Medieval Murder Mysteries
King Edward II: A Mysterious Death
Not Rated
S1 • E2 Nov 16, 2015 60mThe effeminate and weak son of the warrior king Edward Longshanks met a death almost too horrible to contemplate in Berkeley Castle in 1327 (it involved a red hot poker). This is a simply extraordinary tale of sexual shenanigans and medieval politics - but is the awful story of Edward's death actually true? Or is it another example of powerful medieval propaganda?
