Charles Peace
Charles Peace was a notorious Victorian criminal.
He was a thief, a jail-bird, and a murderer with a talent for playing
the violin. He defended himself at trial - with bravado. He even had
the nerve to ask the Bow Street Runners for street directions.
He plays a small role in The Murderess and the Hangman - at the end of William Marwood's noose!
Peace led an incredible life - before he met his demise - and later inspired countless films and romantic novels.
But in the end, he couldn't escape the Bow Street Runners or William Marwood's hanging hands!
