"During his consulship the royal family made an attempt to regain the throne, firstly by their ambassadors seeking to subvert a number of the leading Roman citizens in the Tarquinian conspiracy. Amongst the conspirators were two brothers of Brutus' wife Vitellia, and Brutus' two sons, Titus Junius Brutus and Tiberius Junius Brutus. The conspiracy was discovered and the consuls determined to punish the conspirators with death. Brutus gained respect for his stoicism in watching the execution of his own sons, even though he showed emotion during the punishment. His colleague Collatinus was removed from office for his lack of harshness on the conspirators."

"The Royal Palace of Amsterdam in Amsterdam (Dutch: Koninklijk Paleis van Amsterdam or Paleis op de Dam) is one of three palaces in the Netherlands which are at the disposal of the monarch by Act of Parliament. It is situated on the west side of Dam Square in the centre of Amsterdam, opposite the War Memorial and next to the Nieuwe Kerk.
"The palace was built as a city hall during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. The building became the royal palace of King Louis Napoleon and later of the Dutch Royal House.
"The structure was built as the Town Hall of the City of Amsterdam 'facing the landing wharfs along Damrak, which at that time would have been busy with ships'. The town hall was opened on 29 July 1655 by Cornelis de Graeff, the mayor of Amsterdam. The main architect was Jacob van Campen, who took control of the construction project in 1648.
"After the patriot revolution which swept the House of Orange from power a decade earlier, the new Batavian Republic was forced to accept Louis Napoleon, brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, as King Louis I of Holland in 1806. After holding his court at The Hague and Utrecht, Louis Napoleon moved to Amsterdam, and converted the Town Hall into a royal palace for himself.
"The King of Holland did not have long to appreciate his new palace. He abdicated on 2 July 1810; his son, Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, then succeeded him, as King Louis II, before the Netherlands were annexed by France ten days later. The palace then became home to the French governor, Charles François Lebrun.
"Prince William VI (son of Prince William V of Orange), returned to the Netherlands in 1813, after Napoleon fell from power, and restored the palace to its original owners. After his investiture as King William I of the Netherlands, however, Amsterdam was made the official capital of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (the seats of government being Brussels and The Hague). The new king realised the importance of having a palace in the capital, and the Town Hall again became a royal palace."

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard bearing no publisher's name. The card was printed in Saxony, although the design of the back of the card looks American.
The card was posted in West Lynn, Massachusetts on Thursday the 1st. January 1914 to:
Margaret Rickman,
56, Fourth Street,
West Lynn.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Love from Blanche".
Inayat Khan
So what else happened on the day that Blanche posted the card?
Well, the 1st. January 1914 marked the birth of Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan, GC.
She was a British heroine of World War II renowned for her service in the Special Operations Executive.
She also went by the name Nora Baker, and was a published author of Indian Muslim and American descent who was posthumously awarded the George Cross for her service in the SOE, the highest civilian decoration in the UK.
As an SOE agent she became the first female wireless operator to be sent from Great Britain into occupied France to aid the French Resistance during World War II, and was Britain's first Muslim war heroine.
Inayat Khan was betrayed to the Germans by a double agent working for the Sicherheitsdienst.
She was arrested and taken to Germany on the 27th. November 1943 "for safe custody".
Khan was imprisoned at Pforzheim in solitary confinement as a "Nacht und Nebel" ("Night and Fog": condemned to "Disappearance Without Trace") prisoner, in complete secrecy. For ten months, she was kept there, shackled at her hands and feet.
Execution
Inayat Khan was abruptly transferred to Dachau concentration camp with fellow agents Yolande Beekman, Madeleine Damerment and Eliane Plewman, and at dawn on the following morning, the 13th. September 1944, the four women were executed.
A Gestapo man named Christian Ott gave a statement to American investigators after the war as to the fate of Inayat Khan and her three companions. Ott was stationed at Karlsruhe and volunteered to accompany the four women to Dachau as he wanted to visit his family in Stuttgart on the return journey. He reported:
'The four prisoners had come from the
barrack in the camp, where they had
spent the night, into the yard where the
shooting was to be done.
Here the death sentence was announced
to them.
