Edward Dun
Edward Dun, also referred to as Squire Dun, was an English executioner who served as London's 'common hangman' from 1649 to 1663. He assumed the post shortly following the death in June 1649 of Richard Brandon, the headsman believed to have executed Charles I. He was succeeded as 'common hangman' by the better-known Jack Ketch, who had been his apprentice.
