February 1551… and in a small town near London a terrible murder takes place; a man is killed by his wife and a large assortment of colourful characters, and the case of it creates an uproar that scandalises London all that year… and beyond. The crime became immortalised in poems, ballads, plays, and over 25 years later was included in detail in one of the great historical accounts of the history of England. What was it that so intoxicated the Tudor audiences that they were drawn back again and again to rehash the details so salacious? In this special chapter, made to celebrate our 4th anniversary, we examine the most detailed account of this event to see what it tells us about the time, and to witness an amazing story of London Grocers, criminal soldiers, and children who helped murder their own father.
Cover includes detail of a cover of Arden of Faversham, produced by the artist Hugh Ribbans.