The German-speaking Englishwoman told
her companion of this death sentence.
All four had grown very pale and wept.
Khan asked whether they could protest
against the sentence. The Kommandant
declared that no protest could be made.
The four prisoners now had to kneel with
their heads towards a small mound of earth,
and were killed by two SS men, one after
another by a shot through the back of
the neck.
During the shooting the two Englishwomen
held hands and the two French women
did likewise.
For three of the prisoners the first shot
caused death, but for the German-speaking
Englishwoman a second shot had to be fired,
as she still showed signs of life.
After the shooting of these prisoners the
Lagerkommandant said to the two SS men
that he took a personal interest in the jewellery
of the women, and that this should be taken
to his office'.
Poor villager who saw what he shouldn't. The mystical minotaur. And paid for it with his own life. Let his soul rest in peace.

Brutal Execution
Execution of Mary Queen of Scot's painted 1867 by Robert Herdman (1829-1888).
8th February 1587 After 19 years imprisonment, Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded for treason at Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire. She had been implicated in the Babington Plot to murder her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I.
"Mary Queen of Scots was a popular subject for Victorian painters. In this painting Scottish artist Robert Herdman deliberately glamorised the event of the Queen’s execution on 8 February 1587 at Fotheringay Castle, Northamptonshire. Mary was 44 years old and long imprisonment had left her physically frail and aged. However, Herdman shows her looking elegant and beautiful, wearing a black velvet and satin robe with a white crape veil and Italian ruff, holding a crucifix, a rosary attached to her girdle. Herdman gives us a glimpse of Mary’s red petticoat, symbolising her martyrdom to the Catholic faith. He paints her approaching the emissaries of Queen Elizabeth I and the executioner's block. Light from a window dramatically falls on her face, making her appear a saintly figure, an innocent victim. The two ladies at the foot of the stage are her attendants Elizabeth Curle and Jane Kennedy, the man between them is Sir Andrew Melville, Master of Mary’s household. It is thought that the three men to the right of the painting are the Earls of Shrewsbury and Kent and Sheriff Thomas Andrew. The executioner, which one contemporary commentator described as ‘preposterously tall’, is seen from behind, stands with the axe resting on the floor behind him; in the immediate foreground of the painting, it adds further drama and tension to the scene, as does the coffin on the floor to the right.
Since the 16th century there has been a public fascination with the story of the ill-fated Queen of Scots. There has been much debate about her marriages and intrigues, the murders of her husband Lord Darnley and her Italian secretary David Riccio and the extent to which she was powerful political player or innocent victim. She has inspired poetry, prose, theatre, opera and popular song. In 1800 the German poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller produced a play on her. In the Victorian period Mary became particularly romanticised as a tragic heroine, this reinforced by the novels of Sir Walter Scott, which had immense popularity; The Abbott (1820) focuses on the Queen's imprisonment at Loch Leven Castle in 1567, her escape, defeat and flight to England.
This painting was actually an illustration to a poem by Henry Glassford Bell, Sheriff of Lanarkshire:
‘[…] Beside the
block a sullen headsman stood,
And gleamed the broad axe in his
hand, that soon must drip with blood.
With slow and steady step there came
a lady through the hall,
And breathless silence chained the
lips, and touched the hearts of all;
Rich were the sable robes she wore,
her white veil round her fell,
And from her neck there hung the
cross, that cross she loved so well!’
The painting was commissioned by the Glasgow Art Union, along with three other paintings by Herdman depicting aspects of the life of Mary Queen of Scots (The Convent Garden; The Farewell to France; The Abdication Signed; The End - Fotheringay). These paintings were presented to James Blaikie of Glasgow in 1868 in the Glasgow Art Union’s annual draw, the Lord Provost commenting that the later than normal draw for prizes was caused by ‘Mr Herdman not giving in his pictures early enough’ (Glasgow Herald(, 19 August 1868). However, the paintings proved popular and were shown in key northern cities that year: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Manchester and Liverpool, to critical acclaim. They were photographed by Thomas Annan and bound with Sheriff Bell’s poem in a special edition. This painting, which went through the hands of various owners, was bequeathed to the museum by Adam Teacher, one of Teacher’s Whisky family, in 1898. Bequeathed by Adam Teacher, 1898. Robert Herdman
(1829 - 1888) The youngest of a parish minister’s four sons, Herdman attended the parish school in Rattray until 1838 when his father died and the family moved to St Andrews. Aged 15, Herdman went to St Andrews University with the intention of becoming a minister like his father. Painting soon became a dominant interest and in 1847, he went to Edinburgh and enrolled at the Trustees’ Academy where he was taught by Robert Scott Lauder.
