Ancient And Medieval Traitors - Back-stabbers, Turncoats And Conspirators (True Crime) (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
The tale of Salome is not very different from those of other women who have tempted powerful leaders, take for example Delilah who has been referred to earlier in this book. Her motivation for betraying Samson was money, but in this instance it seems to have been Salome’s desire to appease and obey the will of her mother that led to the gruesome death of Saint John the Baptist. John the Baptist was a renowned preacher and a good friend of Jesus. He had invested years into learning and teaching the word of God and as a result he had mustered up a number of followers who were more than happy to support him and fight his cause. At this time the ruler of Galilee was Herod Antipas and it was the fifteenth year of the reign of the Roman Emperor, Tiberias Caesar. Herod had been appointed as a provincial governor of a subdivision of Palestine and was responsible for Galilee. THE ANGER OF HERODIAS It was at this time that Herod made a somewhat controversial decision.
