Reply to comment by ChristyM4ck 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

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.
