    Tudor Torture & Execution
    Apr 11 2025

    Treason. Torture. Execution. In this dark journey through Tudor England, we uncover the brutal machinery behind royal justice. From the rack to the axe, from Tower Green to Tyburn Tree—this episode explores how the Crown used pain as power, and fear as law.

    You’ll hear the stories of Anne Askew, Lady Jane Grey, Thomas Cranmer, and others who met their fate beneath the sword or in the flames. We’ll walk the blood-soaked paths of the Tower of London, Smithfield, and Oxford—and reveal how some voices, silenced in life, refused to be forgotten.

    This is not just history—it’s a warning. Heads Will Roll… and not always the ones you expect.

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