The Great Fire of London: The Innocent Man They Hanged

<p>In September sixteen sixty-six, a single spark in a Pudding Lane bakery became a firestorm that devoured most of London — thirteen thousand houses, eighty-seven churches, and old St Paul's itself. But the official death toll of "just six" hides a darker truth, and so does the French watchmaker who confessed to a crime he couldn't have committed.</p><p>Host August Mercer walks you through the four days that erased medieval London, the Lord Mayor who went back to bed, and the innocent man hanged to calm a terrified mob. This is Six Feet of History — five minutes of the past they'd rather you forget.</p><p><em>Follow for a new story every day. A Dark Whisper Studios production.</em></p>
