  • More Heads Will Roll: Executions Pt 2
    Apr 21 2025

    You thought the scaffold was silent after last time? Think again.

    In this follow-up to Heads Will Roll, we return to the blood-soaked stage of Tudor justice—where fear was policy and death was performance. This time, we uncover the executions you weren’t taught in school. Forgotten figures. Suppressed trials. Brutal ends that slipped through the cracks of history.

    From abbots hung on the heights of Glastonbury… to rebels, servants, and traitors whose stories were nearly erased—we bring them back.

    These were more than punishments. They were messages. And in Tudor England… messages were carved in flesh.

    🎧 The Lion and the Rose Keep your sword sharp—and your history sharper.
