The Life of a Renaissance Executioner - Franz Schmidt

For 45 years Franz Schmidt worked as an executioner for the city of Nuremberg and fascinatingly for us he left a diary detailing the life of a renaissance executioner. The information in this video comes from the book The Faithful Executioner. It's a great read and not only translates Franz's diary but puts it in its historical context.
