Execution stories from the Tudor age begin long before the scaffold. They begin with a whisper at court, a letter intercepted, a queen's smile that lasted one day too long. This show tells the true execution stories of the men and women who climbed the Tudor scaffold.

Each episode reconstructs one case in full, cinematic detail: the rise that made them untouchable, the accusation that changed everything, the trial whose verdict was written in advance, and the final morning on the scaffold. No host chatting between clips, no panel debating theories. Just one complete story, narrated start to finish, built from court records, letters, and the eyewitness accounts the Tudor world left behind.

You will hear execution stories of queens who went from the throne to the block in three weeks, ministers who built the machine that later destroyed them, and commoners whose deaths shook kings. Some episodes follow the last days of a single prisoner; others trace the political storm that made an execution inevitable. All of them treat these execution stories as what they really are: the sharpest edge of power in an age when falling from favor meant falling forever.

If you are drawn to execution stories told like slow-burning thrillers, this is built for you. New episodes drop regularly, each one a self-contained descent toward the scaffold. Subscribe now so the next of these execution stories lands the moment it goes live.Copyright OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT 世界

  • The terrorized flight that made a heretic leader

    The terrorized flight that made a heretic leader
    2026/09/02
    A man educated by the Church is driven out by an accusation he cannot answer, becoming the most feared heretic in northern Italy.

    The terrorized flight that made a heretic leader

    This episode explores the life of Fra Dolcino, a figure hunted by the Church for seven years, whose identity and motivations remain debated centuries later. How did a man described as gentle become a radical leader?

    Person: Fra Dolcino
    Date: March 23, 1307
    Location: Mount Rubello, Sesia Valley, Piedmont
    Event: Capture and execution of Dolcino and Margaret of Trent
    Movement: Apostolics

    - Fra Dolcino was captured and executed in 1307 by order of the Bishop of Vercelli, with no formal trial recorded.
    - The Church spent seven years hunting Dolcino, yet little physical description survives beyond him being of short stature, always smiling, and having a gentle temperament.
    - Dolcino filled a vacancy left by Gerard Segarelli, who founded the Apostolics on the premise that the Church was corrupt and followers should abandon property.
    - Three competing theories exist regarding Dolcino's real name and family background, ranging from a wealthy family to an illegitimate son of a priest.
    - As a child, Dolcino studied grammar at the church of Saint Agnes in Vercelli until he was accused of theft and fled, described as "terrorized."

    The two comedies a republic decided were worth killing him for

    This episode delves into the life of Pedro Muñoz Seca, a prolific Spanish playwright whose satirical comedies and monarchist convictions placed him in direct opposition to the Second Republic. It explores the unique blend of his theatrical genius and his political beliefs, leading to the ultimate question of why he chose laughter in his final moments.

    Date: November 28, 1936
    Location: East of Madrid
    Plays written: Nearly 300
    Born: February 20, 1879

    - Pedro Muñoz Seca, a playwright with nine children, made a joke in the final seconds before a firing squad in 1936.
    - He was born in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, and consciously invented his birth year and hour to align with theatrical performance times.
    - Muñoz Seca studied Philosophy and Law in Seville, graduating in 1901, and began writing plays while still a student.
    - He held a position in the Ministry of Public Works from 1908, but dedicated his evenings and weekends to writing plays, often with collaborators.
    - In 1918, his play La venganza de Don Mendo, a parody of historical romance, brought him widespread fame across Spain.
