Dark angel with JF was rubbish, I studied Mary Anne's case when I did my degree, she was a qualified nurse who killed over 120 people including all but one of her children, her mum and a husband. She murdered a husband and proposed to his brother while he was dying.She was caught after talking with a social worker about putting her son in care so she could marry again, when the boy died a week later the social worker called in the police to investigate.
I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth, but I also have a very soft spot for Mary. She never wanted to be what she became. She hoped to be gentle in guiding England back to Rome, but it didn't work out. She also tried to spare Jane Grey. Her husband despised her. And to not have anything to show for all her efforts at the end of her life. So sad.

"Rillington Place" (1971) is an excellent old movie with both Richard Attenborough and John Hurt, they're both amazing in it, thoroughly recommend and you get to see a dramatised version of the story.
They had the wrong date Jack the Ripper was in 1888 in the Whitechapel district of London he had at least 6 victims (ladies of the night) he removed parts of their internal organs. There were too many suspects and forensics were not up to the task, he just stopped suddenly. One suspect was an American Doctor. Cromwell and Becket should not have been on the list. I had not heard of Streona either. There is a film about Christie starring Richard Attenborough "10 Rillington Place", I recommend it. King John did not kill to become King, his brother Richard the Lion heart died abroad, he was also evil. Henry Il was overheard by some Knights saying " who will rid me of this troublesome priest" it was said in frustration, he didn't mean it, he and Becket were close friends. Becket refused to put loyalty to the King above God. His death was brutal and took place in Canterbury Cathedral. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the highest position in the Church of England. Amelia Dyer was not the only killer of children in England. I would have included Matthew Hopkins the Witch finder General and Judge Jefferies to the list.
"Infamy, infamy - they've all got it in for me." The unforgettable and still funny (to me at least!) line uttered by Kenneth Williams in one* of the classic 'Carry On' British film comedies. *'Carry on Cleo'
That classic line is up there with "To be or not to be", "We will never surrender", "This sceptred isle" and a few others. Probably the only true classic to be comedy.
This is rather a weird collection of different definitions of 'evil'. Amelia Dyer is not nearly as well known as you'd think. I had heard of her, through listening to a radio programme about her- but that was only a few months ago. The case of the Yorkshire Ripper is sadly almost as well known for the fundemental mistakes made by the police trying to catch him as for the crimes themselves, which meant he was able to continue killing for so long. Love the made -up word 'authenticicated' in the segment about Thomas Becket.
I also, knew of Amelia Dyer from Martina Cole's documentary Ladykillers (2008) which listed about 10 British female serial killers. This was the first time I heard of her and a few others too.
"what a radically different future... For Britain" ... Uhm, if that guy had been their prime minister, the UK most likely would have been on the other side of the war, and given the fact that they were the biggest thorn in Hitler's side for most of it... That sh*t would have affected you, too.
Christie had a job either as a part time police officer or maybe as an air raid warden. Either way during air raids he was in a position of power where people would do what he ordered. The air raids also gave plenty of places for dead bodies could be left and death blamed on the bombings in the way bombs kill. Sucking up the air and suffocating was one way apart from blowing you apart. The home gas at that time was called coal gas and was toxic. Could knock unconscious and ultimately death. Christie and other killers had plenty of opportunities to feed their nasty needs.
I’m a Brit, but I’ve never heard of Amelia Dyer. I don’t know what Cromwell and Beckett are doing on this list, maybe it’s our progressive friends trying to rewrite history again. There’re two films, in one Richard Harris played Cromwell. And and in the other Richard Burton played Beckett. I remember as a youth in my home county of West Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Ripper being at large.
Jack the rippers last Killing certainly was the most horrific because it to place in the victims private lodgings and the killer was able to indulge himself. The victims were Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddows, and Mary Kelly, in 1888. The most likely candidate for the identity of Jack the Ripper was Arron Kosminsky a polish imagrant, but there is still no proof of this. The letters, as far as I know, are fake. The only one the police took seriously was the one sent to George Lusk, along with half a human kidney who the writer claimed to have eaten the other half, saying it was very nice. Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddows were killed on the same night.They called it the double event. Martha Tabram and Alice Mckenzie could also have been Ripper Victims, but this is not certain.
