It is believed that Edward II was killed by having a red hot poker put up his @#$%^ region, but the possibly real, possibly fake Fieschi Letter suggests otherwise.
Given that that was nearly 800 years ago, and given that Edward III behaved as though his father were dead, and he were the king, i don't think it makes a hell of a lot of difference.
@Setanta,
Quote:as though his father were dead, and he were the king,
Is this a hypercorrection or a nonstandard dialectal difference?
