Tudor True Crime: The Baron, the Grudge, and the Double Murder

Welcome to another chilling instalment of Tudor True Crime with me, historian and author Claire Ridgway. Today, we uncover the dark story of Charles Stourton, 8th Baron Stourton—a nobleman whose pride and rage ended in cold-blooded murder… and a very public hanging.

What started as a bitter land feud
Escalated into a siege at a church
Ended with two bound men, a candlelit killing, and a secret burial in the cellar

But someone talked—and justice was swift.

Join me as I delve into this gripping tale of power, vengeance, and the brutal fall of a Tudor peer.

Listen to the end to find out why even a baron couldn’t escape the hangman’s rope.