Tyler, I've lived in Britain all my life, and I haven't heard of all of these either! It's interesting that they've chosen characters going back over the last Millennia and more, but there is certainly some bias towards the more famous names. Mary Tudor - a.k.a. Bloody Mary, for example, is missing, despite it being known that she had at least 350 people put to death for what she considered to be heresy during her short, 4-year reign; yet they choose Oliver Cromwell's implied but not fully proven crimes over her. Likewise, they feel the need to always include "Jack the Ripper," and his Yorkshire counterpart, even though there has since been others such as Dr Harold Shipman, who are believed to be responsble for far more unexpected deaths than the two of these put together; plus the really henious sexual murder crimes of Fred and Rosemary West, the Moors Murderers and Dennis Nielson. Jack the Ripper was never positively identified incidentally, though the sudden death from what we're told was typhoid in 1891 of the 28-year old Prince Albert Victor of Wales - who was second-in-line to the Throne and widely regarded as one of the suspects, was in itself suspect, if you believe in conspiracy theories...!
I watched a documentary about Amelia Dyer sometime ago and it was absolutely sickening to hear about her crimes and heartbreaking for the young mothers she took advantage of. Considering how horrific she was, most British people have never heard of her 😮
Oliver Cromwell was best known for being Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England Scotland and Ireland after the defeat of King Charles I in the Civil War. He was one of the main signatories on Charles I's death warrant. After the execution of King Charles I, Cromwell led the Commonwealth of England.
Famous quote that had becket killed "won't someone rid me of this meddlesome (or turbulent) priest?!" some knights took that as a command to kill him but it wasn't a clear order. this is studied to some degree in law as one of the first cited exampled of "direction via indirection". This concept is applied in RICO and mob cases as well as in war crimes cases like in the Nuremberg Nazi trials.
No, but then crimes such as the killings of *400 babies* crosses the line whichever the era or it's ethics... As Tyler intimated himself, that's 'beyond the beyond'. It's hard to think of worse crimes, yet that killer was lower in the list... I wouldn't find it easy to compile such a list, in all truth, no matter how many or few there might be, according to their activities. Tearing down statues originally constructed to commemorate slave owners etc, hardly compares to some of the persons listed here ...with all due consideration to any family and acquaintances of the deceased, of course. 😢🏴😐🇬🇧🖖
I don't agree about Oliver Cromwell, the campaigns against the Irish were religious based, the Irish were Catholic and the British were Anglican and the Catholics in Britain had tried many plots to kill British monarchs to reintroduce the Catholic religion as the dominant force (one such plot involved Guy Fawkes. But there were others, including attempted invasions by the French and Spanish, supported by the Irish). Cromwell was a reluctant leader who retired when the Royalists were defeated and the Commonwealth set up, but he was later recalled due to the bickering of politicians, he was a man of his times, such actions as his Irish campaigns were similar to those of the warfare of the age across Europe, it is reckoned that he actually saved many lives after Drogheda as the Irish capitulated and surrendered and were not punished further.
8:55 'desire to acquire and retain power' - er...he was offered the crowns of England and Scotland (guaranteeing lifelong power), and he still refused to become King or Emperor. He only took power because he thought everyone else was either immoral or incompetent.
There is one story about Jack the Ripper being an American Doctor- and another of him escaping to America when the Police were getting close.... I;ll just look up the names - Dr Francis Timblety
(Old English nursery rhyme) Oliver Cromwell lay buried and dead, Hee-haw, buried and dead, There grew an old apple-tree over his head, Hee-haw, over his head. The apples were ripe and ready to fall, Hee-haw, ready to fall, There came an old woman to gather them all, Hee-haw, gather them all. Oliver rose and gave her a drop, Hee-haw, gave her a drop, Which made the old woman go hippety hop, Hee-haw, hippety hop. The saddle and bridle, they lie on the shelf, Hee-haw, lie on the shelf, If you want any more you can sing it yourself, Hee-haw, sing it yourself.
