Christopher Marlowe's death not "unsolved"
Including Marlowe's death seems to me a bad decision. We know who killed the playwright; we have an account how he died; what we don't know have is a plausible motivation for his killing. According to the witnesses in the coroner's inquest, it was a case of accidental manslaughter -- he was caught between two men who decided to pull knives on each other -- but their testimony has always raised eyebrows. The two men involved were rather sketchy individuals, two guys who were known to have committed crimes & were not above stretching the facts to excuse their actions. The fact we lack any solid evidence to contradict their testimony is what keeps historians from calling his death more than "suspicious": Marlowe might have died due to accident, or it was a hold-up, or (as a few imaginative types claim) it was to keep Marlowe from revealing what he had been doing as a secret agent on behalf of Her Britannic Majesty. -- llywrch (talk) 16:30, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Princes in the tower
Why is the Princes in the tower case not on here?

Should the name of the Article be changed?
As the unsolved murders in Northern Ireland are disregarded, would it then be more fitting for the name of the article to be the list of Unsolved murders in Great Britain? R2214 (talk) 04:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
