About this listen
On September 21st, 1327, King Edward II of England was officially murdered at Berkeley Castle in one of the most infamous executions in medieval history.
But there’s a problem.
No one ever saw his face at the funeral.
His own brother believed he was still alive—and was executed for trying to rescue him.
Senior nobles and clergy believed the same.
And a letter from an Italian bishop claims Edward escaped and lived for years as a hermit in Europe.
So what really happened?
In this investigation, we examine the evidence behind one of medieval England’s greatest conspiracies—and why the official story may have been staged to protect power, legitimacy, and control.
More importantly, we trace the *playbook*:
• Remove the threat
• Control the narrative
• Prevent independent verification
• Eliminate anyone who questions it
• Lock the story in place
This isn’t ancient history.
It’s a system that still works.
Same playbook. Different century.
