Summary: Palace Found (Press, 24 May 1988)
Archaeologists have discovered the remains of King Edward II's 14th-century palace in London, believed to have been a place where the king spent time with his male lover before being overthrown by his wife. Historical accounts suggest that Edward II was murdered in a brutal manner involving a red-hot poker. Alongside these significant findings, the excavation site has also revealed the foundations of a house previously owned by Sir John Fastolf, who is thought to have inspired Shakespeare's character Sir John Falstaff. The discoveries provide valuable insights into the lives of historical figures and the societal context of the period.
