CW: Mention of execution In 1642 there was great unease about the execution of a godly Catholic priest, Hugh Green.
There was a reluctance to pull the ladder from under him (they had to get a clown) and then to cut him down while still alive. The man who was to do the quartering was a timorous barber. The barber took so long that Green came to his senses and sat upright.

In 1102 there was a dispute over whether Canterbury or York had the supremacy in the Church. At an ecclesiatical council in Westminster, Archbishop Gerald of York threw a tantrum because Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury had a chair that was raised higher than Gerald's. Gerald refused to sit down until chairs were on the same level. Later that year the Pope censured Gerald and ordered him to swear an oath to Anselm.

1556 John Noyes was executed at Litchfield, Suffolk. To get burning coals to start the blaze, officers had to break down the doors of a house where there was a single remaining chimney which had smoke coming out (all other fires in the village being extinguished). It was a forlorn gesture of neighbourly solidarity with the local shoemaker. Killing people in their own parishes was unpopular.

A law passed in 1539 made it a capital offence for a priest to marry a woman. (Strangely, keeping a woman as a concubine resulted only in confiscation of property.) A late amendment allowed married priests three weeks to "put away" their wives without penalty. Archbishop Cranmer sent his wife and children to Germany.

During the Siege of Oxford 1644 there was an outbreak of the plague and cats and dogs were killed as it was thought they were responsible for the spread. All this did was increase the local rat population.

In medieval England you often had to pop across the channel to sort out a dispute. Henry II kept 25 ships on regular standby for making the crossing. Thomas Becket had 6, the Queen Eleanor had 1.

In the retribution that followed the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, Flemish widows in the city of London were allowed to take part in the executions of the convicted rioters who were beheaded for beheading their merchant husbands only a few weeks before. Flemish wives struggled with heavy axes and killed their husbands’ murderers. The justice was chillingly biblical.
