Ep.10 The Executioners

The History of The Executioners
They were feared, reviled, and sometimes strangely respected. Executioners lived on the edges of society, called upon to do the work no one else wanted but everyone demanded. In this episode, we’ll look at how the role of the executioner developed across different cultures, why many of them became outcasts, and how their grim profession shaped law, order, and public spectacle. From the medieval axemen to the masked figures of more recent centuries, the story of executioners is as much about justice and fear as it is about death itself.
