Honestly, that’s not so bad for Mary, who was probably dead from the first blow. The worst botched executions are the ones that are torturous for the executed. Look up Wllie Francis. He was 17 and accused of murdering his boss. The chair wasn’t set up properly, so he got horrible shocks but wasn’t killed. He was able to scream for them to turn it off.

I’m not going to pretend that assassination plots and slimy conspiracies weren’t and aren’t commonplace in politics back then and today, but, she sort of had it coming.
This is why Anne Boleyn's request for her execution was that it be performed by a master swordsman. It's very telling that Anne's daughter didn't automatically offer her cousin the same courtesy.
Most condemned weren't given such an offer. Anne herself specifically sent the request to the king. She was supposed to have died on May 17th, along with the others condemned with her, but her execution was pushed back 2 days to await the executioner's arrival from Calais.

It was likely a test of loyalty. Considering context, it's likely he didn't have a significant relationship with his mother. The likely outcome of him going to get her was either forced to watch her execution and be on a watch list or even be executed together for treason.
He probably had no mother son love. The royals usually were only seen by parents for short time periods, they were brought up by staff. They got rid of each other with a kinda of alarming regularity. What happened to those 2 young princes? Why didn't anyone care?
@@LJBSullivan People definitely did care about the princes in the tower, though. It also wasn’t at all a given that children wouldn’t spend plenty of time with their parents growing up. Not everyone was just sent away the way Elizabeth or Mary were (for very different reasons). As for James, I guess we’ll never know how Mary would have raised him had she been allowed to see him at all past the age of 1.
Actually there was 2 executioners but about 12 days before her execution the professional had to go attend a funeral ironic right and would be away for 2 weeks and his apprentice had to do it and that they didnt mention is that the axe he used was dull and tried sharpening it after hitting her head making people say he was cruel and to get get it over with others did tell him to keep going and let her suffer but the queen said to kill her
These were the comments I was looking for. There were far worse executions from that time period. Wasn't it Lady Salisbury who basically had her shoulder partially severed and several blows landed on her back or shoulders before she died.
I think the most botched and gruesome execution of all time was Lady Margaret Pole - the last Plantagenet Princess and the last York heir to the English throne. She was aunt to the very evil King Henry VIII. She was in her 60’s & the executioner chased her around the scaffolding with the axe as she screamed and begged for her life. He hacked away at her until she he’d killed her. I believe he hacked her 8 or 9 times. So sick and evil. 💔
Margaret is my 17th great-grandmother, which I know in retrospect is not worth much but nonetheless the story of her execution will always be chilling. Her life, as the daughter of the Duke of Clarence, was also an especially sad one, living through the execution of her son Henry (my 16th great-grandfather) in 1539.
If you think this is the worst medieval execution you have a lot to learn about medieval execution methods. Just look up on wikipedia what drawing and quartering or breaking at the wheel typically involved, not to mention the classic being burned at the stake. A botched beheading like that is a picnic in comparison.
Okay, but I actually made myself an expert on all things Queen Mary so I’m excited to see a post about her! Another thing worth noting about how her execution went so horribly is because the axe wasn’t sharpened. Traditionally, if you were a noble person being executed, a family member would make sure or pay for the axe to be cleaned and sharpened. Unfortunately it was her cousin executing her so she didn’t really care whether the axe was sharpened or not. Another “fun” fact is Mary was reciting prayers the entire time so when her head was off her body and the executioner held it up for everyone to see, her mouth was still moving.

A Danish executioner used 6 strikes to decapitate a woman, she was still screaming after the 4th strike, and rattling and moving on the 5th strike, after the 6th strike, The enraged mob looking on, tore the executioner apart.
To finish the story: The lapdog of Mary, Queen of Scotts, later died of sorrow. As historian Simon Schama describes: "The first, but not the last to mourn the Queen". Her son: King James, outlived the gunpowder plot, after probably being wise to history, of his own father almsot being blown up, only to be strangled outside the building meant to be blown up. King James gave name to the most popular bible translation among protestants, despite his mother being a Catholic martyr and his wife being a Catholic, and one might one think what kind of religion he felt the most close to his own heart.
Since this is apparently not common knowledge, Catholics are Christians, hence both Catholics and Protestants are part of the same religion known as Christianity (even if they go to different churches).
James was estranged from his mother for most of his formative years and was tutored by George Buchanan, a staunch Presbyterian. You have to bear in mind, Mary had her husband (James' father) murdered. I don't think he cared much for his mother or her faith.

