About This Book

A focused historical and legal investigation of the monarch's death during the 1718 siege, weighing the prevailing explanation of hostile fortress fire against the rival theory of a deliberate assassination. The author reconstructs the siege operations, presents and critiques eyewitness testimony and contemporary reports, examines wound descriptions and projectile possibilities, and reviews later forensic observations and exhumation evidence. Attention is given to ballistic and positional analysis of the battlefield and to how narratives were shaped by participants. The study consolidates documentary and testimonial material to assess causation and culpability while avoiding a singular, definitive verdict.
