English Jesuit
Priest Edmund Campion was hanged, drawn and quartered because Queen Elizabeth
I’s Government changed a key document used in the prosecution. The government
were so determined they added his name to a list of hundreds of English
émigré priests accused of conspiring to overthrow the English Monarch.Priest
Edmund Campion was tied to a wicker hurdle that was dragged along the roads
through London to the place of execution. He and two others were then hanged
and cut from the gallows. Our Head of Criminal Law, Andrew Parker, has acted in
many murder cases but never with the prospect of the client being killed by the
state. In Your Defence.
