Food poisoning = accidental death?!

Article scope and title

The current article really only deals with the monarchy of Great Britain. It does not deal with Ireland for example, except where it was same monarch. Also, the title "monarch *of* the British Isles" can be read as a title. I suggest that the title is changed to "monarchs *in* the British Isles" in line with other lists dealing with larger areas such as "Monarchies in Europe". It would be good to add to the article some of the ancient monarchs of Ireland too. Thoughts? --HighKing (talk) 10:09, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Since Ireland is part of the article scope, information on the Irish monarchs and their manner of death should be added. Dimadick (talk) 09:36, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Any thoughts on the title? Specifically "in" instead of "of". --HighKing (talk) 12:25, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Also doesn't include any Welsh rulers except for when those are the same as England's or Scotland's, so "Great Britain" is incorrect there too — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.111.13.191 (talk) 17:50, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

George V

Should he really be listed in the section under assassinations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Animal (talk • contribs) 22:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

No, euthanised maybe, but as it is it is really misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:60:D64:1901:8C91:56DF:2E03:C845 (talk) 10:21, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Accidental deaths

I've moved William III to the "Accidental" section, which I hope will be uncontroversial. On the topic raised above in 2008, I'm not so sure. I think John (Lackland) and Henry I should both be in the same category, having both died of a surfeit (peaches and lampreys respectively). Personally, I would say this is closer to "Natural causes" than "Accident" (a modern coroner would probably bring it in "misadventure"), but other opinions are welcome. If there aren't any, I'll move Henry I back to "Natural causes". Tevildo (talk) 19:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

William I - Died in battle?

Should William I really count as dying in battle? He didn't die until several weeks later and if the thrown from horse theory is true (although it's unclear from accounts when it actually occurred) it could be viewed as accidental. 91.193.116.68 (talk) 12:25, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
