In a work of fiction based on a true story, sometimes a Historical Domain Character is killed off in a way which departs drastically from his or her passing in real life. This may be justified if the work is a Secret History or Alternate History; otherwise, it's a rather flamboyant example of Artistic License – History. Top marks if the fictional death differs notably in terms of both cause and date. Note that this trope doesn't cover instances where the death is altered, but is still ultimately recognisable as a fictionalization of the real death. For example, the Hammer film Rasputin the Mad Monk makes some notable changes to Rasputin's historical murder, most obviously replacing his actual assassins with fictional stand-ins and having Rasputin successfully kill some of them before going down, but the sequence is still broadly similar to the accepted account. The inversion of this would be when a historical figure's death doesn't take place when it did in real life - either because the story depicts their historical death as being faked or otherwise misreported, or when it simply avoids the matter altogether. Essentially this is the Based on a True Story version of Death by Adaptation or Dies Differently in Adaptation (or Spared By Adaptation, for the inversion). Might involve Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act. Compare Real Event, Fictional Cause. See also Celebrity Casualty, where a fictional version of someone who's still alive at the time of production gets killed off. As a Death Trope, expect unmarked spoilers ahead. |

In the graphic novel series Chronin, a Japanese-American history student named Mirai from the 2040s participates in a program to travel through time and experience a small piece of history. Unfortunately she becomes Trapped in the Past and her time machine is lost, which means being stuck trying to pass herself off as a Rōnin in Bakumatsu Period Japan, just a few years before the revolution that will depose the Tokugawa Shogunate, restore the Emperor, and begin the process of modernizing Japan succeeds. Mirai knows that one of her fellow students went rogue and became involved in aiding the revolutionaries in an attempt to speed up their rise to power. Imagine her shock when near the end of the first volume she witnesses about a half dozen of the most important and influential leaders of the revolution killed by the shogunate, despite the fact that some of them should not have died for decades and were supposed to have large roles in reshaping Japan after the revolution. With horror she realizes that someone on the side of the Tokugawa has acquired her lost time machine and is determined to make sure that the revolution doesn't succeed. | |

At the end of Salome, both Oscar Wilde's play and the opera based on it, Salome is executed by order of her stepfather Herod Antipas, whose soldiers crush her beneath their shields. Little is known about the historical Salome, daughter of Herodias, but she presumably wasn't executed and definitely didn't die as a young maiden in her mother's household; she was married twice, first to an uncle and then to a cousin, and had three sons with her second husband. | |

Marvel Universe: In The Invaders (Marvel Comics), Hitler is incinerated by the original Human Torch, with his dying words being to tell his aide to tell everyone he had committed suicide. In another comic, he is shot to death... by Deadpool, Cable and the attempted target of this time-travelling Hitler, Nick Fury. (the Führer went to the future taking the time travel suit from a would-be assassin) And brought back to his bunker. The real Elizabeth I died of natural causes, but in Marvel 1602, she ends up being poisoned by Otto von Doom. |

Antony and Cleopatra: Enobarbas simply dies of despair over his disloyalty to Antony, which some productions change to a suicide. The historical Ahenobarbus died of an illness, which was only rumored to have been caused by his remorse. Cleopatra's handmaiden Iras also drops dead with no explanation, presumably also Death by Despair, just before the queen and her other servant Charmian use venomous snakes to poison themselves: according to Plutarch, the real Iras poisoned herself along with Cleopatra and Charmian, and like Charmian she was still alive, though dying, when the dead Cleopatra was found. | |

The Great is by its own admission "an occasionally true story" about the life of Catherine the Great, so this is employed liberally. Two of the most notable examples are Catherine killing the Ottoman Sultannote it's not stated who specifically he is supposed to be and Peter III falling through ice when in reality he was imprisoned and died under mysterious circumstances after Catherine overthrew him. | |

In Vinland Saga, a number of both Danish and English royal figures from the early 11th century whose deaths are not solidly documented get what are probably fake, or at least more dramatic deaths than what happened in real life. King Sweyn Forkbeard, whose cause of death is not known for certain but is generally recorded as having died from falling off a horse, is instead killed by a supporter of his son Canute after the king and the prince became political enemies. While some do speculate about foul play in Sweyn's death, most don't claim that Sweyn was killed by a descendant of a possible inspiration for King Arthur in the midst of a victory celebration. King Aethelred II, who died of disease in real life and had poor health documented for years before his death, is instead poisoned, and disease is just an excuse. Similarly, Aethelred's son Edmund "Ironside" is also strongly implied to have been poisoned. Some of the lurid historical accounts from around that era claim he was violently assassinated while on the toilet, while more reliable ones make no mention of murder, leading most modern historians to conclude that Edmund most likely died as a result of lingering wounds suffered in the wars against Cnut. |

