Queen Victoria survived eight plots while the present Queen Elizabeth II has survived three. William II was accidentally (?) killed hunting while two Anglo-Saxon kings were also murdered - one of them while he was in the loo!Several of these stories such as the Gunpowder Plot are well-known, but how many people know about the Ridolphi or Babington plots?
