The Suffragette Who Was Killed by King George V’s Horse

In 1913, British Royalty would come in direct contact with a changing social order, thanks to a suffragette named Emily Davison. Her death at Epsom Falls would send shockwaves through the nation.

Lol @ 0:44 the guy in the black suit knocks off the hat of his buddy looking at the camera, then gets his revenge xD

This would be Queen Elizabeth's grandfather

Incorrect. She wasn't killed. She died from her injuries 4 days later

Stupidity killed her, not the horse. Get it right.

"As King he is expected to be impartial in politics" ... So the king isn't supposed to care about how his citizens' lives are affected by legislation ? that sounds wrong but okay ...

That’s not politics that’s getting out of abuse

I feel bad for the horse and it's jockey, but I feel sorry for Emily more

Color makes history more relatable and realistic. Without it, it's netherworld, another world, and unadulturated pure fiction.

She gave her life for a noble and worthy cause. Who could ask for more?

Royalty think they are better than the rest of the world...
