Description
When Englands King Edward IV fell ill at Easter 1483 after coming back from a fishing trip and died shortly after on April 9 it threw a country that had already suffered a series of wars into a state of chaos What exactly killed him is unclear and though some people would later speculate that he had been poisoned there is every reason to believe that he died of natural causes Disease was common in medieval England and doctors lacked much of the medical knowledge now taken for granted The kings spectacular lifestyle had taken its toll and he was significantly overweight so it seems the lifestyle which he thought he had earned as king and which he used to remind everyone of his status was probably his undoing