Lauder’s influence on Herdman was considerable. More than any other of Lauder’s famous students, Herdman remained faithful to his teacher’s values throughout his career. Herdman was a regular recipient of prizes at the Academy for drawing and painting from the life model. In 1853 he was selected by the Trustees Academy to go to Italy to paint watercolour copies of works by the Italian masters.
Herman completed his training by spending a year in Italy (1855-56) where he studied a variety of sources, ranging from Masaccio and Filippino Lippi, through to Raphael and Tintoretto. On his return to Scotland, Herdman became a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy in London and at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. He became an associate of the latter in 1858 and a full academician in 1863.
He became well known as a portraitist, genre and historical narrative painter, often painting subjects from Scottish history. These were observed through a romantic lens, influenced by Walter Scott, whose works Herdman illustrated for engraving purposes, commissioned by the Royal Association for the Promotion of the Fine Arts in Scotland. His paintings are not historically accurate or intellectual, but tend towards the dreamy and emotional, with a painterly interest in colour." Glasgow collections website.
Elizabeth Brownrigg
There was usually, at least an ambivalent attitude amongst the public towards criminals on their way to execution at Tyburn. Yes, they had committed crimes but everyone wanted to watch the “Hanging Match” especially if the condemned participated in it and behaved bravely. The crowds along the way and around the gallows would tend to be sympathetic to them. However there was absolutely no public sympathy for the lone woman in the cart on the morning of Monday, September the 14th 1767.
She had systematically tortured and abused her apprentice girls, eventually killing one of them. Attitudes to child abuse and murder have not changed over the centuries and people expressed their abhorrence of her crime, praying for her damnation rather than her salvation and saying “the devil would fetch her” and hoping that she would go to hell.
The object of this hatred was 47 year old Elizabeth Brownrigg. She had been born in 1720 to a working class family and as a teenager had married James Brownrigg, an apprentice plumber. The couple had sixteen children, of whom just three survived to adulthood, such was the rate of child mortality in those days.
The marriage was a success and over the years James’ business did well and Elizabeth also ran a successful business as a midwife from her home at Flower-de-luce Court, in London’s Fetter Lane. She was appointed by the overseers St. Dunstan's-in-the-West parish to take care of the poor women in the workhouse which she did very well, apparently showing much kindness and consideration to these women. She decided to take on an apprentice girl to assist her, such was the demand for her services.
Mary Mitchell from Whitefriars was to be the first unfortunate girl to join the family in 1765. She was quickly followed by Mary Jones. Both girls endured frequent physical and verbal abuse, with regular beatings for the smallest mistakes. At this time a young person could join a tradesman or woman for a month “on liking” and if at the end of the month both parties still “liked” each other the youngster would agree to become bound as an apprentice for a period of years.
Initially Mary Jones was treated very well but after her trial period ended she became increasingly abused. She made plans to escape having noted that the key was left in the front door over night and managed to find her way to the Foundling Hospital where she was examined by it doctor who discovered that she was covered in bruises and sores.
The governors of the hospital had their solicitor send James Brownrigg a letter, threatening a prosecution if he could not explain the girl’s injuries. Brownrigg however ignored the letter and it was decided by the hospital to take no further action. (Does this sound familiar in present day child abuse cases?) Mary Mitchell stayed with the Brownriggs for around 12 months before resolving to leave. She too managed to escape from the house, but was spotted in the street by one of the Brownrigg’s sons who forced her to return home, where she was treated with even greater cruelty for having tried to leave.
In the meantime another poor girl was to be apprenticed to the Brownrigg’s by the overseers of the precinct of Whitefriars. 14-year-old Mary Clifford joined the household in early 1766. Initially she too was treated well but as soon as she was legally bound to the Brownriggs, the serious abuse began.
