1 ene 1724 año - John ‘Jack’ Sheppard is executed

Descripción:

John ‘Jack’ Sheppard was one of London’s greatest criminal heroes. Notorious for escaping multiple times from Newgate, he became a symbol of freedom for London’s working classes — executed at age 22, in 1724. An apprentice carpenter, Jack fell into a life of thieving, reputably led astray by ‘bad company and lewd women’. Although eventually executed at Tyburn at the age of 22, his effrontery and skill in challenging authority ensured his story was recounted in popular books and plays for generations. In fact, in the 1850s, journalist and playwright Henry Mayhew discovered that chapbooks recounting Sheppard’s exploits were hugely popular in low lodging houses where they were read aloud to illiterate youths.
