Individual Details
Peter SLINGSBY
(1502 - 24 Aug 1551)
British man, Henry Slingsby, was beheaded by Oliver Cromwell.
Henry’s nephew was actually married to Cromwell's daughter. So she pleaded on his behalf and got the sentence changed from hanged, drawn and quartered to beheading. Which was still terrible, but a better way to go.
Oliver Cromwell in power mid 1640's to 1658.