@@eoghan-uk9yiThis is quite a way to phrase it. Notably even the English failed to reach a conclusion as to Mary's role in the murder of Danley. And Mary was arrested when James was 1, after which she wasn't allowed to communicate with him. Elizabeth disallowed Mary contact with James.

yeahh, lets not think about the human that cruely had their life taken from them. Nah... lets just be sad over a dog which was given emotional damage. Humans and their misplaced empathy.
I mean regardless, that dog had no concept of royal treason or the fact that Mary raised an army to try to do so, all the dog knew was their owner. Dogs are very loyal and seeing his/her owner laying dead would be a horrific sight even if the dog may not completely understand fully what had happened the owner is still unresponsive. And sure the dog probably forgot all about it later on (if the story of the dog dying of heartbreak isn't true) but still give the damn dog some sympathy lol!
I was just reading up on British history and there were multiple times that an executioner (usually new to the job) would botch the job. What a terrible way to go.
See, even back then women got stiffed -- the executioner gave a half'assed effort with a wonky axe --- then stripped her wig off of her lifeless, partly bald, grey AF mellon & probably Let it Roll off the stage so the town's kids could play soccer with it...
She is a tragic figure in Tudor times. Saw her father killed, her Uncle and grandfather killed (not personally) then to live through Henry Viii time just to be butchered for the “crimes” of her son.
Thomas Cromwell, during King Henry 8th, had, by some accounts, a much, much worse execution, where the executioner had gotten drunk the night before the morning of the execution, and the blade of the axe first landed into his back, not the back of the head as with Mary, Queen of Scots.

Even more disturbing is the fact that you are still awake and can see, hear, smell and think for up to two minutes after being beheaded. She experienced all of this until her brain died from oxygen deprival.

Last beheading in Denmark was similar because the executioner and the "pack" (rakkerpak) went drinking heavily the night before ... hitting him 2-3 times in the shoulder first before he was beheaded. Crowd didnt like that at all ...
You know Elizabeth slipped a couple extra shillings to the headsman and told him, to "Oi, ave a couple a pints on me, before the execution, you know? To steady the hand and guide one's axe true. We wouldn't want a sloppy toppen now would we? 😉"
Why was that? Do you know more to the story you want to share? However, Logic would dictate that she would do so for comfort and courage in her perilous and grievous fate.
From what I’ve heard from other RUclipsrs discussing this, what seems like, popular topic in media is that none of this information is for certain and there have been varying accounts of the incident
She felt all that pain including her head hitting the floor. She likely even heard her dog. She didn't deserve any of it. Her real crime was to try to get away from her cousin who had imprisoned her.
Most aristocrats shaved their heads because of lice/fleas. As long as her brain was getting blood, she was still conscious. They say she continued moving her lips after her head was removed. It takes the brain four to ten minutes to quit functioning after death. She also wore a red petticoat as a protest. I don't remember why.

Like we could call you a 'dumbass', and that is different than a 'Dumb Ass'.
Language is fun
@@eoghan-uk9yiThis is quite a way to phrase it.
Notably even the English failed to reach a conclusion as to Mary's role in the murder of Danley. And Mary was arrested when James was 1, after which she wasn't allowed to communicate with him. Elizabeth disallowed Mary contact with James.
Margaret Pole’s execution was even more horrendous under Henry VIII
just looked that up due to your post, bloody hell, what a ghastly scene. How on earth that plank ended up being the executioner is anyone's guess, other than perhaps noone wanted to do it as she had some support and sympathy and this degenerate oaf took the job for the money
Exactly I was waiting for somone to mention Margaret, she had the worst one
I knew I wouldn't have to scroll down too far for this one.. that was horrific.

