Christopher Marlow: Death in Deptford

The untimely death in 1593 of Christopher Marlowe robbed English literature of one of its greatest dramatists - a man who mentored and influenced no lesser figure than William Shakespeare himself. But it wasn't illness or war that took Marlowe's life - it was violent, bloody murder done in circumstances and for reasons that still cause heated debate. Was Marlowe a spy, done away with by the authorities? Was he killed because of unpaid debts? Or because his plays were seen as Catholic propaganda by a fiercely Protestant regime? Was his death ordered to prevent him revealing that several Privy Councillors were atheists - a crime at the time? Or, most intriguingly, did he fake his own death? It's a fascinating story and we'll examine each theory in detail.

King Edward II: A Mysterious Death

The effeminate and weak son of the warrior king Edward Longshanks met a death almost too horrible to contemplate in Berkeley Castle in 1327 (it involved a red hot poker). This is a simply extraordinary tale of sexual shenanigans and medieval politics - but is the awful story of Edward's death actually true? Or is it another example of powerful medieval propaganda?

Arthur of Brittany: The Boy Who Should Have Been King

Bad, bad King John - the treacherous brother who tried to take his brother King Richard's throne while he was away fighting during the Crusades. John is something of a pantomime villain these days and his popular image as a selfish, cruel, tyrannical, violent man is largely true, although he was well-read and a capable administrator. But did he personally murder his errant nephew Arthur of Brittany to prevent him from succeeding to the throne of England. It's a great story, shocking if true - but is it?