Mary’s stepmother, also Mary Clifford, went to visit her on July the 12th 1767 but was refused entry by one of the servants, who had been instructed to do this and to deny that the girl was there. Mrs. Clifford was not satisfied with this and having consulted with her husband, persuaded Mr. Deacon, the Brownrigg’s next door neighbour to post one of his servants, William Clipson, to watch the Brownrigg’s house and yard.
On Monday the 3rd of August William saw a badly beaten and half starved girl in the yard, so the matter was reported to Mr. William Grundy, the overseer of St. Dunstan’s, who went to the house with Mr. Elsdale the overseer of White-Friars precinct, who knew Mary and demanded that the Brownrigg’s produce Mary, which after an altercation they did. William Clipson however did not identify the girl he had seen in the yard as Mary Clifford (she was Mary Mitchell), so Mr. Grundy ordered a proper search of the house despite threats of litigation from the Brownrigg’s.
Mary Clifford was eventually found locked in a cupboard. Her step mother described her as being in “a sad condition indeed, her face was swelled as big as two, her mouth was so swelled she could not shut it, and she was cut all under her throat, as if it had been with a cane, she could not speak; all her shoulders had sores all in one, she had two bits of rags upon them.”
She was taken straight to hospital while Mr. Brownrigg was arrested but Elizabeth and her son managed to escape. Mary Clifford died in hospital on the 9th of August 1767. The inquest into her death returned a verdict of wilful murder against James and Elizabeth Brownrigg, and their son John. An arrest warrant was issued against Elizabeth and John and adverts placed in the newspapers.
Arrest and trial
Elizabeth and John moved around London disguising themselves as best they could, finally taking lodgings in Wandsworth, at the house of a Mr Dunbar, who kept a chandler's shop.
On the 15th of August Mr. Dunbar read one of the advertisements in his newspaper, from which he identified his lodgers as the Brownriggs. He summoned a constable and mother and son were arrested and remanded to Newgate.
They came to trial at the September Sessions of the Old Bailey on the 7th of that month before Sir Robert Kite. Their case took eleven hours to hear with Mary Mitchell appearing as the star witness for the prosecution.
16 year old Mary Mitchell had been with the Brownriggs for just under two and a half years and told the court that she had been mistreated as soon as her probationary period as an apprentice had ended and that Mary Clifford had began to be abused after the completion of her month trial period when she became legally bound. Mary Mitchell described how Mary Clifford had been beaten over the head and shoulders with a walking cane and a earth-brush by their mistress and also hit by John Brownrigg.
She also stated that Mary Clifford was made to sleep “on boards in the parlour, sometimes in the passage, and very often down in the cellar”. Apparently the girls were often locked in the cellar at night. Somewhere around a year before her death, the then 15 year old Mary Clifford was starving and desperate for food so she broke open a cupboard and was caught. For this she was made to strip naked and was severely beaten. She was now kept locked up in the unlit cellar at nights with no bedding.
Mary Clifford, it seems, was also occasionally beaten by others members of the family. Mary Mitchell described how John had whipped her with a leather belt about the head and shoulders for not making up a bed to his satisfaction. This whipping re-opened wounds from previous beatings. Mary Mitchell also recounted that James had beaten Mary Clifford with an old hearth-brush, but this was the only time she had seen him abuse her.
The evidence against Elizabeth was more damning. Mary Mitchell said that Elizabeth “used to tie her (Mary Clifford) up in the kitchen “when first she began to be at her, she used to tie her up to the water-pipe, with her two hands drawed up above her head.” For these beatings Mary Clifford was stripped naked. Elizabeth beat her most commonly with a horse-whip and “seldom left off till she had fetched blood.”
It would seem that this phase of beatings had begun in the Spring of 1767 and that it was succeeded by tying the poor girl up to a hook which was put up in the kitchen specially for the purpose. Mary Clifford suffered weekly whippings tied up to this hook. Mary Mitchell told the court that no one else in the family normally whipped Mary Clifford, although on one occasion John had taken over from his mother. She also testified that Mary Clifford was chained to a door by her neck having attempted to obtain food and drink one night and broken down some boarding.
