A character, for one reason or another, assassinates the King, the Emperor, the President, that one powerful guy whose position has massive mystique and glamor and charisma attached to it, no matter how badly they chose to use it. Usually the one to kill him is of the Praetorian Guard or someone equally close and trusted. However, it doesn't need to be a betrayal: it could perfectly well be an absolutely lawful execution after a fair trial. It won't matter to the people. They have slain a King. The reason why killing a monarch has always been such a big deal is twofold: one aspect of it is that before the rise of nationalism, the monarch was the carrier of the state's sovereignty (afterwards, it was the people through the social contract). In simpler terms, the monarch was their country, so anyone attacking them automatically set themself against all the state institutions. Likewise, any revolution against the King was effectively de-legitimizing all the institutions (Church, Army, Titles) that had formerly depended on royal patronage, or which had legitimized royalty before. Kings who ruled by Divine Right were likewise considered to be ruling with God's approval—and anyone attacking an anointed monarch automatically infringed upon God's prerogative of deciding who is a suitable ruler and who should go. This is especially the case in nations like England and Russia, where royalty was part of the Church hierarchy as a whole. However, there were some theoreticians who allowed Tyrannicide. Additionally, monarchs had very good reason to disapprove of regicide, even towards rival monarchs, since they obviously wanted to discourage any thoughts of disposing of monarchs in general. This is one reason why killing a president (while a serious crime and probably high treason — as is the murder of any high-ranking state official) does not pack the same punch in modern days, even if some Presidents have become glorified into King-like figures. However, because attacking the person and office of the King is essentially an action against the state, people in modern societies are not too keen on stories about attacking royalty either, even more so when royalty is brought to trial, since that would imply that any and every head-of-state and their respective governments can be brought to trial. A precedent which even the most advanced democracies are rarely interested in putting into practice or enforcing for a variety of reasons. Expect them to never be allowed to forget it, and carry this moniker or a variation thereof for all their lives, if they don't get executed for it. In some instances this is an attempt to get a Klingon Promotion, possibly involving The Coup. May overlap with Hero Killer. Someone aiming to Kill the God is not satisfied with mere mortal monarchs, though the tropes may overlap if they target divine monarchs. This trope also usually doesn't apply to killing a King in battle. In this situation, the character is not the Kingslayer, but rather The Usurper (if they get Historical Villain Upgrade) and The Conqueror (if they get Historical Hero Upgrade). This is because there is a sense that defeat in battle and in combat is considered "fair play" as opposed to killing a King by assassination, or even by trial and legal execution. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. Examples |

Star Trek Online: Chancellor J'mpok of the Klingon Empire attained his current post by killing Chancellor Martok under questionable circumstances in 2393. To wit, the two went into a closed-door meeting to try and avert a civil war in the Empire after a long power struggle between the pro-Federation moderates led by the House of Martok and the traditionalist Klingon hardliners under J'mpok. Three hours later J'mpok emerged saying Martok was dead and that he was now chancellor. This did absolutely nothing to end the power struggle: J'mpok's supporters naturally claim that he killed Martok in honorable combat, but Martok's widow Sirella has sworn revenge. Years later, the truth was ultimately revealed - J'mpok did kill Martok in honorable combat, but Torg of House Torg hijacked his body, revived him and tortured him. When Martok came back to the Empire, he decided to let J'mpok keep the position because he really didn't want it back. | |

The unnamed King in King's Heir: Rise to the Throne is killed very early in the story in a coup. The coup also involves pinning the blame on the Ulmer brothers, one of which is unknowingly the true heir to the kingdom, although the person who actually killed the king is Badrick, the Queen's brother. | |

Seth Rollins is a giant Game of Thrones fan, and so in his storyline feud with Triple H (known as The King of Kings), he began talking about how he was going to become "the Kingslayer". He debuted a new "Kingslayer" shirt (which also had a red lion on it) and upon his Wrestlemania 33 victory over HHH, has been officially dubbed this by the commentary team. | |

In Crusader Kings ascension by assassination is a regular occurrence. Getting caught at it significantly impacts your relations with other rulers and vassals. And if the victim was a relative and you get caught you gain the Kinslayer trait that permanently lowers your Diplomacy rating by 3. The sequel gives you a unique sobriquet (defaulting to "the Kingslayer", probably as an ASOIAF Shout-Out) if you execute your own king or emperor rank liege. | |

The prologue of Assassin School shows that John Tanner was slain by the Red Units after the destruction of a universe, truly showing their villainy.

