WILLIAM PALMER: The Notorious Crimes and Prosecution of the Prince of Poisoners

WILLIAM PALMER: The Notorious Crimes and Trial of the Prince of Poisoners 14 May 2024 --- #truecrimestories #crime #doctor Charles Dickens described William Palmer as “the greatest villain that ever stood in the Old Bailey dock.” Other writers and journalists of the day awarded Palmer other monikers such as “the Rugeley Poisoner” and the almost-complimentary epithet “the Prince of Poisoners.” And then, when William Palmer was due to hang, over 35,000 people crowded the streets of Stafford to witness the grisly event, with some even camping overnight to find good spots as if they were attending a festival or waiting for the new pair of Jordans to drop. So what did Palmer do to earn such a fearsome reputation? The crime that earned him a trip to the gallows was the murder of his friend John Cook with strychnine. However, looking back at his history, it was hard not to notice that so many other people in Palmer’s life died in suspicious circumstances, often with him profiting from their deaths. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

Napoleon II: Emperor for Three Weeks

Napoleon II: Emperor for 20 Days 5 Dec 2023 --- On December 2, 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of the French, becoming Napoleon I. Years after his downfall, on December 2, 1852, his nephew Louis Napoleon reinstated the Empire, styling himself as Napoleon III. So … the 1st, followed by the 3rd … you may have noticed something is missing here. The great Corsican general had a son who theoretically ruled as emperor for a handful of days. This young man later led most of his short life trapped in a gilded cage by his father’s enemies. This tragic figure was feared by European rulers, and yet is largely overlooked by history. This is the story of the boy who would be known as the King of Rome, the Duke of Reichstadt, and “Franz”, but who would be buried as Napoleon II. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
