Archaeologists believe that bones found in an ancient chapel on the site are those of an English knight named Robert Morley who died in a tournament there in 1388.

He eventually died when he was struck by a sword that sliced through his nose and jaw. His reconstructed skull also indicates that he was lying on the ground when the fatal blow was delivered.

I didn't know tournament fights were fought to the death.

He eventually died when he was struck by a sword

Ah! I see the problem here... swords weren't banned and see what happens?

When will we stop this senseless slaughter?

Another victim of knight on knight violence.

One of the wounds can be seen on the front of the skull

The body was buried at the heart of the royal castle
