_Where was Edward II. killed?_--Hume and Lingard state that this monarch
was murdered at Berkeley Castle. Echard and Rapin are silent, both as to
the event and as to the locality. But an earlier authority, viz. Martyn, in
his _Historie and Lives of Twentie Kings_, 1615, says:
"He was committed to the Castle of Killingworth, and Prince Edward was
crowned king. And not long after, the king being removed to the Castle
of Corff, was wickedly assayled by his keepers, who, through a horne
which they put in his," &c.
What authority had Martyn for these statements?
