A humorous deep-dive into the varied—and oft-gruesome—deaths of the king and queens of England and Scotland.
How 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 ever-present threat of poison that the kings and queens of old faced.
From the "bloody" fascinating story behind Oliver Cromwell's 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 IV's remarkable skin condition and the red-hot poker up Edward II's rear end, Mortal Monarchs captivates, grosses-out and informs.
In school, many of us learned the dates they died and who followed them, but sadly never heard the varied—and oft-gruesome—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.

History, under a different lens, is a fresh perspective on how these leaders passed away and a new understanding of medical practices, disasters and triumphs during the not so modern era of medicine. Dr. Edge reads and provides a professional view. Very articulate and pleasant listen. Proper inflection and tamber of her reading provides excitement and reverence for the subject matter. It’s as if you are sitting at the dinner table with her or sitting outside on the porch swing just talking to your incredibly smart friend.
I thoroughly enjoyed the read and have listened more than once, every time gleaning some new kernel of information I missed the time before. She gives a technical, yet common knowledge approach to her subject matter not leaving the listener confused and frustrated trying to understand medical jargon.
Wonderfully different aspect to history and medicine. Thank you Dr. Edge!
