lady betty of Roscommon sounds like an urban legend or something. Has anyone found evidence of other lady executioners in Great Britan, even if they served only briefly ?

<br>: lady betty of Roscommon sounds like an urban legend or something. Has anyone found evidence of other lady executioners in Great Britan, even if they served only briefly ?<p>I'm not sure that anyone has actually proved the existence of Lady Betty of Roscommon. I know there was some interest over the last year or so as Roscommon Town gets ready to restore the Jail and make it a tourist attraction, and into apartments as a "tax free zone."<p>It would be nice to find out if those Roscommon folk established the historical record or consigned that story to legend.
