These Bloody Days...

The road from the gilded Hampton Court Palace to the scaffold could be shorter than expected, and to many of the Tudor-family's contemporaries this was far too true. This is a complete list of the people executed by all five Tudor-monarchs - of course, this does not include the countless men and women whose names are forgotten to history due to their social status (this could be peasants or even the bourgeois).
