Executions as entertainment

The renaissance world lacks known ways to entertain oneself. They didn't have computers or smartphones. Most of them didn't have board games. If we had said that most people in that time couldn't read books, you may ask, what were they doing for entertainment? It turns out that the most popular way of entertainment were public executions. People from all around the city would come over to see the criminalists get beheaded. On that type of "events” you could buy drinks or even souvenirs.
