R. Mark ClaytonI'd have charged her along with him. (takes two to tango)
The offences of piracy on the high seas, arson in her majesty's dockyards and high treason used to carry the death penalty after its abolition for murder.
High treason was
killing or trying to kill the sovereign or immediate heir adultery with their [female consorts]
