Executed kings and queens are history's greatest reversals: one morning the law is whatever they say it is, and soon after, the law kills them. This show tells the true stories of executed monarchs, one scaffold at a time.

Each episode reconstructs one royal execution in full, cinematic detail: the reign that made enemies of the wrong people, the capture and the trial no monarch believed could happen, the last night, and the morning the sentence was executed before a silent or roaring crowd. No host chatting between clips, no panel debating divine right. Just one complete story, narrated start to finish, built from trial records, ambassadors' dispatches, and eyewitness accounts of the scaffold.

You will watch kings executed by their own parliaments, queens executed on evidence forged by their rivals, and emperors executed in cellars far from any court. Some episodes follow the trial session by session; others trace the civil wars that put a crowned head on the block. All of them treat executed monarchs as what they are: the moments when subjects discovered that thrones bleed.

If you are drawn to royal history at its most dramatic edge, this is built for you. New episodes drop regularly, each one a self-contained fall from throne to scaffold. Subscribe now so the next of the executed monarchs lands the moment it goes live.
