Dick Turpin:
Dick Turpin is the most famous
highwayman of them all. During
his last crime he got caught
stealing some chickens, and he got
caught by a postman delivering
some mail, but there was a slight twist,
Dick Turpin changed his name to John palmer so everyone
thought it was an innocent man. He was around in the 16th
century and wad hanged in 1821.He and his gang once went
around town stealing from every farmhouse they could find. The
last fact is that he was on a highway (street), and he saw a
women walking down the highway, so he robbed her (although
highwaymen weren’t allowed to do that) and he got a
WOPPING£700 off of her!!!
Highwaymen & Footpads:
Now on to highwaymen and footpads.Now, you are all asking yourself “What is a footpad?”
well, a footpad is a highwayman nut without a horse, they have to go around on foot which
won’t be very good when you are on the run from the cops!
Highwaymen were meant to rob the rich to help the poor, which they never done (they will
end up like avid Becham In no time at all…)
