His own party killed him in retaliation for the murders of other party members he orchestrated.2. His wife's family killed him in retaliation for grabbing some of the family wealth (which was itself stolen by his wife's family).3. He was a notorious philanderer and an angry, cuckolded husband got him.1. is the most likely but the other two are reasonable possibilities. Anyway, this traitor (oh yeah, I forget to mention that, like his father and son, he committed treason - another fact that is often omitted) is remembered every Heroes' Day, he's on t-shirts and on the money etc.... It's just drama.Yep. That's exactly what we have here.</blockquote>
