10 strange ways Tudors died


New research into accidental deaths in Tudor England reveals the strange way people died, writes Sean Coughlan.  Oxford University historian, Dr Steven Gunn, has been scouring 16th Century coroners' reports and researching accidental deaths in Tudor England.  These reports revealed an intriguing possible link with William Shakespeare's tragic character Ophelia. But they also revealed examples of some strange and sometimes stupid deaths.

Makes for 'interesting' reading!  Shows that people were just as stupid 500 years ago as they are today!
