History does not record the name of the Executioner. He was probably a regular officer of the ( English) Royal Army or the equivalent Police or constabulary force, it is doubtful a mere yeoman of the beat= or beat err, Bobby ( a term not then used) would have been assigned this morbid task. The execution took place at Fotheringhay Castle- which no longer exists. The Ax-wielder was allowed three strokes ( seems like Baseball, dudn"t it) the first stroke may or may not have dispatched the hapless Queen, it certainly made her unconscious= strike two completely severed the head from the body and when lifted by one of the guards, her red wig fell away also- a third stroke was deemed not necessary- Mary was a lifeless wreck.
