The Death of William Rufus, New Forest, England, August 2, 1100

from True Crime Medieval · host Anne Brannen and Michelle Butler

One day the King of England went out hunting, and did not come back, on account of having been shot by one of his hunting companions. Henry, his younger brother, became King in just a few days, and there was no inquest. Nobody at the time thought anything of this, really, because dying whilst hunting in the New Forest was pretty common, but later, lots of people Got Suspicious. We discuss this.  Also the fact that the Face of Lucca doesn't really have anything to do with the Face of Bo.
