As an American I don't know about British history and infamous people. Today I am very interested in learning about some of the most evil people in British history. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Good grief how can Harold Shipman, Myra Hindley and Ian Brady not be on that list?
Agreed
Videos like this never include the Moors Murderers. I don’t know why. It’s weird. They should definitely be on there
@@helenroberts1107 and there is a film about them too.
Absolutely agree
@@helenroberts1107 Possibly because not all of the victims have been located and don't want weirdos digging in an AONB and the living relatives could become very upset as their loved one doesn't have a known grave and class the moor as it.
Thompson and Venables, Brady and Hindley, Fred and Rosemary West - certainly qualify for this list.
Tyler won't know who King John is unless you tell him "It's the lion from the Robin Hood Disney Cartoon".
I was fully expecting to see Myra Hindley and Ian Brady on this list. They were truly evil.
And maybe the Wests,
Dr Harold Shipman,
Dennis Nilsen,
William Burke
@stephenlee5929 right, but I think a decent "evil British people" would have Myra and Ian featured in it at the very least.
Almost no one has heard of Eadric Sreona. But then this list is somewhat bizarre.
I've heard of him - I don't think of him as evil, he just wanted to always be on the winning side.
Yorkshire Ripper killed in the North of England, Jack the ripper killed in London.
Don't forget the deeds were done 90 years apart.
@@user-qj7et4wv3q And they caught the Yorkshire ripper, eventually
@@stephenlee5929 Very true but did you know that about 18 month before his eventual capture, the police missed an opportunity to catch him in the Sutton Coldfield area, unfortunately he evaded capture. Could have saved a couple of thosecpoor ladies lives if they'd have been a little more aware and on the ball.
And about a hundred years between the two.
Jack the ripper died in new york
I guess a video which views Thomas a Beckett as more evil than Harold Shipman can hardly be expected to hire a commentator who cannot pronounce the word "authenticated", but makes up his own word, and isn't edited out.
In recent years it has been confirmed that it is just Thomas Becket not Thomas a Becket.
@@sammic7492
Came here to say that. Thank-you,🏴🖖
@@brigidsingleton1596 Your welcome.
or Fred and Rosemary West
Yeah, half of these are vague as hell and the list is super bizarre.
Jack the Ripper was never caught and the murders just suddenly stopped after the final one, which was most horrific. There's many theories, but no one knows for sure.
Fun Fact: I am a descendant of one of the lead detectives investigating him.
@@babalonkieAnd for all any of us know, we could be descendants of Jack himself 😈
@@babalonkie Don't suppose they left any notes?
@@ItsDume There are rumours that there's been a DNA match, but don't want to the family, because that brings more weirdos out of the woodwork and who would really want to know?
my gran was in service to Christie, she was very lucky to not become one of his victims.
I always love the introduction, it is like:
Hi everyone, I'm just a random generic default dude who comes from a long line of random generic default dudes.
Now you have done this reaction video Tyler, I suggest a good next one would be titled something like "Britain's most famous serial killers" or "Britain's worst serial killers". I know there's plenty of youtube videos on them and i think there's even a watch mojo one on British serial killers.
If the few included in this video shocked you a bit then you are in for a real shocking when you find out about some of the others not included in today's video.
Tyler doesn't like to do serial killer videos because they tend to get de-monetized. He only does these videos to make money. He has no interest in any of this stuff.
The Moors Murderers, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley are always left off videos and I don’t know why. They tortured and murdered children and one, Keith Bennett has still never been found
Mary Anne Cotton poisoned a number of children in the Victorian era. Joanne Froggatt portrays her in a film. She was a very dark character indeed.
Cromwell is the most important person in all of british history, and this guy literally has no clue who he is.
Or Jack the Ripper! Good job Batman wasn't British - he'd never of heard of him either! Bet he votes Trump! If he's heard of him!
Tyler did a video before about Oliver Cromwell but he just doesn't absorb things..even though he claims he does this to "learn".
