We created an A to Z of words that made us think about something we’ve learned about the Victorians, and used them for inspiration to write our blog posts. Some links are more obvious than others, but all of our posts are original, interesting and the result of our hard work! Enjoy 🙂

In Victorian times, there were a lot of assassins (otherwise known as killers) who stalked in London mostly at night. It was struggle being an assassin because you didn’t have much of anything so they had to steal things and kill people.

Assassins have to start somewhere, so they prepared by making tools or making tools better. They first had to buy/mine some stone and some wood and get it back to their house. Then, they had to make it so the wood supported the stone wheel so it can still spin. Next they would start spinning the wheel to sharpens their knives. After they are done with that, they would crush up some blackberries and turn them into a dye and dye his clothes. Finally, they would be finished.

Now they would have to get to their target- the palace! They would have to climb over the rooftops or else risk being caught by the bobbies (and it would be easier than trying to navigate through the crowds of people).

When they reached the palace, they would have to find a way in. So, they might take the window panes and jump down, sliding straight behind the guards and successfully getting past.

So far so good. Now our assassin puts his hand on to the door handle… but then, right at that moment, he was spotted by a guard!

This was the end of the assassin… he was executed in front of everyone. Now hopefully you understand how hard it was being an assassin.
