Shouldn't historians be able to answer the question: how do you know that?
Edward 2 is still alive, he meets his son in 1338, posing as William the Welshman. After the meeting:
'All we may say is that, wherever he [E2} was taken, he lived out the rest of his days in peace'. No footnotes, no references. No evidence.
How do you know that?

"With a pitiful heart, he knew what he had to do." Not only does it read like a novel but the author is mysteriously able to interpret actions and record thoughts. So much of the interpretation assumes the reader accepts Mortimer's theory that Edward 2 was not murdered and Edward 3 knew. Having read Phillips' 'Edward II' first, in which this idea was carefully refuted, doesn't help. Struggling.
