Mary Blandy was a British woman who gained notoriety for her involvement in a murder case in the 18th century. She was born in 1720 in Henley-on-Thames, England and was known for her beauty and charm.
In 1751, Mary became romantically involved with William Henry Cranstoun, a Scottish nobleman. However, her father disapproved of their relationship and forbade her from seeing him. In an attempt to win back her father's approval, Mary poisoned him with arsenic in a cup of hot chocolate. Her father died several days later from the poison.
Mary was eventually arrested and stood trial for her father's murder. Despite her claims of innocence, she was found guilty and sentenced to death. She was executed by hanging in 1752 at Oxford Castle.
The case of Mary Blandy is often cited as an example of a woman driven to murder by love and societal pressures. Her story continues to be a subject of interest and debate among criminologists and historians.
