Jack Ketch was known as
Jack Ketch was known as one of History's worst executioners who performed his duty normally drunk or to a very poor standard. During the execution of James Scott, the Duke of Monmouth this happened and Ketch's failure to perform resulted in almost a riot at Tower Hill. It took a ridiculous amount of swings from the axe to take the life of James Scott, but before the condemned man even expressed concern about the sharpness of the axe.
James Scott, the Duke of Monmouth found himself at the executioners block as he led a revolt and rebellion against the King, James II. He believed he should have been the rightful King but was excluded when his father Charles II died as he was illegitimate. Scott then arrived in England from the Netherlands and he rose a Protestant army against the Catholic King of England, however he was quickly defeated. After this, he was captured after hiding in a ditch and was then taken to the Tower of London to await his execution.
It was said that when Jack Ketch performed the execution, it took around 6/7 swings of the axe to execute James Scott, and more legend around the death of the Duke of Monmouth. He was buried inside the Tower of London's chapel, and allegedly dug up so that a portrait of him could be painted, but this wasn't before his head was sewn back on his body.
