From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A footpad is an archaic term for a robber or thief specialising in pedestrian victims. The term was used widely from the 16th century until the 19th century,[1] but gradually fell out of common use. A footpad was considered a low criminal, as opposed to the mounted highwayman who in certain cases might gain fame as well as notoriety. Footpads operated during the Elisabethan age until the beginning of the 19th century. This kind of theft was very common in that period and often related to the crimes perpetrated by the so called highwaymen. Both used robbing on the king's highway, the major street where commercial exchanges took place.
