    Fun facts about medieval executioners:
    They were paid by looting the body of the condemned (below the neck).
    They could perform weddings.
    They were required to stand at the back of the church.
    They were often poor and shop owners were known to give them food/goods as charity

    There was an executioner from Naples I have read about who was famous for making the execution as painless as possible. His family had used this tradition for generations before him. He would take a ball made of steel, and spin it while putting it against the convict’s back. This would end up putting them at ease, and making sure that it was the best death possible for them. He unfortunately ended up dying in an accident involving a horse, with the only other person to know the technique dying of disease shortly after, meaning this spin technique is lost forever.

Anyone who has ever fired a live round from a rifle of a caliber used in a firing squad would have no doubt about whether the round they fired during an execution was blank or live. The difference experienced by the rifleman is unmistakable.

If they didn’t want to be on death row they shouldn’t have done the crime.

    Mark my words, my soul lives on
    Don't worry now that I have gone
    I've gone beyond to seek the truth

    In Florida when an execution is scheduled, the warden makes a selection from one of seven approved executioners, the list is not written down, it's kept in the wardens head, and no executioner is used twice in a row, a rendezvous is arraigned, and a prison van that is curtained off, so that the driver can't see who he's picking up is sent to transport them, the selected executioner, gets in the van, and dons a black hooded robe,that conceals their identity, and is taken to the prison where they do their task, after they do they are paid in cash, so that there is no public record of their identity, and they are taken back to where they were picked up, they take off the robe, and slip out the back of the van, so that the driver, never sees their face, the warden only knows their name, and their phone number,but otherwise cannot identify them, and the list is passed from warden to warden verbally, again so that there is no public record of their identity, but it's believed that all are members of law enforcement.

    Commenters; allow me to ask you a question. Were you an executioner, would you prefer to know the details of crimes committed by the prisoners you execute, or know nothing and just get it over with?
    On one hand, knowing of their crimes may instill you with some sort of twisted sense of justice, whereas not knowing would make it easier to emotionally distance yourself from the act of killing. What do you guys think?

    The most famous and prolific american executioner was Robert G Elliot, over his 40 years of service he executed over 600 people in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont.
    Because of his preference for elegantly tailored suits and his relaxed professional demeanor he became known as "The Gentleman Executioner Of New York State".

    Exceptions.
    Katherine Howard, 19,fifth wife of Henry the Eighth wrongfully sentenced to death for having an affair which did not happen. She practiced in her cell for hours before the date of her execution laying her head on the chopping block. When the time came she shakily walked up to the chopping block, lay her head down on it and started praying. At 19, an executioner swing his axe trying to hit her neck, but ended up hitting her back, taking the axe up and then chopping her head off.
    Anne Boleyn was granted a skilled French Swordsman for her death. What about Katherine?
