The BRUTAL And BOTCHED Execution Of Lord Russell

I read somewhere that Mary Queen of Scots was brutally executed with a blunt hatchet courtesy of Elisabeth l due to Mary's reckless actions that threatened Elisabeth's throne.Jack Catch sounds like an idiot who should have never be allowed to wield an axe.

If I had had the nerve to be an executioner back then, I think I would have found a quiet place way out in the country to practice on butchering duck, geese, watermelons etc on the block. I heard he drank quite a bit and was fired at one time?

lord Russell is my 9th great grandfather... thanks for the video

Popish plot lol are you presenting this nonsense as fact . What persecution of Protestants given the penal laws it’s the other way round and your popish plot Titus Oates resulted in decades of repression and terror for the Catholics off English . Stuff drivel and utter nonsense you ill informed ejit

If I had the luck to be born a nobleman at that time I wouldn’t risk my cushy life. I don’t know why someone would risk their life over religious matters.

Not even CLOSE to the most brutal execution in English history

These dudes got more hair than Micheal Landon

The crowd were placing bets... how many chops it would take to finally sever the head, and Ketch was in on it.

How could he see his neck,with such long hair?

It blows my mind that people use to gather to watch someone's head be cut off. It's such a violent act. What really blows my mind is that there are some terrorist groups in the world who still do it.

Hi I'm new have bee binge watching all your posts ...so interesting love it 😀. Angie

Imagine your profession was to cut people's heads off. What a life that must've been.

Is that why tomato sauce is called ketchup? Just asking for a friend . . .

How many mistakes did you spot? 🤔

Also, you were supposed to take the head off with one blow, but you could get a mulligan.

Don't kvetch about the ketch. He tried his best which was ketch-as-ketch-can.

How was his plot to catch the King and his Catholic relative revealed? Who betrayed him?

joseph-ignace Guillotin promoted a angled falling heavy blade as the most expedient and painless way of dispatching criminal
it was adopted by the revolution and extensively used , including on Guillotin himself.
the executioner had the tittle of "executor of the high works of justice" and would come to the jail with his blade in a special suitcase ,
the frame was supplied by the local jail , excepted in the Guyana penal colony where the "wood of justice" and its blade stood days in days out , ready

Botched execution 👀
Oh hell no.

Popish Plot was literally a hoax.

Can't trust a King named Charles....oh no.

I came for the details of a botched execution and got a history lesson. Interesting none the less.

Similar to Spiro Agnew with a golf club .

It still couldn't have been as brutal as what the executioner did to poor Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury more than a century earlier, who never should have been executed in the first place....

They needed to learn how to sharpen the axe.

Must have smarted a bit after the first chop.

Lord Russel should have left for France, while could. There was no political support for his cause.

It should be noted that just before his execution Monmouth gave Ketch six guineas and implored, “Here . . . and do not hack me as you did my Lord Russell. I have heard you struck him four or five times.”

So l know where the modern term hacker comes from.

We could do with executing a few politicians today: the thieving, lying traitors....

And he wasn’t dismissed after this butchery??? 😱🤦🏼‍♀️

You had me at botched. LMFAO bloody hell thanks. Philadelphia USA

Jack Ketch just couldn’t cut it so his boss gave him the axe.

sounds like Jack Ketch didnt have the head for it !!

I was there for this execution. This is an accurate re-telling.
