Anatomy of an Execution -- Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex

A short video regarding the Execution of the Earl of Essex in 1601. This video shows how the great ceremonial Execution Axe and Scaffold would have been made, in preparation for an exhibition at the Tower. It also explains where Essex would have been executed within the Tower walls. The video includes a newly found document detailing the Earls Execution. I own nothing, no copyright infringement intended! Hope you enjoy!

What a waste of oak wood. In a time of conservation was this use of raw materials really necessary?. Still, this is a fascinating programme.

Execution must remain illegal.

ABOLISH DEATH WORLDWIDE