I'd substitute important with infamous, he did ban Christmas, Nativity scenes, all fun celebrations and make church attendance compulsory, removed all decoration in them as considered 'Popish' and not inline with his puritan vision of the C of E. Many of the beautiful murals in them have only recently been discovered during renovation and restoration. He was very unpopular in Canterbury and with the Archbishop. As far as I know he never visited, probably feared for his life there, many would have been willing to become martyrs.
Thomas, a becket was not evil , he stood by his principles
He only got the job because him and Henry were drinking buddies and Henry thought he could use him to sway the church in his favour and got mad because Thomas actually did his job properly 😂 it did decend into pettiness which was the downfall but evil? Not exactly
They had the wrong date Jack the Ripper was in 1888 in the Whitechapel district of London he had at least 6 victims (ladies of the night) he removed parts of their internal organs. There were too many suspects and forensics were not up to the task, he just stopped suddenly. One suspect was an American Doctor.
Cromwell and Becket should not have been on the list. I had not heard of Streona either. There is a film about Christie starring Richard Attenborough "10 Rillington Place", I recommend it.
King John did not kill to become King, his brother Richard the Lion heart died abroad, he was also evil. Henry Il was overheard by some Knights saying " who will rid me of this troublesome priest" it was said in frustration, he didn't mean it, he and Becket were close friends. Becket refused to put loyalty to the King above God. His death was brutal and took place in Canterbury Cathedral. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the highest position in the Church of England. Amelia Dyer was not the only killer of children in England. I would have included Matthew Hopkins the Witch finder General and Judge Jefferies to the list.
You should watch the Amelia Dyer documentary! Baby Farming as it was called was a big thing, America had Baby farmers too taking out illegitimate babies from unwed mothers left right and centre.
There is a movie called 10 Rillington Place with Richard Attenborough. Surprised Harold Shipman (GP) was not on the list - check him out
How is Thomas Beckett on a list with serial killers??
Hindley and Brady not on the list but Oliver Cromwell is?? Ridiculous.
How the hell have they got Cromwell (the man who ensured Parliaments existence) and not Harrold Shipman?
What a bizarre list. Cromwell was a ruthless general, but was a rather complex character. Becket, whatever one thinks of him, could not be considered evil. Mosley was never anywhere near becoming PM, his party didn't even have seats in Parliament. He was deeply unpleasant and probably would have been Hitler's front man if Germany won, but he didn't actually do any of those things. Hugh DeSpencer? He was just a kings favourite on the make, who got killed by rivals, no worse than many others. As to have an unidentified man in top place is bizarre. Jack was by no means even the worst serial killer around, it the mystery and setting that gives his crimes their fame.
That's more perspective, but will the sheep understand.
@@user-qj7et4wv3q
Baaaaaarely, I'd imagine?!
And it's strange they didn't say he banned Christmas lol.
@@Billyzgstar I believe the fact was he wanted to but the act of doing so never actually took place, but I could be confused I don't really remember that far back the brains getting a bit doddery now.
@@brigidsingleton1596 took me bit to get that one wiv me tortoise brayn
I’m a Brit, but I’ve never heard of Amelia Dyer. I don’t know what Cromwell and Beckett are doing on this list, maybe it’s our progressive friends trying to rewrite history again.
There’re two films, in one Richard Harris played Cromwell. And and in the other Richard Burton played Beckett.
I remember as a youth in my home county of West Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Ripper being at large.
I've heard of Amelia Dyer, but I can't understand why Cromwell and Beckett on the list.
"Infamy, infamy - they've all got it in for me." The unforgettable and still funny (to me at least!) line uttered by Kenneth Williams in one* of the classic 'Carry On' British film comedies.
*'Carry on Cleo'
That classic line is up there with "To be or not to be", "We will never surrender", "This sceptred isle" and a few others. Probably the only true classic to be comedy.
'Violently executed *as a traitor*' - this means 'hung, drawn and quartered'. Google this if you don't know what it means.
This is rather a weird collection of different definitions of 'evil'.
