During the Tudor period and the reign of King Henry VIII, the Tower of London became a notorious site of execution and torture. Within the fortress' walls, torture devices such as the Rack would be used and also two of Henry VIII's wives were executed. But it was during Henry VIII's reign that one woman escaped the Tower of London, helped by a Beefeater/Yeoman Warder who was supposed to be keeping her under lock and key. Alice Tankerville (who was sentenced to death for stealing a huge amount of money from the King) fell in love with her Jailer, Beefeater John Bawd. The pair then came up with an elaborate plan to escape, however the attempt resulted in three of the Tower's most brutal executions.
The escape attempt failed as John Bawd and Alice Tankerville were captured by the Nights Watch. But Alice's husband who was also sentenced to death for stealing from the King was also captured. Alice and her husband John Wolfe were hanged in chains and drowned as the River Thames rose throughout the day. However John Bawd the guard, was racked on the brutal torture device and then was hanged in chains, being left to succumb to his fate on display above the walls of the Tower of London.
