In the Forteenth century, King Edward II reigned in England and was deposed, to be succeeded by his son, Edward III. The King was imprisoned in Berkeley Castle and instructions were that no one should harm him. When the decision was made to murder him, no mark was to be left on the body. A deer horn was inserted into his rectum and a red hot poker was placed inside that. His ghostly screams are said to be still heard in the castle.