Amelia Dyer is not nearly as well known as you'd think. I had heard of her, through listening to a radio programme about her- but that was only a few months ago.
The case of the Yorkshire Ripper is sadly almost as well known for the fundemental mistakes made by the police trying to catch him as for the crimes themselves, which meant he was able to continue killing for so long.
Love the made -up word 'authenticicated' in the segment about Thomas Becket.
I also, knew of Amelia Dyer from Martina Cole's documentary Ladykillers (2008) which listed about 10 British female serial killers. This was the first time I heard of her and a few others too.
@@Jinty92 That's where I heard her story too!
#9 was not the only one and these (usually) women existed everywhere in the world. Even in USA.
They never caught Jack the Ripper
I would say Jack the Ripper is infamous not famous
im shocked bloody Mary was not on the list
I think her successor, Elizabeth is certainly a good candidate for the list.
I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth, but I also have a very soft spot for Mary. She never wanted to be what she became. She hoped to be gentle in guiding England back to Rome, but it didn't work out. She also tried to spare Jane Grey. Her husband despised her. And to not have anything to show for all her efforts at the end of her life. So sad.
"Rillington Place" (1971) is an excellent old movie with both Richard Attenborough and John Hurt, they're both amazing in it, thoroughly recommend and you get to see a dramatised version of the story.
Classic
Also the more modern BBC version with Tim Roth and Jodie Comer ..very well acted.
@@nolajoy7759 very good was'nt it , Samantha morton good in it as well but Tim Roth was excellent in it very sinister
It's "10 Rillington Place", it's not so old (1971) and it uses the actual location in Notting Hill (it was demolished shortly after the filming)..
Oliver Cromwell was best known for being Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England Scotland and Ireland after the defeat of King Charles I in the Civil War. He was one of the main signatories on Charles I's death warrant. After the execution of King Charles I, Cromwell led the Commonwealth of England.
If you wanna get picky Jack the Ripper was 1888 not 1889 like it showed on the video lol.
Jack the rippers last Killing certainly was the most horrific because it to place in the victims private lodgings and the killer was able to indulge himself. The victims were Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddows, and Mary Kelly, in 1888. The most likely candidate for the identity of Jack the Ripper was Arron Kosminsky a polish imagrant, but there is still no proof of this. The letters, as far as I know, are fake. The only one the police took seriously was the one sent to George Lusk, along with half a human kidney who the writer claimed to have eaten the other half, saying it was very nice. Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddows were killed on the same night.They called it the double event. Martha Tabram and Alice Mckenzie could also have been Ripper Victims, but this is not certain.
Watch the movie ten Rillington place the original amazing
Lady Killers with Lucy Worsley is a great true crime podcast and went through what happened with Amelia Dyer for all those Brits interested. 😊
Jack the Ripper sent letters to the police, dated 'from Hell'.
Or did he?
They think one of the letters wasn't from him but other might have been.
The jump from 10 to 9 is extreme
King John also lost the Crown Jewels while crossing the Wash from Bishops Lynn to Newark. He died not long after from dysentery.
They are still looking for the Jewels in the Wash.
10 Rillington Place A movie starring Sir Richard Attenborough (brother of Sir David Attenborough) played Christie, brilliantly creepy.
She took babies in for care, known as 'baby farming'.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of the church of England.
Jack the Ripper was never caught, or identified because he was a wealthy member of society or even Royalty, in most people's opinions.
Oliver Cromwell took power after chopping of king Charles 1st head, and was a puritain who banned theatres, dancing, having fun and Christmas!
"10 most evil British people" Tyler: "Oh, this is going to be about serial killers". What did you think it was going to be about? The 10 people who made the nastiest remarks on Twitter? 10 people who did things like steal a child's teddy bear?
Christie had a job either as a part time police officer or maybe as an air raid warden. Either way during air raids he was in a position of power where people would do what he ordered. The air raids also gave plenty of places for dead bodies could be left and death blamed on the bombings in the way bombs kill. Sucking up the air and suffocating was one way apart from blowing you apart.
