This video dives into the documented crimes and legend of Claude Du Vall, England’s most theatrical highwayman. Set during the lawless roads of Restoration England, it captures the danger of 1670s travel. Court records and contemporary pamphlets shaped his criminal reputation. Du Vall’s charm turned robbery into performance and fear into fascination. Public ballads helped transform him into a folk hero. His trial at the Old Bailey sealed his fate.