King John also lost the Crown Jewels while crossing the Wash from Bishops Lynn to Newark. He died not long after from dysentery. They are still looking for the Jewels in the Wash.
Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland and always the police’ prime suspect is the most notorious modern serial killer ‘Jack the Ripper’. Kosminski’s arrival in London in the early 1880’s corresponded with reactions in Russia to Jewish terrorist activity that had cumulated in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II by a Jew Vera Figner. Among those leaving Eastern Europe for Britain at that time were malevolent terrorist types such as the Tsar’s murderer and British police were investigating this subversive political activity specifically involving Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia. While it was DNA from the victim’s blood and killer’s semen, isolated on the shawl found by Catherine Eddowes body that identified Kosminski as the ‘Ripper’, its pattern of Michaelmas daisies revealed a murderous ritual punishment schedule meted out towards European Christian woman. The dates of each murder correspond to a Christian festival the sequence he killed in appears as Catholic - Orthodox - Catholic - Orthodox. Here is a case of a Jew specifically choosing ethnic European Christian woman on Christian religious dates for the sole purpose of sexual violation, mutilation and murder. It is difficult to dismiss the charge of ritual murder particularly when related to the current climate, the amount of missing and or defiled children and the Jewish nature of the Paedophile scandal links are undeniable......For the news report search youtube for this video title - 'Jack The Ripper killer identity revealed - Truthloader'.
Eadric Streona was an English warlord who first supported the Danes, then switched to support King Edmund Ironside, then at a crucial point backed the Danes giving them victory. Canute the Danish King was no fool, he knew such a man couldn't be trusted. He had him executed and made Earl Godwin, who had always been loyal to King Edmund and fought against Canute into a one of the most powerful men in the land.
I’m British and had only heard of Oliver Cromwell but didn’t know much about him and the two rippers. Jacks identity was never uncovered there has been speculation but nothing has been proved. I think I was expecting the Wests and Myra and Ian
10 Rillington place is one of the greatest British films ever made with 2 of the greatest British actors of all time ! Dude watch it ull love it ! ❤Jon hurt
Peter Sutcliffe lived in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Hence being called ‘The Yorkshire Ripper’. He did commit murders in Lancashire/Manchester which is all VERY TERRIBLE. But to mention Manchester and not Leeds is a disgusting disrespect of his multiple victims in Leeds (which is very close to Bradford, where he lived). He mainly stalked LEEDS. Not Manchester.
Poor King John 'Lackland' had a bad press. He had to raise taxes to pay for the ransom of his older brother King Richard 'the Lionheart', which had bankrupted the kingdom. King Richard was not actually a good King - he spent only six months of his ten year reign in the kingdom, the rest of it draining the treasury to fund his Crusader escapades - including being captured and having to be ransomed. There is a story of John and Richard riding through England and getting a bit lost. King Richard of England: "Brother, where are we?" Prince John: "I don't know, Sire. Why don't you ask that English peasant over there? Oh, I'm sorry - I totally forgot - you don't speak his language!" King Richard of England didn't speak English. King John did.
@@hypsyzygy506How does anyone know that King John spoke English? I am not saying he didn't. I just wondered how anyone knows. I doubt much was being written in English at the time.
It's currently fashionable to hate Cromwell. He was a man of his times and no worse than many others at the time and in some cases better? There are even things attributed to him that were carried out by others, that with a little common sense and study can be seen as obvious propaganda. But that would take a bit of effort and the swallowing of "humble pie"?
Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas and dancing for 30 years!! Missing from the list Harold Shipman - worth looking up. Mosley - worth looking up The Battle for Cable Street.
"Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas", What utter rot! 1st, where was Cromwell and what was he doing from the outbreak of the Civil Wars. He was away fighting as a Colonel and then as a General and didn't sit that often in parliament as what is today in considered a 'Back Bencher'. 2nd, although more influential from 1648, he didn't become Lord Protector until 1653, so how could he have personally have banned Christmas in 1644? Perhaps he rode from the Battle of Marston Moor on a train or bicycle into London to vote on a trivial bill and then back again to carry on with the wars?
@@johnp8131 um you should re read my statement - i didn't mention when - not sure where you got 1644 from. Also it was said with humor, you should chill out more. Way too much aggression in your reply. This is a happy channel.
@@lizstratton9689 Try looking things up in a real history book, not from what was taught at schools in the 1950's. Nicholas Carrington comment also gives 1644 as the initial date, funny that isn't it? There was also an outright ban in 1647 for whch Cromwell was absent from parliament. This ban was also generally ignored. Documentation is freely available on this, check 'The Cromwell Museum', online and on TH-cam. Appologies if it seemed aggressive, however having studied Cromwell for part of my bachelor's I get sick and tired of the amount of half truths and complete lies many believe about him? Also, humor? Try humour.
OK Tyler, mini history lesson. Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector ( ruler) of England. Thomas Beckett was Archbishop of Canterbury...the most senior churchman and head of the church in England. This video is VERY strange, neither of these people could really be considered as evil ( unless you were Irish in the case of Oliver Cromwell) so I don't understand why they should be on this list when, as other people have commented, we have had murderers who don't appear on the list who were truly evil.
I have been to all the Jack the Ripper murder locations, I did the the Jack the Ripper tour when I was in London once he's a dark tourist attraction now. Also in the street behind the hospital where I was born the Acid Bath Murders happened it's not a very big country there is dark history everywhere.
Cromwell was not evil, he was a product of his time. He didn't want power, it was thrust on him due to the political circumstances. His military actions were not unusual for the times. His attacks were partly as a response to a mass killing of Protestants in the North of Ireland by Catholics, which included men, women and children who were thrown off a bridge and those who weren't drowned, were shot in the water by the Irish. The English were also worried about the possibility of Catholic invasions from such countries as Spain and France, aided by the Irish. Jack the Ripper and the Yorkshire Ripper did exactly what their names suggest to the women they killed in the most gruesome ways. I'll leave it up to your imagination as to how they used their knives.
At some point, it was even suggested that Jack the Ripper was a member of the royal family! Perhaps that was the reason he was never brought to justice ????
Amelia Dyer was caught, exposing the business of "baby farming", but she was only one of many who were never caught. Baby farming was a common practice.
I don't think the narrator was very clear about Christie. Timothy Evans, his wife and baby daughter were all tenants in Christie's house, Christie murdered Mrs Evans and the baby daughter, and after Evans was accused of and arrested for the crime, Christie stood as a key witness. Evens was found guilty and hanged, Christie wasn't caught for another 3 years.
Good grief how can Harold Shipman, Myra Hindley and Ian Brady not be on that list?

#9 was not the only one and these (usually) women existed everywhere in the world. Even in USA.
"what a radically different future... For Britain" ... Uhm, if that guy had been their prime minister, the UK most likely would have been on the other side of the war, and given the fact that they were the biggest thorn in Hitler's side for most of it... That sh*t would have affected you, too.
No. 1 is Starmer lol. M*sl*y was a good guy aswell. Fought in WW1, fought for women's rights, exposed sweatshops, and wanted to protect his country.
Tyler, when he gets to Olly Cromwell: is this finally not going to be a mass murderer?
The Irish: 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no!
