he was murdered,by sticking a red hot poker up his bum
...a metal one, not the flower!!!
I've just been thinking about this. Who the hell thought "I think I'll murder the King by sticking a red hot poker up his bum as stabbing him in the heart with a knife/sword is a bit boring"?
It was done this way to try and make the death look like natural causes.

A pipe was inserted into the relevant 'cavity' first - and the poker went inside the pipe, allowing the very hot poker to reach the internal organs without visible scorching or marks of any kind to the external body.

And thus, it went down in the anals of history.
Wasn't he killed this way because he was homosexual ?
There's a reasonably based theory that he was not killed in Berkeley Castle as above described but instead lived to old age in Lombardy. Take a peek at "The Greatest Traitor: Bio of Roger Mortimer" by Ian Mortimer. A truly fabulous read.
it's only reasonable if you ignore all the contemporary facts.
wasnt the fatal telegram:

it is good to fear, do not kill the king

OR

it is good, do not fear to kill the king


OK, no telegraphs, and in Latin, but I make no excuses, the level of this column is a little above dung-heap
and they are?????