The home gas at that time was called coal gas and was toxic. Could knock unconscious and ultimately death. Christie and other killers had plenty of opportunities to feed their nasty needs.
Tyler you probably won't read this, but just in case look up the film/movie made in mid 60's titled " Becket"
There is one story about Jack the Ripper being an American Doctor- and another of him escaping to America when the Police were getting close.... I;ll just look up the names - Dr Francis Timblety
prince eddie secretly marrying mary ann kelly seems to make the most sense of how they were able to get away with it while everyone was on such high alert in such crowded areas. no one would stop a royal coach it was the equivalent of a diplomatic ambassadors limousine. as to who was actually killing the prostitutes is open to debate obviously eddie wouldn’t do it himself but someone working for the family. done because she had his bastard child
Jack the Ripper was never identified and people are still trying to figure out who he was.
I don't agree about Oliver Cromwell, the campaigns against the Irish were religious based, the Irish were Catholic and the British were Anglican and the Catholics in Britain had tried many plots to kill British monarchs to reintroduce the Catholic religion as the dominant force (one such plot involved Guy Fawkes. But there were others, including attempted invasions by the French and Spanish, supported by the Irish). Cromwell was a reluctant leader who retired when the Royalists were defeated and the Commonwealth set up, but he was later recalled due to the bickering of politicians, he was a man of his times, such actions as his Irish campaigns were similar to those of the warfare of the age across Europe, it is reckoned that he actually saved many lives after Drogheda as the Irish capitulated and surrendered and were not punished further.
I think a film / `movie` was made concerning the events at "10 Rillington Place." It`s called " 10 Rillington Place."
What's sick about that murderer Christie is that an innocent man was exucuted because of him..
I have been to all the Jack the Ripper murder locations, I did the the Jack the Ripper tour when I was in London once he's a dark tourist attraction now. Also in the street behind the hospital where I was born the Acid Bath Murders happened it's not a very big country there is dark history everywhere.
"Jack the ripper!!!" Classic! 😂😂😂
Cromwell was also a Puritan. 🙂 To learn more about Thomas Becket, watch the movie "Becket" -- great film with Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole.
8:55 'desire to acquire and retain power' - er...he was offered the crowns of England and Scotland (guaranteeing lifelong power), and he still refused to become King or Emperor. He only took power because he thought everyone else was either immoral or incompetent.
One theory re Jack the Ripper was that he was a (albeit deranged ) member of the Royal Family
The eldest son of the Prince of Wales, second in line to the throne at the time.
Another candidate was a royal surgeon.
The problem with this is that you cannot put today's ethics onto the past
No, but then crimes such as the killings of *400 babies* crosses the line whichever the era or it's ethics...
As Tyler intimated himself, that's 'beyond the beyond'.
It's hard to think of worse crimes, yet that killer was lower in the list...
I wouldn't find it easy to compile such a list, in all truth, no matter how many or few there might be, according to their activities.
Tearing down statues originally constructed to commemorate slave owners etc, hardly compares to some of the persons listed here ...with all due consideration to any family and acquaintances of the deceased, of course. 😢🏴😐🇬🇧🖖
13:00
The Danes realized that they could not trust him.
Once a snake - always a snake.
So they cut off his head
During the war of the Roses / English Civil War, Cromwell seized power after defeating loyalist forces and executed King Richard. He was removed from power and the Monarchy was restored.
Is this one of those "use the force harry! A quote by gandalf" style comments? 😂
Cromwell wanted Parliament to be sovereign - not the king.
But then he started acting like the king 😂
I don't think the narrator was very clear about Christie. Timothy Evans, his wife and baby daughter were all tenants in Christie's house, Christie murdered Mrs Evans and the baby daughter, and after Evans was accused of and arrested for the crime, Christie stood as a key witness. Evens was found guilty and hanged, Christie wasn't caught for another 3 years.