Lady Killers with Lucy Worsley is a great true crime podcast and went through what happened with Amelia Dyer for all those Brits interested. 😊
I’d also add bojo, thatcher, truss, mogg, braverman, coffey, farage………the list goes on and on 😂
Christie had a job either as a part time police officer or maybe as an air raid warden. Either way during air raids he was in a position of power where people would do what he ordered. The air raids also gave plenty of places for dead bodies could be left and death blamed on the bombings in the way bombs kill. Sucking up the air and suffocating was one way apart from blowing you apart.
The home gas at that time was called coal gas and was toxic. Could knock unconscious and ultimately death. Christie and other killers had plenty of opportunities to feed their nasty needs.
The jump from 10 to 9 is extreme
I’m a Brit, but I’ve never heard of Amelia Dyer. I don’t know what Cromwell and Beckett are doing on this list, maybe it’s our progressive friends trying to rewrite history again.
There’re two films, in one Richard Harris played Cromwell. And and in the other Richard Burton played Beckett.
I remember as a youth in my home county of West Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Ripper being at large.
I've heard of Amelia Dyer, but I can't understand why Cromwell and Beckett on the list.
Jack the rippers last Killing certainly was the most horrific because it to place in the victims private lodgings and the killer was able to indulge himself. The victims were Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddows, and Mary Kelly, in 1888. The most likely candidate for the identity of Jack the Ripper was Arron Kosminsky a polish imagrant, but there is still no proof of this. The letters, as far as I know, are fake. The only one the police took seriously was the one sent to George Lusk, along with half a human kidney who the writer claimed to have eaten the other half, saying it was very nice. Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddows were killed on the same night.They called it the double event. Martha Tabram and Alice Mckenzie could also have been Ripper Victims, but this is not certain.
Tyler, I've lived in Britain all my life, and I haven't heard of all of these either! It's interesting that they've chosen characters going back over the last Millennia and more, but there is certainly some bias towards the more famous names. Mary Tudor - a.k.a. Bloody Mary, for example, is missing, despite it being known that she had at least 350 people put to death for what she considered to be heresy during her short, 4-year reign; yet they choose Oliver Cromwell's implied but not fully proven crimes over her. Likewise, they feel the need to always include "Jack the Ripper," and his Yorkshire counterpart, even though there has since been others such as Dr Harold Shipman, who are believed to be responsble for far more unexpected deaths than the two of these put together; plus the really henious sexual murder crimes of Fred and Rosemary West, the Moors Murderers and Dennis Nielson. Jack the Ripper was never positively identified incidentally, though the sudden death from what we're told was typhoid in 1891 of the 28-year old Prince Albert Victor of Wales - who was second-in-line to the Throne and widely regarded as one of the suspects, was in itself suspect, if you believe in conspiracy theories...!
She took babies in for care, known as 'baby farming'.
Watch the movie ten Rillington place the original amazing
I watched a documentary about Amelia Dyer sometime ago and it was absolutely sickening to hear about her crimes and heartbreaking for the young mothers she took advantage of. Considering how horrific she was, most British people have never heard of her 😮
Oliver Cromwell was best known for being Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England Scotland and Ireland after the defeat of King Charles I in the Civil War. He was one of the main signatories on Charles I's death warrant. After the execution of King Charles I, Cromwell led the Commonwealth of England.
A bit of advice watch the film, 10 rillington place played by richard attenborough, creepy and brilliant.
They never caught Jack the Ripper
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of the church of England.
Jack the Ripper was never identified and people are still trying to figure out who he was.
Famous quote that had becket killed "won't someone rid me of this meddlesome (or turbulent) priest?!" some knights took that as a command to kill him but it wasn't a clear order. this is studied to some degree in law as one of the first cited exampled of "direction via indirection". This concept is applied in RICO and mob cases as well as in war crimes cases like in the Nuremberg Nazi trials.
The problem with this is that you cannot put today's ethics onto the past
No, but then crimes such as the killings of *400 babies* crosses the line whichever the era or it's ethics...
As Tyler intimated himself, that's 'beyond the beyond'.
It's hard to think of worse crimes, yet that killer was lower in the list...
