The Dark Story of Agnes Magnúsdóttir — Iceland’s Last Execution

In January eighteen thirty, Agnes Magnúsdóttir became the last person to be publicly executed in Iceland — beheaded by axe on a frozen moorland in the remote north of the country, her crime recorded as the willful murder of two men at the farmstead of Illugastaðir. This Victorian true crime documentary tells the full story of the Agnes Magnúsdóttir case: her origins as an illegitimate child fostered across the northern parishes, her years of domestic service, her complex relationship with landowner and self-taught herbalist Natan Ketilsson, and the events of the fourteenth of March eighteen twenty-eight that would seal her fate. Examined through the lens of nineteenth century Icelandic society, Danish colonial law, and the forensic and legal practices of the era, this historical murder case raises questions that Icelandic historians are still debating today. If you are drawn to Victorian true crime, nineteenth century history, and forgotten cases from the margins of the historical record, this is a story that demands to be heard.
