England's crime historical facts

Some fun facts I learned in Lectures.

In Medieval times if women were suspected and caught for Witchcraft the punishment was imprisonment and NOT BURNED!

People who were caught trying to commit suicide, they were arrested, tried and HUNG FOR TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE 🤦 And if they were caught trying to slit their throat??? Same process only, they got beheaded whilst on the noose, due to the previous self harm of slitting the throat attempt 🤦 🤦

I wonder what Henry ninth would have in store for us and his Queen Meghan should they ever come to power!

@ArishMell but I don’t think Harry knows that.

@sunriselover Oh, I expect he does.

I have the impression that what the couple do not know, is what they want.

Members of the Royal Family but actually living a fairly quiet, ordinary life while working in real ways; or [i]OK![/i]-magazine type "celebrities" living an unreal life of shallow pointlessness.
