Thomas Grey Executed for Southampton Plot

August 2nd, 1415 609 years ago

Thomas Grey, a nobleman, was executed in 1415 for his involvement in the Southampton Plot, a conspiracy against King Henry V of England. The plot aimed to assassinate the king and place Edmund, the disinherited son of Richard II, on the throne. This political intrigue was seen as a significant challenge to the reigning monarch and came to light in the context of Henry's campaigns in France. Grey's execution symbolized the severe consequences for dissenters during this tumultuous period.
