Richard Turpin was an English criminal later mythologized as a dashing highwayman. After starting out as a butcher, he became involved in deer poaching, burglary, and horse theft, eventually turning to highway robbery once his gang was arrested in 1735. Using the alias John Palmer, he lived in Yorkshire until suspicious magistrates uncovered his crimes. A letter he wrote from prison revealed his true identity, leading to his conviction for horse theft. Turpin was executed in York on 7 April 1739. His legendary overnight ride on the horse Black Bess was a later fictional invention.
