About John Dean

John Dean was an 8- or 9-year-old English boy who was hanged during the reign of Charles I. He is likely the youngest person ever to be executed in England. Dean was accused of setting fire to two barns or houses in the nearby town of Windsor, and was subsequently indicted, arraigned, and convicted on the same day, and was "hanged accordingly". It is unknown if anyone was harmed in the alleged acts of arson, but the judge presiding over the case, Mr. Justice Whitlock, said Dean had shown signs of "malice, revenge, craft, and cunning". Even for the time, it was unusual and frowned upon by society in England for someone so young to be executed, but Dean was nevertheless sentenced to death and executed soon after.
