In prison, facing the horrors of 'drawing' (having his intestines removed while he was still alive), he took poison. 'I do take this course,' he wrote, 'because I would not have all the open shame of the world executed upon my body.' I'm A Celebrity's Jamie Lynn Spears reveals she used to cause chaos living at Disney world while growing up alongside Ryan Gosling Lily-Rose Depp is frozen with fear in FIRST look ofher upcoming horror film that follows a 'haunted woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her' Kelly Clarkson, 41, shows off her weight loss in a green-and-white dress as she interviews Mark Harmon who teases a Freaky Friday sequel

My favourites were probably the ones where we have records to show the families of the deceased making every effort to prove their child's innocence or bring their murderer to justice. My only disappointment was that almost all the cases were set in the south of England, and it would be great to see a second volume of stories from north of Watford!Adams recounts the tale from 1619 of Francis Marshall, a 70-year-old Essex farmer who killed himself in a fit of melancholy. Determined to make suicide look like murder, family members mutilated his body, beating and slashing it to persuade the local coroner's jury that he had been done to death by robbers. American Idol alum Jordin Sparks shows off her holiday cheer with sonDJ in matching pajamas as they lead celebs atCandy Cane Lane premiere in LA Vanessa Bauer oozes elegance in a baby pink gown as she joins Hollywood's finest A-listers including Timothee Chalamet and Rowan Atkinson at the Wonka afterparty Former TOWIE star Shelby Tribble, 30, reveals she's had a breast cancer scare and has had to have a biopsy after finding a lump

Executions were public proceedings which promised not only gore, but desperate confessions and the grandest, most righteous human drama. The Great British Bake Off final review: Nude baking, Noel? It's a surprise it's not been on Channel 4 already, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS This is a readable account of nine true crimes in early modern England in the Tudor period and walks us through all the ins and outs of how murders were committed, solved, punished and commemorated in the period, as well as what we can learn when we look at these crimes today: the way that we treat single mothers, or view suicide- a crime until the 1960s- although we've moved on in lots of ways, there are still things that our early modern ancestors would recognise, I think. Who won Great British Bake Off? Matty triumphs as he beats off competition from fellow finalists Dan and Josh to win 2023 series Arrested, tried and sentenced to death, Nathaniel became a repentant sinner.

Even after his death, however, the authorities were intent on humiliating him. His body was hauled to a scaffold at Tower Hill. Beneath the scaffold was a hole into which his corpse was thrown, and a huge iron stake was driven through it.

The case highlighting the treatment of unwed mothers who miscarried or delivered stillborn children was also heartbreaking, and feels sadly relevant to our current situation. Women who gave birth to even early term non-viable fetuses had to prove to the court that they had made a good faith effort to save their baby, otherwise it would be considered an intentional abortion. It's no surprise that many women hid the results of these pregnancies, even when no foul play was committed. While these attitudes didn't surprise me, I hadn't realized just how involved the courts got in these matters, and that many women were actually put to death for what were likely natural or unpreventable losses. Bradley Cooper says he almost quit making Maestro prior after chance meeting on a plane with a woman who claimed to be Leonard Bernstein's goddaughter The Palace were expecting a hatchet job, but the sheer maliciousness of the claims in Omid Scobie's book has left them all reeling, writes REBECCA ENGLISH
