Bit stacked with 20th century figures, and seriously, Jane Fonda? She took a trip to Vietnam. What about Stauffenberg? It does not matter what you think of his boss (Hitler), he tried to kill him on several occasions, during a declared war. THAT is far more serious than sitting in an AA emplacement. I mean, you have Fawkes (who actually did nothing, at the end of the day).
And the Rosenbergs? There is a certain amount of evidence that they were framed, essentially.
But essentially with 2-3 exceptions-including Judas, who is not very well historically verified, outside of the Bible, and who based on new documents (i.e. the “Gospel of Judas”) may not even have committed treason at all, but been following orders- this is all 20th century and mostly Americans.
What about Louis XVI? Or Ignacio Allende? Or Anne Boleyn? Or Sir Walter Raleigh?
Sorry, but not a terribly comprehensive list. You did try, though- I’ll give you that.
