Best Answer

Dick Turpin was born in 1705 and worked as a butcher after following his father's footsteps as a butcher. But he's like "Man, being a butcher stinks!" but not in the exact words. Anyway, he became a poacher and poached and stuff until an notorious gang called the 'Essex Gang' side up with Dick here and the crew began to rob and stole and fought travellers. However, when the authorities saw them Dick Turpin managed to escape while the members was caught and probably hanged for highway robbery.

Afterwards, Dick side up with Matthew King and then they rob travelers at gunpoint until Dick accidently killed Matthew by shootin' him (it might not be an accident, btw). So Dick ran to Yorkshire and changed his name to John Palmer. He was trying to steal chickens (probably to make chicken wings) until he was caught by an farmer. He wrote a letter to his brother about freeing him (I think) but his brother was a... DICK! (HAHAHAHAHA) and didn't want to pay for something like postage or something. Unlucky for Dick Turpin here, Dick's teacher, who taught him how to write, was at the post office and he saw the handwriting and are like "That's not John Palmer's hand, that's Dick Turpins!" he cried and he gave it to the authorities. So Dick Turpin was captured and hanged in April 7th, 1739 which makes him 33 years old.

-Note-

The information is actually true. I just added some humor in it because, why not right?.
