I've decided to do a series of called "Tudor True Crime" on my YouTube channel, where I'm going to delve into 16th century crimes and look at what exactly happened, and the consequences.
My very first Tudor trie crime is the murder of Thomas Arden of Faversham in 1551, a story which featured, poisoned milk, a pressing iron, a knife, and a group of people determined to finish him off. It really is darker than fiction!
And one of the killers was his own wife, Alice Arden.
In my video, I uncover:
- How a snow-covered trail led back to the murder scene
- Why Alice's first attempt to poison her husband failed
- The gory details of how Thomas was actually killed
- The sensational trial and the brutal executions that followed
- And how this true crime became legendary on the Tudor stage
I do hope you enjoy it!
