Everything about Edward Oxford totally explained
Edward Oxford (born
Birmingham,
1822; date and place of death unknown) was tried for
high treason for attempting to assassinate
Queen Victoria in 1840.
The Queen was out riding on
Constitution Hill with her husband,
Prince Albert, on
10 June, when Oxford shot twice at the couple, missing both times. He was seized by onlookers, arrested and tried at the
Old Bailey in July 1840. He was acquitted by reason of insanity and sent to
Bethlem Royal Hospital, where he remained until the criminal patients of the institution were transferred to
Broadmoor Hospital in 1864. Three years later, he was offered a discharge if he'd agree to leave the country. He is believed to have lived out the rest of his life in
Australia.
