This goes way back in time today, and it shows that horrible things happened long ago as well. On this date in 668, Constans II (Constantine the Bearded) was assassinated while bathing. He had been named co-emperor of the Roman Empire in 641. He wasn’t well-liked for a number of reasons, and his chamberlain (the person in charge of his household) was the one who carried out the deed.
