Vincero dOro 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 But non of those were British monarchs.

Badlittlepup Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Depends what you mean by 'killed' if you count a mole as a killer then William the III as he was killed by his horse hitting a mole. I've had look and I'm not sure if Charles I was deposed or not when he was executed but I assume he was, as were Jane Grey, Edward the V, Henry VI, Richard II, Edward the II when they were killed. So I'm guessing if you don't count moles Richard I was killed by an arrow hit at Chalus-Chabrol so I'll say him. Before that there was William the II who was hit by an arrow while hunting, probably murdered by his brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It think it was more a case of putting him out of his misery, it was on an episode of QI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFKvsNixon Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Put us out of our misery. It was George V in 1936! He was killed by a lethal drug overdose administered by his doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanes teeth 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. There's no "allegedly" about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