Macbeth: The historical Duncan I of Scotland was killed in battle, but in the play, he's murdered in his sleep by Macbeth. The real Macbeth himself was apparently killed by Malcolm, but Shakespeare's Macbeth is killed by Macduff. Meanwhile, Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth commits suicide offstage after a guilt-induced mental breakdown, while the time and circumstances of the real woman's death are unknown. | |

In The Unknown Soldier #268, the Soldier infiltrates Adolf Hitler's bunker, killing him and assuming the dictator's identity to call off the deployment of a secret weapon. He then makes Hitler's death look like a suicide so people will assume Hitler took the coward's way out. | |

Deadliest Warrior: The show's premise means that any episode that features historical figures going head-to-head will result in one of them dying. Some examples: Al Capone is fatally shot by Frank James, Jesse James' brother. Napoléon Bonaparte is stabbed by George Washington. |

New Deal Coalition Retained: Fidel Castro is killed in a coup by Che Guevara. Augusto Pinochet falls out of a helicopter to his death, though it's suspected he may have been pushed. Hafez al-Assad is arrested and summarily executed by Mustafa Tlass and a group of officers loyal to the latter. Indira Gandhi still dies violently, but the perpetrator is her son Sanjay, rather than some Sikh bodyguards. Richard Nixon is assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald. Ted Bundy ends up becoming president, and is eventually murdered in a conspiracy by his own cabinet when they uncover his crimes. |

Kentucky Fried Politics: Brian Epstein is killed by members of the Manson Family, rather than dying of an overdose that might've been a suicide. Michael Jackson dies when his mansion at Neverland Ranch burns down. Elizabeth Taylor dies in a car crash at 33. Instead of being killed by police, Charles Whitman is shot dead by a sniper in the Cuban War, believed to have been Lee Harvey Oswald. Jeffrey Dahmer is killed by John Wayne Gacy at the age of 17 instead of being beaten to death in prison by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver at 34. Charles Manson is gunned down by MI6 and Interpol agents. Jim Jones still commits suicide, but by cyanide pill in Brazil instead of by gunshot in Guyana. George Lincoln Rockwell is killed in prison by a fellow inmate, rather than being assassinated by John Patler over ideological differences. Jeffrey Epstein dies in a plane crash while trying to flee prosecution. |

The Zone of Interest provides a minor example. In real life, Rudolf HÓ§ss was hanged after the Nuremberg trials. While nothing in the film's ending explicitly contradicts this, he's shown with Blood from the Mouth, an Incurable Cough of Death, and a Stress Vomit that suggests he may be developing some kind of disease or an allergic reaction to the camp's pollutants, before the movie cuts to black. | |

During the course of The Fall, Roy, a crippled stuntman from the early days of Hollywood, spends his days telling a fantastical tale to Alexandria, a very curious five year old girl who is also in the hospital with him. In this story within a story, a group of adventurers band together to seek revenge on a Spanish colonial governor (named Governor Odious), who has wronged them all. Randomly, the group includes a young Charles Darwin, and while there is no given era for the story, the simple fact that Darwin is such a young man probably encourages the viewer to think that of all the characters he at least is safe, since Darwin famously lives into old age. Instead, when an increasingly depressed and bitter Roy abruptly starts turning the story into a Downer Ending where everyone in the main cast dies, Darwin is the first of the adventurers to perish, as he is shot by the bestial soldiers of Odious. This a major warning that nobody is safe. | |

Epic Rap Battles of History: Hitler is chopped in half by Darth Vader, which obviously never happened in real life. Alexander the Great ends up being poisoned by Ivan the Terrible. While there are suspicions that the real Alexander was poisoned, most historians believe he died of disease; in any case, there's obviously no way Ivan was involved. |

Blackadder loved the "secret history" version of this trope. The Black Adder creatively kills off King Richard III in the first episode, implying that he was accidentally killed by his idiot nephew after winning the Battle of Bosworth Field instead of dying while losing the battle. Queen Elizabeth I has her throat slit in the final episode of Blackadder II, with Master of Disguise Prince Ludwig the Indestructible spending the rest of her reign pretending to be her. The final episode of Blackadder the Third sees the Duke of Wellington assassinate the Prince Regent (believing him to be Blackadder) in a fit of rage; Blackadder, who is pretending to be the Prince, decides to maintain the charade. Blackadder Goes Forth had the Red Baron (THE Red Baron) shot with a pistol in a basement jail cell by his British counterpart, Lord Flashheart, during a monologue. |

