The article says tata swindlers and coin forgers were executed by boiling at Smithfield. I think this method of execution in England was only in force for poisoners, and even then only between 1531-1546. Elsewhere in Europe I believe forgers were subjected to the penalty under the Holy Roman Empire, but not in England. 185.76.230.249 (talk) 13:50, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
