65. King Lambert is Assassinated (or not), Marengo, Italy 898

from True Crime Medieval · host Anne Brannen and Michelle Butler

After a short (he was 18) but eventful and busy life, Lambert, King of Italy and Holy Roman Emperor, was assassinated during a boar hunt. That's one rumor. The other rumor is that he fell off his horse and died. Evidence? Witnesses? Nah, not really. But we both have an opinion on this, which is that a story that has a king sleeping on the ground during a boar hunt is fundamentally flawed, and we don't buy it. On the other hand, Michelle found two translations of the chronicle which tells us these rumors, so she had a very good time.
