Queen Elizabeth II attended a funeral blessing for the young Mohegan chieftain Sachem Mohamet Weyonomon, who died in 1736 of smallpox. Although Mohamet died in the City of London, foreigners could not be buried there so he was laid to rest in an unmarked grave in the grounds of Southwark Cathedral. Weyonomon went to England to petition King George II for the return of land that had been taken by British settlers but died in London's smallpox outbreak.

That article worries me a lot, but certainly not because of the the conviction and penalty.
