They had folk ballads about various murders, printed broadsheets, public hangings were treated like festive occasions, people would try to get souvenirs of hangings and murders, there was merchandise made that featured a famous murder, plays were performed about it, etc. etc. Grim, but just shows you how far back this activity went. People just forget that it's not a new phenomenon on Youtube and in podcast form.

I forgot about public executions and "souvenirs"! My brain slots those as history and not true crime. But yes, people have literally torn the bodies of executed prisoners apart, not for any kind of revenge, but because everyone wanted keepsakes, collectibles, or even medicine. Before policing (and even for a while after) people would just walk into crime scenes and start taking things because they're from a crime scene. We're such a macabre bunch.

Well, just because something's historical doesn't mean it's not also true crime. Crime isn't a strictly 21st century thing.

As for souvenirs, check this out - it's not conspicuously gory, but it's weird that it exists. If you didn't know it was about a famous murder, anyone would think it's just a cottagecore-ish collectible:

True, I was just explaining that I forgot about it because my brain has it labeled as history, so it doesn't come to mind immediately when I think true crime.
