Show notes

On an early morning in the year 1671, a 53-year-old man named Thomas Blood enters the Tower of London to perform perhaps the most daring heist in the history of humanity. A lifelong nemesis of the English crown, Blood and his brigade of bandits channel their rage and do the impossible: Steal The Crown Jewels. Throughout his life, Blood's misadventures prove to be so bold, dangerous and deliciously audacious, they're still making historians scratch their heads 350 years later.