Honor Harrington: King Roger III of Manticore officially died in a grav-skiing accident, but Manticore's security agencies are privately well aware that it was an assassination by the People's Republic of Haven in hopes that Queen Elizabeth III would be more pliable. This backfired, resulting in Elizabeth openly hating Haven. Haven's next attempt to annex Manticore, during the main series, is a straight-up invasion and a miserable failure. At the end of The Short Victorious War the Citizens' Rights Union led by Robert Pierre executes a coup d'etat against the government of Haven, killing Hereditary President Harris and most of his family with an airstrike at the outset and taking out the rest of the Legislaturalist class in the following purges. They then frame the People's Navy for the whole shebang as having attempted a Military Coup. |

Heimskringla: Three years after King Olaf Haraldsson's death the Battle of Stiklestad, Kalf Arneson, one of Olaf's chief enemies at Stiklestad, conspires with other Norwegian chiefs to bring back Olaf's son Magnus from exile, overthrow the Danish rule, and make Magnus king instead. Kalf is subsequently one of Magnus' closest advisors; however their relationship deteriorates until Magnus forces Kalf to visit the battlefield of Stiklestad with him and tell him how his father Olaf died. From Kalf's account of the scene, Magnus realizes that Kalf witnessed Olaf's death up close and takes this as evidence that Kalf himself has given Olaf the deadly wound. Kalf denies it, but fearing Magnus' anger he leaves Norway to live in exile. Years later, Magnus' successor Harald (Olaf's half-brother) allows Kalf to return on the condition that Kalf must join Harald's war expeditions; soon after, Kalf is killed in battle with the Danes under circumstances that suggest Harald was trying to get him killed. | |

The title character in Richard III is an accomplished kingslayer: in Henry VI Part 3 he personally murders Henry VI (having already taken part in the murder of Henry's son and heir), and in his own eponymous play he arranges the murder of his nephew, Edward V (along with the many other non-kings he kills or has killed). He manages to avoid falling victim to the trope himself, though, as he's killed in battle (as he was in Real Life). | |

Dream SMP Technoblade has killed 4 people on the SMP while they were in positions in power: he accidentally killed Schlatt, the Emperor/President of Manberg, when the latter got caught in the crossfire of his Secretary of State, Tubbo's execution; he killed Tubbo again after he was named president by Wilbur after they retook L'Manberg from Schlatt's dictatorship; and he assassinated George after Dream made him king of the Greater Dream SMP. The latter two are not considered canon deaths, though. Quackity also gets in on the action after one mistreatment too many by his boss and romantic partner, assassinating Schlatt while escaping Manberg after his resignation as Vice President, resulting in the loss of Schlatt's second canon life. |

Kvothe, the protagonist of The Kingkiller Chronicle, alludes in the telling of his story to this happening (but as a trilogy in progress, we won't find out how until the third book comes out.)

Final Fantasy XII has the infamous knight Basch fon Ronsenburg, universally despised for murdering King Raminas after the king's surrender to the Archadian Empire at the end of the war two years before the main plot. The murder, motivated by misguided patriotism, ended up serving as a pretext for the Empire to assume complete control over the kingdom as its own province. Turns out the poor guy didn't do it, and rather than being executed as is publicly believed he's been locked in a dungeon for the past two years. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, Patch 2.55 ends with Nanamo Ul Namo, sultana of Ul'dah, apparently murdered by a poisoned drink and the Player Character and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn blamed for her death. However, the Heavensward expansion reveals that it was subverted — Lolorito of the Syndicate learned of Teledji Adaledji's plan to murder Nanamo and was able to have the poison swapped with something that simulated death. He claims he would have cleared the heroes' names had they not bolted, but seeing as Lolorito is a massive Jerkass, it's hard to believe he would have done so. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In The Silmarillion, the dwarven jewelsmiths who killed the great elven king Thingol. It started the whole Elves Versus Dwarves shtick in the whole of Middle-Earth (and, after that, in many other fantasy universes that ripped off the Elves Versus Dwarves shtick from Professor Tolkien). Now that is a regicide with repercussions! It takes a king, Isildur, to slay Sauron, the Sorcerous Overlord of the dark forces in the backstory of The Lord of the Rings. However, Sauron's One Ring of Power acts as a Soul Jar, keeping him kind of sort of alive until Frodo Baggins goes on a journey to Mount Doom to destroy the Ring. Ultimately, though, it's Gollum who destroys the Ring and Sauron—and he does it completely by accident. |

