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.

If they were caught, highwaymen were most likely hung in a public gallows as a deterent to anyone contemplating this choice of career.

I venture to guess that few lived to a "ripe old age" in retirement bliss to die peacefully in their sleep.