Elizabeth was away for about a week during which time Mary Clifford made something of a recovery although her back and shoulders were covered in scabs and bruises. Elizabeth accused Mary of not doing any work while she had been away and on the Friday morning once more tied her up to the hook in the kitchen and beat her. She suffered several more whipping sessions during that day and was left naked through the day and the night. Mary Mitchell told the court that she and Mary Clifford were effectively kept prisoners in the house. Mary Mitchell was cross examined on her evidence by both Brownriggs, but held up well.
Testimony was also heard from James Brownrigg’s apprentice, George Benham who confirmed much of what Mary Mitchell had said. He also told the court that he visited James Brownrigg in the Compter (small lock-up prison), after his arrest, who had told him to go and take down the hook from the beam in the kitchen and to burn all the sticks in the house. He testified that Elizabeth had told him and Mary Mitchell that if Mary Clifford’s stepmother visited the house asking for Mary she was not to be admitted as Elizabeth had told them that “the girl's mother was a bad woman, and might teach bad things to her daughter”.
Evidence was heard from the Overseers and from the doctor at the workhouse hospital where Mary Clifford was taken after her removal from the Brownrigg’s house. William Denbeigh described Mary’s injuries thus : “The top of her head and shoulders and back, appeared very bloody; I turned down the sheet, and found from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head almost one continued sore, scars that seemed as if cut with an instrument upon the body, legs, and thighs; upon one hip was a very large wound; it spread about half the palm of my hand.”
On the 5th of August Mary was transferred to St. Bartholomew's hospital where she was seen by Mr. Young, the surgeon, the following day, who confirmed the medical evidence.
In her defence Elizabeth stated that “I did give her several lashes, but with no design of killing her; the fall of the saucepan with the handle against her neck, occasioned her face and neck to swell; I poulticed her neck three times, and bathed the place, and put three plaisters to her shoulders.” Mr. Young, the surgeon disputed that Mary’s neck injury could have been caused by a saucepan handle.
The Brownrigg’s produced several character witnesses but they were not believed by the jury.
At the end of the trial James and John were acquitted of Mary’s murder but were ordered to be detained on an indictment of assaulting and abusing Mary Mitchell, for which they were subsequently sentenced to six month's imprisonment and fined one shilling each.
Elizabeth was found guilty, and on Friday the 11th of September the judge told her “It is my duty to pronounce sentence in accordance with the law, that you are to be taken from hence to the prison from whence you came; that you be removed on Monday next, the 14th of this instant September, to the usual place of execution, and there to be hanged by the neck until you are dead; your body afterwards, to be dissected and anatomised, according to the statute - and God have mercy on your soul."
In accordance with the Murder Act of 1752, it was mandatory that the body of a murderer should be dissected after execution. It was normal for those being condemned for murder to be sentenced on a Friday to allow them an extra day of life, i.e. the Sunday.
Execution
Elizabeth was taken back to Newgate and fettered (handcuffs and leg irons) in the condemned hold. She was allowed only bread and water. It is reported that she confessed to and acknowledged the enormity of her crimes to the Reverend Joseph Moore, the Ordinary of Newgate, over the weekend. There was a moving scene in the Press Yard on the Monday morning when James and John were allowed to see her for the last time. She embraced John and the three of them prayed together. She is quoted as saying : “Dear James, I beg that God, for Christ's sake, will be reconciled, and that he will not leave me, nor forsake me, in the hour of death, and in the day of judgment.”
Her irons were removed by the blacksmith and her hands and arms tied with cord. The rope placed around her neck and she was put into the cart, accompanied by Thomas Turlis, the hangman, to make the journey to Tyburn. When she finally got there she prayed with the Ordinary and asked him to tell the crowd that she confessed her guilt and acknowledged the justice of her sentence. She was turned off and after hanging for half an hour her body was put into a hackney-coach and taken to Surgeons' Hall for dissection. Her skeleton was later hung up in the Hall as a permanent exhibit. Her execution drew a huge and hostile crowd, such was the feeling against her. Reverend Moore later wrote “This unchristian behaviour greatly shocked me and I could not help exclaiming : Are these people called Christians?”
