EDWARD II 1307 - deposed 1327
Edward was a weak and incompetent king. He had many 'favourites', Piers Gaveston being the most notorious. He was beaten by the Scots at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Edward was deposed and held captive in Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. His wife joined her lover Mortimer in deposing him: by their orders he was murdered in Berkley Castle - so legend has it, by having a red-hot poker thrust up his anus! His beautiful tomb in Gloucester Cathedral was erected by his son, Edward III.

The king was captured and condemned by Parliament in 1327 as 'incorrigible without hope of amendment'. He was forced to abdicate in favour of his teenage son Edward III, and died in Berkeley Castle later that year – according to a story written 30 years later, through the application of a red-hot poker in his rectum as punishment for his homosexuality.

Edward was not a good king, that is a fact, but did he really deserve to be murdered with unspeakable cruelty? How was he killed? Edward II, King of England (gywalgi)
A red-hot poker was thrust into his bowels. His murderers first inserted a funnel in his anus and then thrust the red-hot poker in his body through the funnel, and so his corpse bore no external marks that indicated how he had been killed. It was a singularly evil mockery of his sexuality.
