Description

A brilliant, funny and thoughtprovoking book Jonn ElledgeCompelling, provocative, and utterly brilliant Dr Estelle ParanqueTHIS PAPERBACK FEATURES ADDITIONAL MATERIAL ON HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH IIHow the monarchs of England and Scotland met their deaths has been a wonderful mixture of violence, infections, overindulgence and occasional regicide. In Mortal Monarchs, medical historian Dr Suzie Edge examines 1,000 years of royal deaths to uncover the plots, accusations, rivalries, and everpresent threat of poison that the kings and queens of old faced.From the "bloody" fascinating story behind Oliver Cromwells demise and the subsequent treatment of his corpse and whether the arrow William II caught in the chest was an accident or murder, to Henry IVs remarkable skin condition and the redhot poker up Edward IIs rear end, Mortal Monarchs captivates, grossesout and informs.In school many of us learned the dates they died and who followed them, but sadly never heard the varied and oftgruesome way our monarchs met their maker. Featuring original medical research, this history forms a rich record not just of how these people died, but how we thought about and treated the human body, in life and in death.
