Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the gripping and tragic narrative of Charles II's death from chronic kidney disease, uraemia, and convulsions in 1685. The author, a medical doctor, re-examines the deathbed accounts from a medical perspective, particularly the claim that Charles was poisoned. The book uses historical and medical evidence to unequivocally establish that the King died of uraemia, not apoplexy as previously believed, and discusses the historical confusion and misinformation regarding the cause of death. It also analyzes the King's falling health in the months leading up to his death, and examines the political and religious implications of his passing.