I wouldn't find it easy to compile such a list, in all truth, no matter how many or few there might be, according to their activities.
Tearing down statues originally constructed to commemorate slave owners etc, hardly compares to some of the persons listed here ...with all due consideration to any family and acquaintances of the deceased, of course. 😢🏴😐🇬🇧🖖
I don't agree about Oliver Cromwell, the campaigns against the Irish were religious based, the Irish were Catholic and the British were Anglican and the Catholics in Britain had tried many plots to kill British monarchs to reintroduce the Catholic religion as the dominant force (one such plot involved Guy Fawkes. But there were others, including attempted invasions by the French and Spanish, supported by the Irish). Cromwell was a reluctant leader who retired when the Royalists were defeated and the Commonwealth set up, but he was later recalled due to the bickering of politicians, he was a man of his times, such actions as his Irish campaigns were similar to those of the warfare of the age across Europe, it is reckoned that he actually saved many lives after Drogheda as the Irish capitulated and surrendered and were not punished further.
Tyler you probably won't read this, but just in case look up the film/movie made in mid 60's titled " Becket"
Cromwell was a 'puritan' no singing, no chrimas deliberation- - -.
He had at least two mistresses. He was a fraud.
Not true. Please read some proper history and not history from a Ladybird book.
@@johnp8131 so, what's true.
@helenwood8482 misstresses were normal as with Abraham
8:55 'desire to acquire and retain power' - er...he was offered the crowns of England and Scotland (guaranteeing lifelong power), and he still refused to become King or Emperor. He only took power because he thought everyone else was either immoral or incompetent.
My mother used to play in the street as a child outside where Christie lived. She remembered him standing at his front door.😮
There is one story about Jack the Ripper being an American Doctor- and another of him escaping to America when the Police were getting close.... I;ll just look up the names - Dr Francis Timblety
I think a film / `movie` was made concerning the events at "10 Rillington Place." It`s called " 10 Rillington Place."
(Old English nursery rhyme)
Oliver Cromwell lay buried and dead,
Hee-haw, buried and dead,
There grew an old apple-tree over his head,
Hee-haw, over his head.
The apples were ripe and ready to fall,
Hee-haw, ready to fall,
There came an old woman to gather them all,
Hee-haw, gather them all.
Oliver rose and gave her a drop,
Hee-haw, gave her a drop,
Which made the old woman go hippety hop,
Hee-haw, hippety hop.
The saddle and bridle, they lie on the shelf,
Hee-haw, lie on the shelf,
If you want any more you can sing it yourself,
Hee-haw, sing it yourself.
If you wanna get picky Jack the Ripper was 1888 not 1889 like it showed on the video lol.
Jack the Ripper sent letters to the police, dated 'from Hell'.
Or did he?
They think one of the letters wasn't from him but other might have been.
Fred and Rosemary West
Richard Attenborough starred as Christie in the film "10 Rillington Place."
Sorry, I've never heard of Eadric Streona or Amelia Wossername before.
Do you know about Robin Hood? There are plenty of movies about him. King John was the one he went up against.
11:10 i always thought britains famous traitor was guy fawkes
King John also lost the Crown Jewels while crossing the Wash from Bishops Lynn to Newark. He died not long after from dysentery.
They are still looking for the Jewels in the Wash.
Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland and always the police’ prime suspect is the most notorious modern serial killer ‘Jack the Ripper’. Kosminski’s arrival in London in the early 1880’s corresponded with reactions in Russia to Jewish terrorist activity that had cumulated in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II by a Jew Vera Figner. Among those leaving Eastern Europe for Britain at that time were malevolent terrorist types such as the Tsar’s murderer and British police were investigating this subversive political activity specifically involving Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia. While it was DNA from the victim’s blood and killer’s semen, isolated on the shawl found by Catherine Eddowes body that identified Kosminski as the ‘Ripper’, its pattern of Michaelmas daisies revealed a murderous ritual punishment schedule meted out towards European Christian woman. The dates of each murder correspond to a Christian festival the sequence he killed in appears as Catholic - Orthodox - Catholic - Orthodox. Here is a case of a Jew specifically choosing ethnic European Christian woman on Christian religious dates for the sole purpose of sexual violation, mutilation and murder. It is difficult to dismiss the charge of ritual murder particularly when related to the current climate, the amount of missing and or defiled children and the Jewish nature of the Paedophile scandal links are undeniable......For the news report search youtube for this video title - 'Jack The Ripper killer identity revealed - Truthloader'.
