After a last attempted poisoning-this time of Burgundy and Berry-Navarre died in horrid circumstances. Sick and prematurely old at 56, he was tormented by chills and shivering and at doctor's orders was wrapped at night in cloths soaked in brandy to warm his body and cause sweat. To keep them in place, the wrappings were sewn on each time like a shroud, and caught fire one night from the valet's candle as he leaned over to cut a thread. To the King's shrieks of pain, the brandy-soaked cloth flamed around his body; he lived for two weeks with doctors unable to relieve his agony before he expired.
Navarre's death came after yet another assassination attempt, this time involving Burgundy and Berry, and he faced a painful demise at the age of 56. His health deteriorated considerably, leaving him weakened and frail, suffering from chills and sweating profusely. In a desperate medical effort, he was wrapped at night in cloths soaked in brandy, which were sewn onto him like a shroud to keep him warm.
Tragically, one evening, a candle held by his valet ignited the brandy-soaked cloth, leading to horrific burns. The King's cries of agony echoed as he endured two weeks of suffering, with doctors powerless to ease his pain, until he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
