Depends what you mean by assassinated. Several were killed on the orders of those who would succeed them

“Assassinated” might not be the best term to use, since it can imply a “surprise attack”, although older definition could simply mean “murder”.
Many English monarchs were “removed from power”, with the monarch “dying”.
Charles I, is a notable example, and Lady Jane Grey, and Richard II.
King Harold was also killed at the Battle of Hastings.
Edward VIII, wasn’t killed, he was simply “fired”, or “made redundant”.

Edward chose to abdicate.

>Edward informed Baldwin that he would abdicate if he could not marry Simpson. Baldwin then presented Edward with three options: give up the idea of marriage; marry against his ministers' wishes; or abdicate. It was clear that Edward was not prepared to give up Simpson, and he knew that if he married against the advice of his ministers, he would cause the government to resign, prompting a constitutional crisis. He chose to abdicate

George V

>>214662674
He was also supposedly collaborating with the Nazis to get his crown back, with British intelligence sent to retrieve the communications before they leaked after the war ended.
Basically, whatever the official story is, he was basically “fired” as monarch.

>>214662497
The only one that might have been assassinated was William II in a hunting accident
>>
>>214662276
>was English Bob an idiot?
Yes, that's the whole point of his character. He was a cockney poorfag pretending to be posh who killed harmless chinamen and tried to build a rep out of it. He then got exposed hard by Little Bill

Can't recall many British monarchs being assassinated, in the way he means about US presidents.

all the british monarch assassinations happened pre-16th century. since then the country has been unusually stable.

then another guy did, kicked his ass, and ran him out of town

Mary and James died of natural causes, and Charles was executed, not assassinated. Retard.

He was a legitimately great gunslinger even if some of his stories were embellished. Even Little Bill said so.

Edward II (fruity son in Braveheart, got a hot poker up his ass, died doing what he loved... ok the poker thing might not be true... but it might be)

16th century means 1500s.
Charles I got his head chopped in 1649.
James II was then deposed, (ie. “Fired”), in 1688.
William III supposedly died from Pneumonia, from a collar bone injury, after “falling from a horse”.
Queen Anne died at the age of 49, which also seems suspiciously young.
You need to wait till the Georges before the kings start living till they are decently old again.
George VI then died at the age of 56, allegedly due to illness caused by Tobacco products. (He was outlived by his brother who abdicated).
Honestly, a bunch of the monarchs were probably poisoned or discretely killed.
>>
>>214664314
>Charles I got his head chopped in 1649.
That wasn't an assassination, that was a "legal" execution carried out after a trial.
>James II was then deposed, (ie. “Fired”), in 1688.
not murdered
>William III supposedly died from Pneumonia, from a collar bone injury, after “falling from a horse”.
Completely normal for the time especially with how bad medicine was, not an assassination
>Queen Anne died at the age of 49, which also seems suspiciously young.

She was in bad health her whole life, not an assassination

>George VI then died at the age of 56,

Because tobacco is a famously benign product? Fuck off

if anything it makes the uk seem more lawless lol

How is having a legal proceeding more lawless?

his entire defense boiled down to "God says I can do whatever I want lol".

>>214664415
The English monarchs, people who presumably have access yo the best medical care, and best diets, with the freshest food, were dying around the age of 50.
Yeah, This makes total sense.

George VI dying of tobacco makes no sense, even if you subtract the average decade heavy tobacco use takes from a person’s lifespan.
This us especially suspicious, since Edward VIII, the brother, and previous king, who abdicated, also heavily used tobacco products, which sort of eliminates the likelihood of genetic issues with tobacco use.
>>
>>214664512
>kangaroo court

The king had better representation than anyone up to that point in time. His lawyers were actually allowed to present evidence, cross examine witnesses, raise objections, etc something no defendants in royal courts were allowed to do in that time period.

If anything, Charles I had the fairest trial anyone had ever had up to that point in time in England and he still fucked it up because he would rather lose the case than admit parliament had any temporal power.

>>214664558
> best medical care

The "best medical care" at the time would be more likely to kill you than not

>eliminates the likelihood of genetic issues with tobacco use.

fucking imbecile, you realize even siblings can react very differently to carcinogens right? Two identical twins can smoke and one dies of cancer and the other doesn't.

I swear, the browner the internet gets the dumber it gets
>>
>>214664543
if you're talking about Charles I then it was an illegal court (obviously no royal assent but also the house of lords didn't pass the bill setting up the court) and his refusal to submit a plea to said illegal court was taken as a guilty plea

>illegal

according to whom? Certainly not the parliament of the time, who viewed Charles I and his actions as illegal and even treasonous.
>>
>>214664642
clearly when you put a head of state on trial there are going to be some minor disagreements about where legality flows from.

Yes, obviously, he was an idiot and a fraud, playing up his fake character for Mr Beauchamp to write about
He was showing another angle of the dying Old West, how the general awfulness would be forgotten, instead transformed into glory and heroism
Very meta of Clint
Reminder that a man plotted to assassinate French King Louis Phillippe II using a massive homemade artillery gun with 25 barrels
Since named The Infernal Machine

Because that's when the British monarch became little more than a figurehead.

By a different government after the fact. While Cromwell's government controlled Britain it was deemed legal.
