Historical Royal's Not So Quietly Expiring

 Being Royalty comes with a lot of obvious perks but there is no escaping death and it is assumed that Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully in her bed surrounded by her family but History Books show that some of the previous British Monarchs were not content with quietly expiring but went out in a way so ridiculous that people would have talked about them for years even if they hadn't been Royals which actually makes their stories that much more badass and disgusting.
King Harold II is probably the most famous Royal death with the arrow in the eye which inspired far too many 'keep your eye out for those archers' jokes but James I of Scotland's death came when he attempted to escape his assassins by running into a sewer, remembering only once he was in there that he had it blocked up three days earlier as it run under his tennis court and William II was shot and killed by his friend who aimed an arrow at stag whilst they were out hunting but missed and got the King in the chest instead. Obviously the friend panicked, run off and left him there and some locals found the dead King and returned his body in the back of their cart days later.
Richard the Lionheart also received an arrow in the chest when he came across a young archer on a French Castle's battlements, the boy was batting away arrows with a dented frying pan and the King laughed so much he dropped his shield and the lad took the opportunity to fire an arrow through him.
King Alexander III of Scotland met his end falling off a cliff whilst out walking in the dark while Mary Queen of Scots death was a lot more gory, losing her head on the third stroke of the executioners axe, the first two missing her neck and hitting the back of her head and the Scots continued their run of stupid Royal deaths when James II of Scotland took delivery of his new canon, stood too close to it when it was test fired and according to the history books 'was stricken to the ground and died hastily' which Duncan I of Scotland also did when he became the first victim of friendly fire in battle, which involved 30 of his own men accidentally stabbing him repeatedly in the head.
Toilet's play a part in some Royal deaths, King John died of diarrhea after eating too many peaches, a very constipated George II had a heart attack while straining on his Regal lavatory and Henry I indulged in a hearty meal of lampreys and then indulged in a sudden and very smelly disturbance in what passed for a toilet in the 12th Century which leads us nicely to the two most icky Royal deaths.
Edmund II was known as Ironside but unfortunately for him his sides may have been made of iron, but his bottom certainly wasn't as it was speared while sitting on the toilet by a man who was lurking underneath it but the most grisly end of any British monarch has to be Edward II who was killed by his estranged wife who hired some men to kill her husband but not just any old death, they put much thought into it.
Not wishing to leave visible marks of murder on his body, they held him down and shoved a red hot poker up...well you can guess where they shoved it but it was said that his screams were heard, not unsurprisingly, far beyond the Castle walls.
I guess knowing how some of her relatives went to meet their maker, the Queen avoiding the bathroom and quietly expiring in bed was a good choice.
