Edward II was murdered at Berkeley Castle in 1327 and buried in Gloucester Abbey (now Cathedral), and the only area of debate so far has been how he was murdered; smothered or red hot poker? Ian Mortimer has gathered compelling evidence that Edward wasn’t actually murdered at all!
Welcome to this interview with historian and author Ian Mortimer in which Ian does not only challenge that Edward II was murdered but what he sees as the reasons the compelling evidence has been ignored by academics for so long.
Ian is the author of multiple history books and is perhaps most famous for his ‘Time travellers Guides.’ Buy Ian’s book, shipped worldwide from Blackwells.
