised that theres not a bigger memorial of the tyburn Gallows instead of a sewer cover. It deserves the respect like the statue or something more. Thank you for such an in depth knowledge of London History that you have and share with us. Aussie Roger the Wombat !!!!!

I started watching your tours during Covid, starting with your Jack the Ripper tour. My teenage daughter got hooked on your videos as well (I'm from Newry so she says she loves your accent). So after learning so much from your tours, she made the decision to go to go university at Oxford. Her favorite thing to do on weekend is to train into London and try to follow your tours. I'm forever grateful to you for helping my daughter see that university abroad can be a great thing. She is even considering LSE for graduate school - she may never return to our home in Pennsylvania damn you.

This video was so interesting thank you soo much, your in-depth knowledge and clear language made it an easy and entertaining watch, I’m 40 now and I’ve never visited our great capital so videos like this is really interesting for someone like me, I probably leant more from 30 mins listening to you than I did back in history class all those years back 🤣🤦‍♂️ thanks again I’ll defo be watching more of your content, MASSIVE thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

The pub accross the way, the viaduct tavern, has the remnants of the womans ward of Newgate in its cellars. There is also a church close by which had a tunnel from the church to newgate, and there is a bell in the church which used to be rung on the day of execution.

Fascinating

Just like other countries in Europe in this time .

Love u! Interesting as hell, good work

The death penalty has been completely abolished for all offences when the UK agreed to the 13th protocol of the 1998 Human Rights Act on 10th Oct 2003.

Wow - u have to say --- u r so gorgeous ....

Jane Seymour is buried at Windsor not Tower or London. Henry VIii is buried with her

Great video. 👍
"inefficient policing and lack of prison space..." 🤔 Sadly this could be describing England in 2024!

Fantastic tour Sinead and so interesting. Thank you 🌟👍

“Remember Remember the 5th of November”

Jayne Seymour isn’t buried at the tower of London, she’s at St Georges,s chapel with Henry.

Imagine being executed for damaging a rabbit warren! The executioners must have been some very grim fellows----especially carrying out drawn-and-quartering people. I assume that if Jack the Ripper had been caught and convicted, he would have been put to dearh . Fascinating history, Sinead.

The MV memorial is where my Uncles name is recorded.. he never came home from WWII

Another Amazing video 🎉🎉🎉🎉tnx so much you Rock I've learnt so many new details and facts . Love the presentation of your channel a big fan . 🎉 Much love Toronto Canada. Originally from UK

and people today get away with murder how times have changed

Why is the moat green ?

Jane Seymour isn’t buried at the tower, she’s in St George’s chapel 💒
I think you meant Jane Grey

Many of these executions were for FIRST OFFENSES!!!!!

I worked around the site of William Wallace execution site and knew it was there but had no idear about the site where bloody Mary executioned all those people .Very interesting great tour.

High treason abolished in 1998 in 🇬🇧the (D.penalty)

Margaret del a Pole - not Pope, Countess of Salisbury. She was the cousin of Henry VIII's mother, Elizabeth of York.

Love the gory history 😮 and the graveyard s, sorry but that's me , sorry still sad😢🇬🇧

OMG,i live in Salisbury,is she buried in Salisbury cathedral?

Sinead was actually correct when she used 'hung, drawn & quartered'.

'Hanged' is specifically used when a person is put to death by hanging, but in the case of 'hanging, drawing & quartering', the person isn't being ended by the hanging part, so using 'hung' is correct in this situation.

grusome ..omg
