Murder

On the morning of March 23, 1665, George was found stabbed to death in his bed, an exact scenario of the death of his brother, King Eduard V, less than eighteen months earlier. The Royal Guard was stumped; Eduard's alleged murderer had been hanged a year before, and the Secret Police had not caught wind of any plots on the king's life. An investigation was ordered, but no traces of any strange individuals were seen entering or leaving the palace during the night, and there was no sighting by the ground guard, of anyone climbing or entering the window. Georg was buried at the Royal Masoleum near Schloss Hanover.