Clearly, he had no pride in his work.
Brazen Bull might have something to say about this being the worst execution. I mean dude who invented it got shoved in for a mere demonstration
Truly disturbing reading
The title is botched not worst. Many worst forms of execution than beheading and the Brazen Bull is definitely one of them.
I think I remember reading the worst form of torture in response to something they didn't like you doing was feeding you milk and honey and watching the bugs eat you from outside in for days,weeks.
@@joelangford4975that one is a bit too fancy with no historical record to back it up… it is useless aswell… first the boat could go ashore or he could break it and free himself .. he could be freed by friends waiting for his boat there is no physiological effect on people cause the boat will just go away and that is what is the aim of public execution .. there can be many worse things like being boiled alive so I doubt that thing was real
@@queenquinnvaI mean it was kinda botched he was pulled out why he was still alive after being severely burned and I think thrown off a cliff or something? Because even the guy who threw him in their was disturbed by the screams I said I think I don't remember 100% of it ik he was alive when he was pulled out midway through being burned to death but I don't remember all of it
Oh my heart broke hearing about the dog. How tragic.
yeahh, lets not think about the human that cruely had their life taken from them. Nah... lets just be sad over a dog which was given emotional damage.
Humans and their misplaced empathy.
@@ushiki2212i mean she did agree to kill her own cousin , elizabeth I , numerous times and so its not like she was completely innocent or anything
@@ushiki2212idgaf about some blue blooded “royalty”
I mean regardless, that dog had no concept of royal treason or the fact that Mary raised an army to try to do so, all the dog knew was their owner. Dogs are very loyal and seeing his/her owner laying dead would be a horrific sight even if the dog may not completely understand fully what had happened the owner is still unresponsive. And sure the dog probably forgot all about it later on (if the story of the dog dying of heartbreak isn't true) but still give the damn dog some sympathy lol!
@@ushiki2212 also if you watch a documentary or read any information about Mary you kind of will realize she had it coming.
I was just reading up on British history and there were multiple times that an executioner (usually new to the job) would botch the job. What a terrible way to go.
Wife: how was your day at work
Executioner: It wasn't the best
That dog probably scared the hell out of everyone.
Margaret (Plantagenet) Pole was another terrible “public” execution.
Thank you! Came here to talk about her too.
See, even back then women got stiffed -- the executioner gave a half'assed effort with a wonky axe --- then stripped her wig off of her lifeless, partly bald, grey AF mellon & probably Let it Roll off the stage so the town's kids could play soccer with it...
Indeed😔
She is a tragic figure in Tudor times. Saw her father killed, her Uncle and grandfather killed (not personally) then to live through Henry Viii time just to be butchered for the “crimes” of her son.
@@Angl0sax0nknight not to mention her poor brother too. She was plagued by tragedy before she met her own horrific end. Truly a strong woman.
Margaret pole had the worst. She was chased all across the platform. Was so gruesome that the catholic church deemed her a martyr
😳Damn, that’s some Monty Python shit there.
I don't think I have the words to properly express how I feel about this. Also, poor dog.
😮
I thank you for having the sane order in reactions not like the rest I see here.
This wasn't the exception to executions in the old days but the norm. Most of the time the beheading took more than one swing. Unlike the movies
why my eyes are filled with tears after listening to this😭
U probably soft asf
Executioner if he was in 21st century: Whoopsie, I'm such a scorpio, my bad
I remember reading that people were even asking if they had the authority to execute a monarch.
A reigning monarch would have the power to pardon themselves. It didn't help Charles I or Louis XVI.
@@sirstephen9825really didn’t 😭
Bringing your dog to an execution is wild
Dude had 1 job. GeeZus christ 🤦🏾♂️
“Oh F*** I messed up”
“Time to redo it again, 78 times after” 💀
Thomas Cromwell, during King Henry 8th, had, by some accounts, a much, much worse execution, where the executioner had gotten drunk the night before the morning of the execution, and the blade of the axe first landed into his back, not the back of the head as with Mary, Queen of Scots.
Lady Jane grey will always get me, that poor girl didn't deserve that.
Didnt she treid to rob the throne
@@alexlehrersh9951parliament basically gave her the throne it was cut short it was meant to be her heirs but edward was dying so they gave it to her with no preparations she was then imprisoned and killed later because her father was making major contreversy I think war
Damn queen Elizabeth been around since 1500😂😂😂
Even more disturbing is the fact that you are still awake and can see, hear, smell and think for up to two minutes after being beheaded.
She experienced all of this until her brain died from oxygen deprival.
That was what I was thinking. Such humilation.
@@lightborn9071 Not so much humiliation as absolute horrorshow.
I can't imagine how painful that was for Mary and her beloved poor dog (which was believed to either be a skye terrier or Scottish terrier )