Ryse: Son of Rome features three of these. The above-mentioned Commodus (here depicted as a son of Emperor Nero), fights Player Character Marius (disguised as the Revenant Zombie centurion Damocles) in the Colosseum, only to be beheaded right in front of his father. Boudica, instead of taking poisons after being captured by the Romans, invades the capital with War Elephants, and after losing a one-on-one battle with Marius, has her head taken off. And Nero, the Big Bad of the game... doesn't lose his head, but he doesn't kill himself as per real life. As a Prophecy Twist on the statement that Nero can only die by his own sword, Marius tackles Nero off a ledge so that he falls and lands on the marble sword forged for a gigantic sculpture of Nero himself, so that he ends up Impaled with Extreme Prejudice. Funnily enough, Marius did give Nero a sword earlier, so that he could Face Death with Dignity... but the Dirty Coward instead ran off to alert his guards, and stabbed Marius In the Back with that sword instead. | |

Adolf: While it seems like Hitler will commit suicide the way he did in reality, he gets assassinated by Acetylene Lampe in the middle of his attempt. That being said, the way it happened leads everyone else to reasonably but incorrectly assume the Führer took his own life, putting it in the Secret History variation of this trope. | |

In Anastasia, Rasputin dies in an accident during the February Revolution; he was actually assassinated a couple of months beforehand. To be fair, the actual cause of his death — drowning in a frozen pond — remains the same. Anastasia herself is given the reverse of this trope, surviving when in reality she was killed along with the rest of her family. But at the time the movie was made, her survival was considered a legitimate possibility, albeit one considered rather unlikely even before someone Finally Found the Body. | |

The Footprint of Mussolini: Miklós Horthy is murdered by the SS after being overthrown, unlike IOTL where he lived until 1957. Adolf Hitler and several other high-ranking Nazis are killed in Operation Valkyrie, a plot they survived IOTL. While Erich von Manstein survived the war IOTL, this timeline sees him executed by the Nazi government. Rudolf Höss and Josef Mengele are killed in reprisals at Auschwitz that never happened IOTL. Multiple high-ranking Nazis, most prominently Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels, are executed at the Nuremburg trials despite not having been tried (at least not there) in our timeline. Mao Zedong is publicly hanged in Shanghai after a trial by Nationalist China. Many of his supporters, meanwhile, are killed over the course of a purge by the PLA: Zhou Enlai is shot in the streets of Beijing in broad daylight, Liu Shaoqui is mauled to death by a crowd, and Deng Xiaoping shoots himself to avoid being murdered or executed. Polina Zhemchuzhina dies in the Gulag. While she was sent there IOTL, she survived her ordeal long enough to be released. Josef Stalin dies when Nikita Khrushchev has him disconnected from his life support. Jackie Robinson is lynched by members of the Ku Klux Klan. Saddam Hussein is shot dead in Mosul and his corpse hung from a lamppost. Gamal Abdel-Nasser dies from drinking coffee poisoned with cyanide. Jiang Qing succumbs to dehydration and exhaustion while hiding from invading Nationalist Chinese forces in a bunker. IOTL, Italo Balbo died in a friendly fire incident in 1940. This timeline's version of Balbo is killed when his plane gets blown up by the vengeful son of a Sicilian Mafioso. Idi Amin is killed in a firefight in Nairobi. Robert Mugabe is killed in a joint Rhodesian-Katangan military operation. |

The infamous witch-hunter Matthew Hopkins probably died of consumption, although one account has him ironically tried and executed for witchcraft by an unnamed individual. The film Witchfinder General ends with him being axed by a fictional Roundhead, before another Roundhead puts him out of his misery by shooting him. (The missing link? The film is based on a novel by Roland Bassett, in which Hopkins is ironically tried and executed for witchcraft by... the fictional Roundhead.) | |

Zig-zagged in the Assassin's Creed series. While most of the villains are genuine historical figures who indeed died around the time the story is set, the parts about them being killed by a white-robed Assassin are, of course, purely fictional. Rodrigo Borgia is poisoned by his son Cesare turning his own murder attempt against him, which was a rumor that many people believed through history, though in truth, he died of malaria, and neither of them really poisoned anyone. His death in the game is instant rather than slow, lingering, and gruesome as it was in real life). Cesare himself is recorded in history to have died in the siege of a particular city, while in the game he is thrown off of its walls. | |
