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 15511589
Empress Myeongseong of Joseon Korea 18511895
