The Strangest Queen Deaths That Still Haunt Us

It's not easy being queen. Sure, it often comes with a pampered life and fabulous fashions, not to mention power, so it appears enviable. But there are downsides to being at the top, like an arranged marriage, pressure to produce heirs, lack of privacy, political and family drama, and enemies around every corner plotting to take your place. And a queen is expected to present a regal image and a brave face even when her world is falling apart. Many queens died at the hand of their closest relatives, or the effects of being a political pawn. Others succumbed to enemies. And some died from natural causes, which could be pretty horrific in previous centuries. Weird History explains the deaths of ten queens of the past who died under rather strange circumstances.