There’s always been a rumour that Jack the Ripper wasn’t caught because he was royalty! ❤
Some people would expect dennis Neilson or Jimmy saville on the list ua-cam.com/video/3T-Hy22BwQQ/v-deo.htmlsi=qa1HuYaOJK-WLSx4 there are tv series about both of these individuals. As for Cromwell many people would say he was our attempt at a Republic and was so unpopular that after he died they dug him up and executed the body, his head went missing for a while there is a good story about that….
Eadric Streona was an English warlord who first supported the Danes, then switched to support King Edmund Ironside, then at a crucial point backed the Danes giving them victory. Canute the Danish King was no fool, he knew such a man couldn't be trusted. He had him executed and made Earl Godwin, who had always been loyal to King Edmund and fought against Canute into a one of the most powerful men in the land.
Distroyed friendship in Leeds Bradford area with friend thinking other was The Yorkshire Ripper.
Only because of his religious Quaker upbringing.
OK Tyler, mini history lesson. Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector ( ruler) of England. Thomas Beckett was Archbishop of Canterbury...the most senior churchman and head of the church in England. This video is VERY strange, neither of these people could really be considered as evil ( unless you were Irish in the case of Oliver Cromwell) so I don't understand why they should be on this list when, as other people have commented, we have had murderers who don't appear on the list who were truly evil.
"what a radically different future... For Britain" ... Uhm, if that guy had been their prime minister, the UK most likely would have been on the other side of the war, and given the fact that they were the biggest thorn in Hitler's side for most of it... That sh*t would have affected you, too.
Was in the church where Benedict Arnold is buried the other day Saint Mary’s Church Battersea, by the side of the Thames
Sorry, I've never heard of Eadric Streona or Amelia Wossername before.
Do you know about Robin Hood? There are plenty of movies about him. King John was the one he went up against.
Fred and rose west should be on this list I heard about them years ago and I still remember there crimes today
Jack the Ripper was the first serial killer in the world there are at least 40 movies about it. There are Hundreds of books of theories who they were and why it stopped. Pretty much any movie that has a killer writing to the press is taking this from Jack the Ripper.
Son of Sam, Zodiac Killer...many American killers taunted the police too.
The Jack the Ripper murders remain unsolved.
"Jack the Ripper!" 🤣
It's currently fashionable to hate Cromwell. He was a man of his times and no worse than many others at the time and in some cases better? There are even things attributed to him that were carried out by others, that with a little common sense and study can be seen as obvious propaganda. But that would take a bit of effort and the swallowing of "humble pie"?
Two good things came from King John. He caused Magna Carta to be written and he blost his treasure, so generations of people have hoped to find it.
Poor King John 'Lackland' had a bad press. He had to raise taxes to pay for the ransom of his older brother King Richard 'the Lionheart', which had bankrupted the kingdom. King Richard was not actually a good King - he spent only six months of his ten year reign in the kingdom, the rest of it draining the treasury to fund his Crusader escapades - including being captured and having to be ransomed.
There is a story of John and Richard riding through England and getting a bit lost.
King Richard of England: "Brother, where are we?"
Prince John: "I don't know, Sire. Why don't you ask that English peasant over there? Oh, I'm sorry - I totally forgot - you don't speak his language!"
King Richard of England didn't speak English.
King John did.
@@hypsyzygy506How does anyone know that King John spoke English? I am not saying he didn't. I just wondered how anyone knows. I doubt much was being written in English at the time.
A bit of advice watch the film, 10 rillington place played by richard attenborough, creepy and brilliant.

At some point, it was even suggested that Jack the Ripper was a member of the royal family! Perhaps that was the reason he was never brought to justice ????
