He was hanged on the 3rd of January 1946, making him the last person to be executed in the United Kingdom for treason.

Early life
William Brooke Joyce was born on Herkimer Street in Brooklyn, New York, United States. Michael Francis Joyce, an Irish Catholic from a family of tenant farmers in Ballinrobe, County Mayo, who had gained US citizenship in 1894, was his father. Gertrude Brooke's mother, who was born in Shaw and Crompton, Lancashire, was from a well-off Anglican Anglo-Irish family associated with County Roscommon.
The family returned to Salthill, Galway, a few years after William's birth. Joyce attended Coláiste Iognáid, a Jesuit academy in Galway, from 1915 to 1921. His parents were unionist and insensitive to Irish nationalism, and his mother, a devout Protestant, and his father was a devoted Protestant. Since she was married as a Catholic, there were tensions between her and her family. Joyce's father owned several houses and rented some to Royal Irish Constabulary members (RIC).
Despite the fact that Joyce was still in his mid-teens, he was recruited by the British Army during the Irish War for Independence by Captain Patrick William Keating as a courier for Intelligence Corps forces stationed in Galway. Joyce was also known to be an informant and contributor to the 1920 murder of Catholic priest and well-known Irish republican sympathizer Michael Griffin by the Auxiliary Division, and was also believed to have links with Black and Tans (reserve RIC constables). Joyce was ordered by Keating to be mustered into the Worcestershire Regiment, bringing him out of Ireland's volatile situation to Norton Barracks in England. He was discharged a few months later after it was discovered that he was underage.
Joyce stayed in England and briefly attended King's College School, Wimbledon. Two years later, his family followed him to England. Joyce had relatives in Birkenhead, Cheshire, whom he visited on a few occasions. He then enrolled in the Officer Training Corps at Birkbeck College, London. He earned a first-class honours degree in English at Birkbeck. After graduating, he applied for a position in the Foreign Office but was turned down and started a career as a tutor. Joyce became interested in fascism and worked with Rotha Lintorn-Orman's British Fascists, but never joined them.
Joyce was attacked by communists on October 22, 1924, while stewarding a meeting in favour of Conservative Party candidate Jack Lazarus ahead of the 1924 general election. It left a permanent scar running from the earlobe to the corner of the mouth. Though Joyce often said that his attackers were Jewish, historian Colin Holmes argues that Joyce's first wife told him in 1992 that "it wasn't a Jewish Communist who disfigured him." An Irish woman knifed him.
