Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 King Harold, at Battle of Hastings [but he was only an English monarch]? Or one of the Henrys, in a battle covered by Our Own Correspondent W. Shakespeare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Technically, since he hasn't specified "killed by what," the answer is George VI, who was killed by emphysema. Assuming he actually means "deliberately killed by another person" ... the last one that I can think of is Charles I, who was executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 without googling, this is my humble offering when it comes to murder, execution, killed in battle, etc which is what I assume the OP is asking : 1649 Charles I 1483 Richard III 1327 Edward II 1100 William II 1066 Harold II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 forgot Richard I, killed in battle in 1199. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincero dOro Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Technically, since he hasn't specified "killed by what," the answer is George VI, who was killed by emphysema. Assuming he actually means "deliberately killed by another person" ... the last one that I can think of is Charles I, who was executed. But he wasn't in power when he was executed. I would say that there has never been one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunzi Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Lets go for George V Agreed. He was euthanised and essentially still in power when he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 British monarchs started with Queen Anne in 1707 following the Act of Union so any monarch prior to that does not fit the OP's question. It could be George V who was, allegedly, finished off by his doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
