You thought the scaffold was silent after last time? Think again.

In this follow-up to Heads Will Roll, we return to the blood-soaked stage of Tudor justice—where fear was policy and death was performance. This time, we uncover the executions you weren’t taught in school. Forgotten figures. Suppressed trials. Brutal ends that slipped through the cracks of history.

From abbots hung on the heights of Glastonbury… to rebels, servants, and traitors whose stories were nearly erased—we bring them back.

These were more than punishments. They were messages. And in Tudor England… messages were carved in flesh.

🎧 The Lion and the Rose Keep your sword sharp—and your history sharper.

He was Henry VIII’s closest friend, a fearless knight, and the only man daring enough to marry the king’s sister without permission.

🎭 Was he England’s lost prince or the greatest con artist of the Tudor era?

In this episode of The Lion & The Rose, we unravel the unbelievable story of Perkin Warbeck—a Flemish merchant’s son who convinced kings, nobles, and even entire armies that he was Richard of York, the missing Prince in the Tower.

Backed by Margaret of York, the Duchess of Burgundy, and supported by France, Scotland, and the Holy Roman Empire, Warbeck was treated like a true king. He led invasions, raised armies, and was even proclaimed King Richard IV.
