MIND-BLOWING Secrets of King Erik's XIV Revealed - (P.1/2)

Описание: MIND-BLOWING Secrets of King Erik's Palace Revealed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sweden’s King Eric XIV managed three years on the throne before losing his mind. From the start of his reign in 1560, Eric had had a fractious relationship with the country’s nobility, in particular with his half brother John. After three years rubbing his nobles up the wrong way, Eric tipped into full-blown insanity, becoming ever more violent and paranoid. He became convinced that a prominent noble family called the Stures were plotting against him and had several members of the family imprisoned in 1567. However, he quickly came to the conclusion that incarceration wasn’t enough and decided to have them murdered instead.
The head of the family, Svante Stensson Sture, a prominent statesman, was killed by prison guards on the orders of Eric, as were four other members of his family including his son Nils, who was brutally stabbed to death by Eric himself. This led to open conflict between Sweden’s nobility and Eric, who was eventually dethroned and imprisoned by his brother John in 1569. The former king languished in prison for the next seven years before being put out of his misery in 1577. His body was exhumed in the 20th Century and forensic scientists determined that Eric had died of a lethal dose of arsenic. The legend has it that his last meal was a poisoned bowl of pea soup.