One theory re Jack the Ripper was that he was a (albeit deranged ) member of the Royal Family
The eldest son of the Prince of Wales, second in line to the throne at the time.
Another candidate was a royal surgeon.
Eadric Streona was an English warlord who first supported the Danes, then switched to support King Edmund Ironside, then at a crucial point backed the Danes giving them victory. Canute the Danish King was no fool, he knew such a man couldn't be trusted. He had him executed and made Earl Godwin, who had always been loyal to King Edmund and fought against Canute into a one of the most powerful men in the land.
Cromwell was also a Puritan. 🙂 To learn more about Thomas Becket, watch the movie "Becket" -- great film with Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole.
I’m British and had only heard of Oliver Cromwell but didn’t know much about him and the two rippers. Jacks identity was never uncovered there has been speculation but nothing has been proved. I think I was expecting the Wests and Myra and Ian
What about Fred and Rosemary West ???
10 Rillington place is one of the greatest British films ever made with 2 of the greatest British actors of all time ! Dude watch it ull love it ! ❤Jon hurt
Peter Sutcliffe lived in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Hence being called ‘The Yorkshire Ripper’. He did commit murders in Lancashire/Manchester which is all VERY TERRIBLE. But to mention Manchester and not Leeds is a disgusting disrespect of his multiple victims in Leeds (which is very close to Bradford, where he lived). He mainly stalked LEEDS. Not Manchester.
What about Jeremy Kyle?
😂😂😂
I think it's a list of humans - not whatever the Hell Kyle is!
@@alanmoss3603 Definitely seems to have some kind of raptor bird in him with that face 🤪
@@alanmoss3603 Fair point.
How is he still on TV ? I won't watch him.
Cromwell wanted Parliament to be sovereign - not the king.
But then he started acting like the king 😂
Two good things came from King John. He caused Magna Carta to be written and he blost his treasure, so generations of people have hoped to find it.
Poor King John 'Lackland' had a bad press. He had to raise taxes to pay for the ransom of his older brother King Richard 'the Lionheart', which had bankrupted the kingdom. King Richard was not actually a good King - he spent only six months of his ten year reign in the kingdom, the rest of it draining the treasury to fund his Crusader escapades - including being captured and having to be ransomed.
There is a story of John and Richard riding through England and getting a bit lost.
King Richard of England: "Brother, where are we?"
Prince John: "I don't know, Sire. Why don't you ask that English peasant over there? Oh, I'm sorry - I totally forgot - you don't speak his language!"
King Richard of England didn't speak English.
King John did.
@@hypsyzygy506How does anyone know that King John spoke English? I am not saying he didn't. I just wondered how anyone knows. I doubt much was being written in English at the time.
It's currently fashionable to hate Cromwell. He was a man of his times and no worse than many others at the time and in some cases better? There are even things attributed to him that were carried out by others, that with a little common sense and study can be seen as obvious propaganda. But that would take a bit of effort and the swallowing of "humble pie"?
You should really do a reaction to Jack the Ripper ❤ a serial killer NEVER Caught! Fascinating story
Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas and dancing for 30 years!! Missing from the list Harold Shipman - worth looking up. Mosley - worth looking up The Battle for Cable Street.
Christmas was officially banned from 1644 until the Restoration in 1660. (It was 'suggested' that people shouldn't celebrate it in 1643.)
"Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas", What utter rot!
