Reynold De Chatillon. He was a crusader during the Second Crusade but after years of pillaging Muslim caravans, Saladin had had enough and promptly took action. It was Saladin who had killed Reynold out of retribution for the raids of the cravans and murder of his sister. He and all Templers at the Battle of Hattin were killed and beheaded as a warning and reprisal. Other Christian forces either escaped, were enslaved, or imprisoned. Some were soon released after years of imprisonment including Guy De Lusignan.

Ceasar died from a bunch of dagger wounds. Marc Antony died by the sword, his.

Anne Boylen - 2nd wife of Henry VIII - was beheaded by sword (historically) I believe...I'll have to confirm with the spousal unit.

Richard III was surrounded and killed in battle. Most likely it was a sword.

Davey Crockett Death at the Alamo Crockett was one of the last men standing after the fall of the Alamo. He and six of his men continued to fight until they were surrounded. As Mexican general Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna entered the compound, he ordered the men executed. According to the diary of Mexican soldier José Enrique de la Peña, several Mexican officers hacked the prisoners to death with their swords. In addition it is believed that Jim Bowie (famous for the Bowie knife) was gravely wounded laying in bed when he was bayoneted and slashed with swords by the invading Mexican army. Spanish/Mexicans cowards, cowards them all. www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/alamo/peopleevents/p_crockett.html

Marcus Antonius committed suicide in Egypt on August 1, 30 B.C. by stabbing himself with his sword in the mistaken belief that his main squeeze Cleopatra had already done so. So, let us lift one for old Mark tomorrow.

Dido, the Queen of Carthage, impaled herself on a sword, when Aeneas abandoned her to found Rome. Of course, this isn't necessarily historical.

I'd heard that after they shot him in the head and stabbed him in the back they tied him up in a bag and threw him in a river, and he actually didn't drown but crawled out and froze to death.

I'd heard that after they shot him in the head and stabbed him in the back they tied him up in a bag and threw him in a river, and he actually didn't drown but crawled out and froze to death. AND . . . some people claimed to have seen him alive and well some 20 years later. AND SOME people believe he is immortal and still alive today. crazy, indestructible, Russians who really knows what it takes to kill them. no one died but check out the info on this duel (from wikipedia) 1772: Richard Brinsley Sheridan and Captain Matthews; as the result of a quarrel between the two concerning Elizabeth Linley, to whom Sheridan was already secretly married, both men went to Hyde Park, but on finding it too crowded repaired instead to the Castle Tavern, Covent Garden, where they fought with swords. Both men were cut, but neither was seriously wounded.[1] Sheridan won this duel as Mathews pleaded for his life after losing his sword. They fought a second duel in July at Kingsdown near Bath to resolve a dispute over the first duel. Both men's swords broke, and Mathews stabbed Sheridan several times, seriously wounding him, before escaping in a post chaise to France And this one's great too: 1792: Lady Almeria Braddock and Mrs Elphinstone; so called "petticoat duel"; Lady Almeria Braddock felt insulted by Mrs Elphinstone and challenged her to a duel in London's Hyde Park after their genteel conversation turned to the subject of Lady Almeria's true age. The ladies first exchanged pistol shots in which Lady Almeria's hat was damaged. They then continued with swords until Mrs. Elphinstone received a wound to her arm and agreed to write Lady Almeria an apology and finally some one dies by the sword: Jacques Le Gris was killed by Sir Jean de Carrouges IV in 1386 in the last ever judicial duel permitted by the French king and the Parlement of Paris.
