Oh! The death of the Crown at the end of their reign is a tradition
in many kingdoms. I hadn't realized that Ansteorra had ever done this.
For those who might be interested in the various ways that other
kingdoms have killed off their Royalty, sometimes in great
theatrics, sometimes with close to disaster, see this file in the SCA-
STORIES section of the Florilegium:

deaths.

Have there been any other royal deaths in Ansteorra at the end of a
reign?
