The HORRIFIC Execution Of The Abbot Of Woburn Abbey

During the reign of the notorious and brutal Henry VIII, there were a huge number of executions carried out in England. Henry VIII changed the treason laws to the point where simply criticising the King could result in someone being executed. But one of the most terrifying things that the King did was the Dissolutions of the Monasteries. This was where Thomas Cromwell and the King shut down the abbeys and monasteries all around the country and stole the land and wealth that these possessed. Because of this, the King got very rich but many people were made homeless. There was one Abbot who initially supported the King's changes, and Robert Hobbes was the Abbot of Woburn Abbey. However as the King targeted and persecuted many monks and abbots, Hobbes' opinion on Henry VIII changed. Cromwell dispatched inspectors to Woburn Abbey, and it was found that Hobbes supported those who were rebelling against Henry VIII. But he was then arrested and was sentenced to death for treason, before he was brutally executed. Robert Hobbes was hanged, drawn and quartered in front of Woburn Abbey and his execution was incredibly savage. Join us today as we look at, 'The HORRIFIC Execution Of The Abbot Of Woburn Abbey.'
