An overview of the historiography of Edward II's 1327 death at Berkeley Castle: the near-contemporary chronicles (the 1330s to 1350s) that record the red-hot poker story, and the separate, contemporary alternative-survival tradition (an Italian bishop's letter and the 1338 'William the Welshman' episode).
