Opis

A king's death was a highly dramatic moment, often with major political consequences. This is an account of what is known about the deaths of medieval kings, whether natural, violent or accidental. It shows how contemporaries and later writers, including Shakespeare, drew morals from such deaths and about the characters of individual kings.