Tyler, I've lived in Britain all my life, and I haven't heard of all of these either! It's interesting that they've chosen characters going back over the last Millennia and more, but there is certainly some bias towards the more famous names. Mary Tudor - a.k.a. Bloody Mary, for example, is missing, despite it being known that she had at least 350 people put to death for what she considered to be heresy during her short, 4-year reign; yet they choose Oliver Cromwell's implied but not fully proven crimes over her. Likewise, they feel the need to always include "Jack the Ripper," and his Yorkshire counterpart, even though there has since been others such as Dr Harold Shipman, who are believed to be responsble for far more unexpected deaths than the two of these put together; plus the really henious sexual murder crimes of Fred and Rosemary West, the Moors Murderers and Dennis Nielson. Jack the Ripper was never positively identified incidentally, though the sudden death from what we're told was typhoid in 1891 of the 28-year old Prince Albert Victor of Wales - who was second-in-line to the Throne and widely regarded as one of the suspects, was in itself suspect, if you believe in conspiracy theories...!
Watch the film, 10 Rilington place, spine chilling. In black & white.
It's a colour film.
@@richardjones4466 It is a colour film he must have seen it on a black and white TV.
What a strange list. Some decidedly odd inclusions there.
Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland and always the police’ prime suspect is the most notorious modern serial killer ‘Jack the Ripper’. Kosminski’s arrival in London in the early 1880’s corresponded with reactions in Russia to Jewish terrorist activity that had cumulated in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II by a Jew Vera Figner. Among those leaving Eastern Europe for Britain at that time were malevolent terrorist types such as the Tsar’s murderer and British police were investigating this subversive political activity specifically involving Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia. While it was DNA from the victim’s blood and killer’s semen, isolated on the shawl found by Catherine Eddowes body that identified Kosminski as the ‘Ripper’, its pattern of Michaelmas daisies revealed a murderous ritual punishment schedule meted out towards European Christian woman. The dates of each murder correspond to a Christian festival the sequence he killed in appears as Catholic - Orthodox - Catholic - Orthodox. Here is a case of a Jew specifically choosing ethnic European Christian woman on Christian religious dates for the sole purpose of sexual violation, mutilation and murder. It is difficult to dismiss the charge of ritual murder particularly when related to the current climate, the amount of missing and or defiled children and the Jewish nature of the Paedophile scandal links are undeniable......For the news report search youtube for this video title - 'Jack The Ripper killer identity revealed - Truthloader'.
How the fook was Harold Shipman not on this list?!
Fully certified and long serving Brit here and I've never heard of John Reginald Christie.
Sweeny Todd, the demon barber of fleet street.
Sweeny Todd was fictional
@@helenroberts1107 Thank you, but he did make exceedingly good pies.
Amilea was What Was Called A Baby Farme Dyer 5:46
great film 10 Rillington place should watch it Richard Attenborough its not how many you murder its the way they are murdered thats the difference like Sweeny Todd the barber shop pie maker next door theres a musical with Johnny depp and alan rickman great movie keeps you on your toes
I guess you don't like punctuation! 😆😉
King John was the brother of Richard the lion heart and had to tax the people to pay for his brothers crusade, also this was the time of Robin Hood.
What about Fred and Rosemary West ???
They think JACK the RIPPER died in NEW YORK!
Cromwell was dug up 2 years after he died and was executed by King Charles the second. For executing his father.
You must see the movie Becket
Funny how Eadric Streona sounds a lot like Trumpery!!!
cromwell was a patriot
No doubt about it. So was Hitler. Cromwell was a military dictator. He was no better than the man he replaced.
The joy at hearing Jack was hilarious 😂 the Yorkshire ripper, Peter Sutcliffe was equally as brutal in his dissection of his victims, 🤮
JUST LET THE DAMN VIDEO PLAY!!!!
Jack the Ripper may have been an American !
There are many unproven theories
Quite interesting
Putting Thomas Beckett on such a list is plain ridiculous. No one regards him as evil. His worldly life took place before he was made Archbishop or even a priest and while he was a close friend of the king. In fact that's why Henry wanted him as Archbishop because he thouhht he could conttol him. As soon as he was ordained Thomas radically regormef his life, doing daily penance and givibg away his wealth to the poor. He then stood up to yhe king who wantef to take conttol of the Church for himself. Henry then had him killed, so the evil lust for poeer lay with the king, although Henry later did public penance for his actions. All of Europe quickly honoured Beckett as a saint. This list is wierd and incoherent mixture of people and issues.
