Real Historical Coincidences That Read Just Like Fiction

Patricide is a horrible crime, but for two men with the same name, it was a crime separated by a century. On February 13, 1746, a Frenchman by the name of Jean-Marie Dubarry was executed for murdering his own father. On February 13, 1846, in the same jurisdiction, the French justice system executed another man for murdering his father. That man’s name was also Jean-Marie Dubarry. There is no known family connection between the two killers.
