DEATH AND BURIAL OF HENRY I | Gruesome dead body story | How Henry I died | bizarre cause of death

Описание: A BIZARRE cause of death & a GRUESOME dead body story. That’s what’s in store for you today on History Calling as we look at the death and burial of Henry I; a King who suffered one of the more famous royal deaths in history after supposedly overindulging in a surfeit of lampreys and whose corpse managed to kill a man! If you’d like to hear one of history’s many strange stories about royal bodies, never fear, you’re in the right place with this English royal history documentary.

After looking at how Henry I died in 1135, what killed the King and whether the lamprey story is really true, we’ll also learn how bodies were prepared for burial in medieval times, especially the bodies of royalty (prepare for more gruesomeness) and at where different parts of the King were buried, as not all of him was interred in the same place or even in the same country. I’ll explain why the burial was delayed for several weeks and what this meant for the corpse and tell you what the King wanted done with his body as well as the extent to which his wishes were carried out. Finally we’ll look at what happened to Henry I’s grave in Reading at the time of the Reformation in the 16th century. Get comfy and put any food you’re eating to one side; this is a story involving lots of gore and which provides a cautionary tale about why you shouldn’t delay burying a body for weeks on end.
