Do you acutally think that Kind George was beheaded? I remembered the story about Queen Anne of Scotland was beheaded. King Henry VIII ordered angrily because she was an adulteress. King Henry VIII was such a PIG!
No king of England has been beheaded since Charles I, and that was with an axe. Ann Boleyn was beheaded by order of Henry VIII because of assumed adultery, and Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded by Elizabeth I because she was seen to be a threat to England. There now, end of the lesson.
That device is a guillotine, by the way - not used in England, ever. That’s probably supposd to be King Louis or another peer of the realm during the time of the French Revolution. Executioner’s dress looks more mediaeval than 18th century, though.
Oh, now I get it, it’s a joke!

I wonder…if we still had death penalty (in Europe), how would they advertise for new hires and what kind of health & safety regulations would apply.
