I'm sure there were executioners who loved their jobs, and gave psychopaths the perfect career. Most no doubt at least got used to it, or got over it. Like butchers. It's a Romantic idea that they were emotionally distraught and conflicted as depicted here. Today's prison executioners justify it by thinking the person deserves it, and they are helping the world. That way they can sleep at night. I'm sure it was the same then, but its a nice idea, and SHOULD have been thus. Just not realistically human.

That is true also the reason why their clothes got so heavy is because wool absorbs 80x it's weight in liquid. So basically you have to lift the weight of the dress times 80 while your knee deep in moving water. Another thing they'll have a horrible time standing up because of the force pushing on they'rer legs, in fact 3 ft of water moving 5 mph is enough to lift and move a car.

Egyptians had it for a while, Tudor period was just dumb aristocrats thinking they didn't need maintenance....smh what a time. These were a people who didn't bathe due to it not being holy. Even the Slavs weren't that dirty. Egyptians being the cleanliest, as they used soap as a moisturizer and bathed frequently. The Victorian era was just a bunch of fomo kings and queen shitting in corners of rooms.

The man explaining about executions was so compassionate - what a lovely man

"This is the head of a traitor!" "No it's not! It's a huge pumpkin with a pathetic moustache drawn on it!"

Of course the male actor in female drag is struggling to breathe! In the Tudor period the corsets, they should be called 'stays', didn't have metal eyelets (the holes where the stays were laced up). Instead they were holes in the fabric reinforced with thread, so a historically accurate outfit couldn't have been physically tightened as tightly as he is in the video because lacing tightly through fabric holes would cause the fabric to stretch and rip. - The ghost of Bernadette and Meme mom.

@LordofFullmetal

And they weren't tight-laced! No one was tight-lacing corsets even when they were invented (much later than this, as you correctly pointed out), because newsflash: women were actually expected to DO stuff. Women had work to do, they couldn't be struggling to breathe, in actual physical pain from their corsets/stays. They were basically bras; they were just supposed to be tight enough to stop your boobs from bouncing around. I feel like no one understands corsets/stays.

@diarmuidkuhle8181

Жыл бұрын

@@LordofFullmetal Tight-lacing was practiced in the 19th century by fashionable noblewomen aspiring to the 'waspish waist' look. Those types of corset models are re-inforced with rigid bone inserts and clearly were intended for extreme compression. The cliché of Victorian young aristocratic ladies constantly fainting at the drop of a hat came about because they couldn't breathe properly. There is mention in several contemporary magazines, often criticising the practice, but also adverts claiming that such-and-such a corset could reduce your waist from 27 to 18 inches.

Makes me appreciate modern times and conveniences although there are millions in the world in these modern times who do jobs similar to this every day.

Mary Tudor’s executioner was young, new to the job, and reportedly chosen by Mary’s enemies. Only a dull axe crushes.

the ducking stool was even worse than it appears. typically, they wouldn't dunk you up and down quickly--they'd hold you underwater for a time, then lift you up so the crowd could hear you screaming and wailing and begging for your life. they'd be holding you under almost to the point of drowning--and because you were tied to the chair, you'd feel the helpless panic and terror of both drowning and suffocating, plus the freezing cold if it were spring, autumn, or winter. it's easy to see how mobs of people (especially men) could get nuts and, probably quite enjoying the temporary power they had over someone, drown the poor woman by being overzealous. not a great idea for law and order, letting people carry out vigilante justice like that.
