I like the way you describe the circumstances that led to his death. It irks me as well that people believe that William died from a riding accident.

By the time of his death, he had ruled alone as King since his wife Mary’s untimely death in 1694 and he had been the target of several unsuccessful assassination attempts. Nonetheless, the Jacobites (followers of King James II) merrily toasted to the mole as the “gentleman in the black velvet waistcoat,” for pushing William towards the Grim Reaper – something they had attempted but been unable to do. Image I bought from The National Portrait Gallery, London.

Therefore, I must emphasise again, he died from pneumonia and not from the riding accident! See? The bone was set, i.e it was put back into its original position and was healing. Some extravasated blood was lodged above and below the fracture. Upon laying bare the Right collarbone, we found it had been broken near the shoulder and well set. So, what about the broken bone which has constantly been attributed to his death? Even in our own time, people die from pneumonia regularly throughout the world. He had suffered from chronic asthma throughout his life, and as we know, pneumonia is most likely to occur in those who are elderly, very young, or chronically ill. In plain English, he died from pneumonia: his lungs were in a terrible state. The Heart itself was of the smaller size: but firm and strong. And this we look upon as the Immediate Cause of the King’s death (!) From the ventricles of the heart and the greater blood vessels arising out of them were taken several large tough flesh-like substances of the kind call’d Polypus. The upper lobe on the Left side of the Lungs and the part of the Pleura next to it were inflamed to a degree of mortification. From which upon separation, there issued forth a quantity of purulent or frothy serum. The Thorax or Chest we observed that the Right side of the Lungs adher’d to the Pleura and the Left, much more.

The post-mortem report is rather lengthy, so I will not bore you with details of his healthy spleen and kidneys and brain. Several physicians were in attendance, including William’s favourite Doctor Bidloo, and four surgeons. As I stated above, the King’s body was subjected to a post-mortem examination, which took place on the 10th of March – two days after he had died.
