I read a recent biography of Edward III which claimed he was literally alone when he died except for his confessor.
The biographer in question (Mortimer) has something of a penchant for fanciful phrasing and novelistic stylings.
Can anyone verify if the account is correct - sounds rather unlikely to me.
Didn't his greedy mistress, Alice Perrers, filch everythign she could from him and then scarper?
