Berkeley Castle

by illumina - last update: Jul 26, 2006

Edward II was murdered at Berkeley Castle, at the orders of his wife Isabella and her lover Roger de Mortimer. This photo shows the room in which the deed supposedly took place. His murderers didn't want to leave any visible mark on his body, so after failing to kill him by starvation or illness, they finally (and famously) used a red hot poker...
Every year since 2001, Berkeley Castle has been the site of 'Joust', a medieval festival.
