Best Answer

Regardless of how they are often romanticized in novels, highwaymen were in fact, criminals - they waylaid travelers on the roads and robbed them, oft-times violently. It is safe to assume that many were killed by their would-be victims. If they were caught, highwaymen were most likely hung in a public gallows as a deterent to anyone contemplating this choice of career. Some may have been deported or imprisoned indefinitely but probably died anyway from starvation and disease. I venture to guess that few lived to a "ripe old age" in retirement bliss to die peacefully in their sleep.
