Assassination – the murder of a prominent person, often for political motives. These calamities shock the world and can change the course of history. But as we will learn from the following shocking accounts, violence can only beget more violence. And the aspirations of assassins have a tendency to backfire, sending political causes flailing backwards and provoking even more outrage, heartache and death. Let’s take at look at 4 royals whose lives were cut suddenly short by assassination:
King Henri III of France 1551-1589
Empress Myeongseong of Joseon Korea 1851-1895
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria 1863-1914
Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl of Burma 1900-1979
