Description
A fascinating look at the often-gruesome end of England's and Scotland's monarchs is offered in Mortal Monarchs. Medical historian Suzie Edge examines 1,000 years of royal deaths, uncovering the plots, accusations, rivalries, and threats of poison that the kings and queens of old faced. From the circumstances surrounding Oliver Cromwell's demise to the unusual cause of Henry IV's skin condition, Edge's history forms a rich record of how these people died and how we thought about and treated the human body, in life and in death.
