SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Treason & Tragedy: Death on Tower Hill
DESCRIPTION:Paul Delaroche\, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey\, 1834. The National Gallery\, London. The 9-day Queen was executed inside the Tower on Tower Green. \nWhile the Tower of London may be infamous for its executions\, the majority of beheadings actually took place just beyond its walls\, on Tower Hill—a site steeped in political turmoil\, betrayal\, and bloody justice. In this gripping tour\, Rob Smith will unravel the dramatic stories of those who met their fate on this notorious execution ground. Tower Hill became the final stage for some of the most high-profile figures in British history\, many of whom had once wielded great power\, who found themselves condemned as traitors. We will explore the fate of Simon of Sudbury\, the Archbishop of Canterbury\, who was dragged from the Tower and beheaded by enraged Poll Tax rebels in 1381. Another infamous figure to fall on Tower Hill was Thomas Cromwell\, Henry VIII’s once-trusted advisor and architect of the English Reformation. The site also witnessed the beheading of Lord Lovat (Simon Fraser) in 1747—the last man to be publicly executed on Tower Hill. His execution\, witnessed by a large crowd\, marked the end of an era. This virtual tour will bring to life the gripping stories of those who faced the executioner’s axe—tales of ambition\, treachery\, courage\, and vengeance—while also exploring the historical significance of Tower Hill. Hear about the shadowy events that shaped British history. \nTickets: $30 members*; $40 non-members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account
