Boiling Alive

[edit]

The article says tata swindlers and coin forgers were executed by boiling at Smithfield. I think this method of execution in England was only in force for poisoners, and even then only between 1531-1546. Elsewhere in Europe I believe forgers were subjected to the penalty under the Holy Roman Empire, but not in England. 185.76.230.249 (talk) 13:50, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

[edit]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria due to numerous uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. Is anyone interested in addressing these concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 00:12, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
