Consistently Eccentric History

Mr Cratwell and Stump-leg - willing to execute even the weirdest of commands


Listen Later

This week I am joined by Ang and Mel from 'Dissecting Medical History' to talk about a pair of executioners working in London at the time of Henry VIII.


Needless to say they were never short of work, or variety, from a monarch who sent tens of thousands of people to their deaths during his 36 year reign. What kind of impact does a lifetime of torturing and killing have on the human mind? Well, needless to say that neither man died peacefully in their bed.