Moral of the story: don't be drunk at work
No one deserves such agony but Mary really did some atrocities, it's not like she was just a tragic victim
What did she do?
@@LilithsCosmicLounge he executed thousands of protestants to make england catholic
@@LilithsCosmicLoungeshe tried to retake the English throne from Elizabeth since Mary was the eldest, in response to the atrocious acts against her people and the Catholics, she remade those atrocities to the protestants and Elizabeth, taking an eye for an eye to a really high level...
Agony? She died on the first swing I doubt she even felt it
@@nolanbrett204 I think you're confusing Mary Queen of Scots(The one mentioned in the video and Elizabeth's cousin) and Queen Mary Tudor(Bloody Mary), which is Elizabeth's older sister.
"Thats not how my wig goes "
Holy hell. She might not even have been guilty of the charges.
I’m just sad for the dog
The dog wasn't beheaded
Weird
That's weird
Same
@@dshe8637never said he was. They were sad he had to see that happen to her.
That entire debacle sounds like a Monty Python sketch!
I just imagine the crowd standing in horror as the executioner is just like “ah shoot, sorry I am a little rusty”
"Most botched beheading"
Mexican narcos: "Hold this head"
Last beheading in Denmark was similar because the executioner and the "pack" (rakkerpak) went drinking heavily the night before ... hitting him 2-3 times in the shoulder first before he was beheaded.
Crowd didnt like that at all ...
You know Elizabeth slipped a couple extra shillings to the headsman and told him, to "Oi, ave a couple a pints on me, before the execution, you know? To steady the hand and guide one's axe true. We wouldn't want a sloppy toppen now would we? 😉"
What an absolutely underrated comment! It most definitely needs more likes, mate!
No wonder why they called her bloody Mary her execution must have been a mess
Ur thinking of the wrong Mary lol
And i thought i had a bad day at work yesterday with all the paperwork i had.
Queen Jane of England had a bad time, too.
Jane Grey?
@@ender_vibes591 Yes
Let us forever ignore why she would have a small dog under her dress on her way to be executed.
Hey diddle diddle with your doggy in the middle
Why was that? Do you know more to the story you want to share? However, Logic would dictate that she would do so for comfort and courage in her perilous and grievous fate.
@@V1NL0
She’d also risk her dog getting killed??
The dog was in her dress not in her neck @@littlefishbigmountain
@@pandibbarman
If an angry mob is brutally murdering you, don’t assume they’re gonna spare you’re dog…
Hate when that happens.
From what I’ve heard from other RUclipsrs discussing this, what seems like, popular topic in media is that none of this information is for certain and there have been varying accounts of the incident
She felt all that pain including her head hitting the floor. She likely even heard her dog. She didn't deserve any of it. Her real crime was to try to get away from her cousin who had imprisoned her.
Ain’t no way she felt anything after the first botched axe swing lmao
Are you on crack?
@@josephiorio7376a decapitated head can stay conscious for 6 seconds (I think).
I thinks it's more like 24 or 25 not sure either 😅@@Cryodrakon2
@@Cryodrakon2sure, but the first swing went straight into her head. most likely she was dead as soon as it went in.
Oh man, I remember when that happened. It was crazy.
I personally don't remember much from before I turned negative 300.

It was customary for the person being executed to pay the executioner so they'd be more careful and this type of "accident" would not happen.
Wow can u imagine paying for your own execution.

The best novel I've read of Queen Mary of Scott's is from the point of view of the female jester. It's called "The Queen's Own Fool" by Jane Yolen.
Executioner: fuck it, im taking my day off
GCSE History Students:
I know
Mary's ghost is going to be demanding her money back from the execution.
You think you're having a bad day at work. That executioner definitely had a talking too.
The dog got that "heavenly pleasure" moment💀💀💀💀
I was expecting the narrator to say the executioner hit the arm of the guy holding her head. LOL
Sheesh...talking bout a bad day 😮
Definitely a bad hair day anyway.

JoJo reference or real people?
"It is but a flesh wound!"
I have heard that the worst executioner was picked on purpose to make the message loud and clear.
Damn, the barber fucked up
It breaks my heart knowing she had her puppy with her until the end. It actually makes my blood boil.
You missed the chance to say "my blood Boylen."
1500s in a nutshell
You just know there was the boss guy angrily saying to the executioner; “Do something you idiot, or it’ll be your head next!”
Most aristocrats shaved their heads because of lice/fleas. As long as her brain was getting blood, she was still conscious. They say she continued moving her lips after her head was removed. It takes the brain four to ten minutes to quit functioning after death. She also wore a red petticoat as a protest. I don't remember why.
Makes you wonder if they just made all of that up just to humiliate her further.
Social media ain't got nothing on word of mouth.
