From the accounts the queen mother was strangled by soldiers right before Mary's eyes,what a horrific ordeal for the young queen.
* Beatrice Lascaris di Tenda duchess of Milan (1372-1418).
In 1418, on August 23rd , her husband the Duke of Milan Filippo Maria Visconti, without any further inquiries, ordered to arrest the Duchess, charging her with adultery with the musician Michele Orombello and confined her in the prison of the Castle of Binasco.
Beatrice was unjustly found guilty and in the evening of September 13th 1418, in the Castle Square of Binasco, she was beheaded.
Apparently there had been several attempts on the Tsar’s life before the revolutionary's finally succeeded
Count Charles of Flanders' father, King Canute IV of Denmark was assassinated in Odense Cathedral in 1086. It is hard to believe that an assassination would occur in a cathedral, the house of God. It appears as though anything is possible.
Indeed, if the cathedral had partly collapsed due to a bomb that would have wiped out many members of European royal families.
Apparently Ena arrived at their destination with her wedding dress splattered with blood. And then was apparently criticised by some for seemingly remaining cool and collected.
I imagine the wedding would be called off if a deadly attack on a royal wedding happened today. Am I wrong?
Duty first and self second.They attended a State luncheon at which the future George V gave the toast for them both. ‘Not easy’ he wrote ‘after what had happened’. They then went out again by carriage, showing themselves to the people, and following that King Alfonzo visited the wounded. There was a State Banquet that evening, which all the royals and other VIPs attended. So it was what you might call a full day!
Przemysł II - Duke of Poznań from 1257[1]–1279, of Greater Poland from 1279–1296, of Kraków from 1290–1291,[2] and Gdańsk Pomerania (Pomerelia) from 1294–1296, and then King of Poland from 1295 until his death:
