Secrets of the Crown: Explore Mind-Boggling Royal Conspiracy Theories!
The Truth Behind the Gossip
The rumor that a hostile foreign power poisoned James is contested by historical evidence and the understanding of his health. James I suffered from poor health throughout his life. Contemporary accounts and medical examinations post-mortem suggest that his death was due to natural causes, with no conclusive evidence of poison.
Additionally, the political climate, while full of conspiracy, did not escalate to the assassination of a monarch, especially given the extensive security measures protecting James. His death, which occurred after a long period of illness, aligns with the medical understanding of the era, pointing towards a natural end rather than a secret murder plot.
