Death of James III

edit

The historical version is hearsay, and seems to have no documentary support. Running down defeated fugitives in the wake of a battle was then commonplace (and worse, see Agincourt), and James was likely no different. To claim this was murder was a romantic fiction, and a more neutral terminology is widely adopted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.68.80.209 (talk) 07:46, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
