Reply to comment by sweetplantveal in TIL that following their execution (by beheading) for treason, the heads of Baron Saye and his son-in-law were unceremoniously impaled on pikes by a mob and pushed together so that they appeared to kiss. by SilasMarner77

Seems perfectly normal. It would happen today if it was legal or people were organized/united enough. Why do you think all the billionaires keep their identity secret, why do they hide their assets so hard that officially the UK royals aren‘t billionaires? Because they are scared of the consequences of exploitation, corruption and greed.

Nothing stated in the article even alludes to this theory.

I‘m saying it‘s not like politicians didn‘t make false promises back then. Corruption is nothing new either. I can imagine hundreds of reasons why a king would be assassinated shortly after being crowned. And I can imagine dozens of reasons why a king would be charged with treason.
