May 24, 2021 at 21:49 comment added Jehanne19 D'Arc Who was the assistant executioner seems of more interest to me somehow. Rombaud did not bring an assistant from France and as the English assistant did not speak French, he had to be rehearsed in his role beforehand. I believe that it was Thomas Cratwell, executioner for London who would otherwisw have gotten the task. (He was executed himself about two years later as a felon!). I believe that the breakdown in communication between himself and Rombaud almost snagged the execution at the last second and is alluded to in the 1969 movie "Anne of a Thousand Days".

Oct 3, 2019 at 5:21 comment added user12387 The scarcity of materials is incurring very confusion. Even @sempaiscuba 's execution list is not enough to say that the executioner Jean Rombaud is the line of official executioners' family ( Why on the earth Jean is standing alone in 1530 at Saint Omer as the executioner of Saint Omer? Only other 2 are from late 1700's to 1800's.
Oct 2, 2019 at 6:21 comment added Evargalo Welcome on History.SE. Right now, there are four (related, but different) questions in this question. Can you concentrate on one of them ? If need be, open a second question to ask for another point you are interested in...
