Jack Ketch, one of history’s most infamous executioners.

Jack Ketch, one of history’s most infamous executioners, is often remembered for his clumsiness and brutality. Serving as the official executioner in late 17th-century England, Ketch gained notoriety for his botched executions, which were marked by multiple blows and prolonged suffering of his victims. His most infamous mishandling was the execution of James Scott, Duke of Monmouth, in 1685, where Ketch required several blows to sever the duke's head, causing immense pain and public outrage. Ketch's reputation for incompetence and cruelty became so notorious that his name became synonymous with executioners in general, often used as a derogatory term in literature and popular culture.
