When you try to keep a King alive, could you be killing him with kindness?

In this installment of Expert Witness, we speak to historian and Patreon regular Tim Cloke about the gruesome death of Charles II. How did poison play apart in his demise and was his medicine a cocktail in the making???

This episode was originally recorded in August 2020 for Patreon, and the sound quality is a little different due to remote recording so please excuse minor glitches.

About Expert Witness: In these bonus episodes we interview different experts from a variety of backgrounds about cases on our show and about the world of true crime, Victorians, literature, and poison.
