In the Middle Ages, I think the French kings murdered slightly fewer of their family members than the English kings, though I haven't actually counted the heads.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Your chances of dying a violent death are 1/500th of what they used to be during medieval times.
There are some examples of medieval kings who were terrible human beings but were nevertheless good kings.
Almost in every kingdom the most ancient families have been at first princes' bastards.
In political and social analysis, we still have not cut off the head of the king.
And they that rule in England, in stately conclaves met, alas, alas for England they have no graves as yet.
Only in the English countryside could violent death remain something that is 'cosy.'
Although the evidence at this trial shows that Charles Manson was the leader of the conspiracy to commit these murders, there is no evidence that he actually personally killed any of the seven victims in this case.
We have to keep in mind that it's not just about the numbers of people who died; it's also the manner which many of these victims met their deaths.
The death of kings can be recited, but not of one's child.
There are many thousands of books on particular assassinations and on the subject in general, but nearly all of them deal with the victims, not the perpetrators.