1st, where was Cromwell and what was he doing from the outbreak of the Civil Wars. He was away fighting as a Colonel and then as a General and didn't sit that often in parliament as what is today in considered a 'Back Bencher'.
2nd, although more influential from 1648, he didn't become Lord Protector until 1653, so how could he have personally have banned Christmas in 1644? Perhaps he rode from the Battle of Marston Moor on a train or bicycle into London to vote on a trivial bill and then back again to carry on with the wars?
@@johnp8131 um you should re read my statement - i didn't mention when - not sure where you got 1644 from. Also it was said with humor, you should chill out more. Way too much aggression in your reply. This is a happy channel.
@@lizstratton9689 Try looking things up in a real history book, not from what was taught at schools in the 1950's. Nicholas Carrington comment also gives 1644 as the initial date, funny that isn't it? There was also an outright ban in 1647 for whch Cromwell was absent from parliament. This ban was also generally ignored. Documentation is freely available on this, check 'The Cromwell Museum', online and on TH-cam. Appologies if it seemed aggressive, however having studied Cromwell for part of my bachelor's I get sick and tired of the amount of half truths and complete lies many believe about him?
Also, humor? Try humour.
What are Cromwell and Thomas Becket even doing on this list?
Jimmy saville should be here
Fred and rose west should be on this list I heard about them years ago and I still remember there crimes today
OK Tyler, mini history lesson. Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector ( ruler) of England. Thomas Beckett was Archbishop of Canterbury...the most senior churchman and head of the church in England. This video is VERY strange, neither of these people could really be considered as evil ( unless you were Irish in the case of Oliver Cromwell) so I don't understand why they should be on this list when, as other people have commented, we have had murderers who don't appear on the list who were truly evil.
10 Rillington Place A movie starring Sir Richard Attenborough (brother of Sir David Attenborough) played Christie, brilliantly creepy.
I have been to all the Jack the Ripper murder locations, I did the the Jack the Ripper tour when I was in London once he's a dark tourist attraction now. Also in the street behind the hospital where I was born the Acid Bath Murders happened it's not a very big country there is dark history everywhere.
What a strange list. Some decidedly odd inclusions there.
Cromwell was not evil, he was a product of his time. He didn't want power, it was thrust on him due to the political circumstances. His military actions were not unusual for the times. His attacks were partly as a response to a mass killing of Protestants in the North of Ireland by Catholics, which included men, women and children who were thrown off a bridge and those who weren't drowned, were shot in the water by the Irish. The English were also worried about the possibility of Catholic invasions from such countries as Spain and France, aided by the Irish.
Jack the Ripper and the Yorkshire Ripper did exactly what their names suggest to the women they killed in the most gruesome ways. I'll leave it up to your imagination as to how they used their knives.
They think JACK the RIPPER died in NEW YORK!
Fully certified and long serving Brit here and I've never heard of John Reginald Christie.
There’s always been a rumour that Jack the Ripper wasn’t caught because he was royalty! ❤
At some point, it was even suggested that Jack the Ripper was a member of the royal family! Perhaps that was the reason he was never brought to justice ????
For Christy watch the film "10 Rillington Place".
Son of Sam, Zodiac Killer...many American killers taunted the police too.
You need to watch the video series on here called the nasty histories, or something like that.
Amelia Dyer was caught, exposing the business of "baby farming", but she was only one of many who were never caught. Baby farming was a common practice.
What's sick about that murderer Christie is that an innocent man was exucuted because of him..
The Jack the Ripper murders remain unsolved.
I don't think the narrator was very clear about Christie. Timothy Evans, his wife and baby daughter were all tenants in Christie's house, Christie murdered Mrs Evans and the baby daughter, and after Evans was accused of and arrested for the crime, Christie stood as a key witness. Evens was found guilty and hanged, Christie wasn't caught for another 3 years.
cromwell was a patriot
No doubt about it. So was Hitler. Cromwell was a military dictator. He was no better than the man he replaced.