Skyrim: Just prior to the events of the game, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak set off the Civil War by killing Torygg, the High King of Skyrim. Skyrim is fiercely divided on whether this was a lawful duel for the High King's throne in the old way (as Ulfric and those under his banner see it) or a murder and usurpation of the throne due to Ulfric's use of the Thu'um against Torygg (as the Empire sees it). The climax of the Dark Brotherhood questline has the player contracted to assassinate Emperor Titus Mede II during a state visit. Titus chooses to Face Death with Dignity, requesting only that the player next turn their blade on the person who requested his death. In the backstory, the Dark Brotherhood is also responsible for the assassination of Emperor Pelagius in the 3rd Era. |

Warcraft: Garona Halforcen killed Stormwind's King Llane between the events of the first two games, right in front of his son, Prince Varian. She had actually formed a bond of trust between them but due to magical controls placed on her mind, when the Shadow Council directed her to kill the king, she had no choice. Warcraft III's human campaign ends with Arthas, post-Face–Heel Turn, murdering his father, the king of Lordaeron, to cement the Undead Scourge's takeover of that part of Azeroth. "Kingslayer" is a title which can be earned in World of Warcraft for killing the Lich King. |

In the Star Trek Novelverse Federation President Nanietta Bacco survives one attempt on her life by a Breen assassin in Cold Equations: Silent Weapons, which proves to be part of a ruse to divert Starfleet. She's then successfully assassinated in The Fall: Revelation and Dust at the new Deep Space 9's opening ceremony. The Tzenkethi are initially fingered (like the Breen, they're members of the rival alliance the Typhon Pact), but in fact it was done by the True Way (a Cardassian terrorist group) with the connivance of Councillor Ishan Anjar of Bajor who was trying to bring about a more militaristic Federation regime (ironically to protect Bajor from the Cardassians). | |

The Mountain and the Wolf: During his duel / Villainous Breakdown with the Wolf, Euron claims to have killed a king. The Wolf asks if it was through poison or paid assassins, then counters that this puts him in the company of an old woman (Olenna Tyrell, who had Joffrey poisoned), a one-armed man (Jaime, who killed Aerys the Mad), and a pig (the boar that killed Robert Baratheon). Oddly enough, in a later conversation with Jaime the Wolf doesn't seem to know about the deed for which Jaime became infamous (to be fair, he had two hands at that point). | |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: During Zant's takeover he has the ruler of the Zoras, Queen Rutela, executed as an example to her people prior to freezing the Zora's Domain over. She appears as a spirit to Link, asking him to help her son, who is now the last member of the Zora royal family. |

The season 5 episode "The Trial" explores this further, where a Zircon suggests that one of the other Diamonds was involved in Pink Diamond's death. Later, the actual answer is that "Rose" was Pink Diamond's Secret Identity, which she assumed after Faking the Dead. | |

The Saga of the Jomsvikings: Palnatóki, foster-father to the young Svein Forkbeard, instructs his foster-son to raise a rebellion against his own father Harald Gormsson, King of Denmark. In the night after the first (indecisive) battle, Palnatóki sneaks near Harald's camp and kills him with a well-aimed arrow. With Harald dead, his troops submit to Svein, and Svein is made king. As king, Svein hosts a remembrance feast for his father at which he presents the arrow which killed Harald and interrogates all guests about what they know about Harald's murder. Palnatóki bluntly admits that he killed Harald, upon which Svein at once (even though he owes his kingship to him) wants him killed. Palnatóki and his men can escape from the hall, but go into exile and never return to Denmark. | |

Come The Shadow of Revan, though, it turns out he's Not Quite Dead, and now his spirit has escaped into the galaxy to get up to who knows what sort of mischief. Happens again in Knights of the Fallen Empire where the Outlander kills Emperor Valkorion, and Valkorion happens to be the Sith Emperor's latest incarnation. He is imprisoned in carbonite, but Valkorion resides in the Outlander's body. They finally finish the deed for good at the end of Knights of the Eternal Throne. |

In Wings of Fire, this is the traditional method of royal succession for most of the dragon tribes: a daughter, granddaughter, sister or niece of the queen may claim the throne by challenging the queen to a duel to the death and defeating her. The main conflict of the first story arc, the War of SandWing Succession, was caused by Queen Oasis being killed by a human, leaving her three daughters to start a civil war for the throne, eventually dragging the other tribes into it as well. | |

In Mentats of Dune, Josef Venport, the director of Venport Holdings, the only foldspace company to use Navigators, lures Emperor Salvador, whom Venport views as weak and incompetent, onto Arrakis and leaves him in a spice harvester to be eaten by a sandworm. Despite Venport's best efforts, Salvador's brother Roderick discovers Venport's role in Salvador's death and declares him an outlaw as soon as he's crowned Emperor. In Navigators of Dune, Roderick sends a sizable chunk of the Imperial forces to take Korhal, the headquarters of Venport Holdings, punish Josef Venport, and learn the secret of creating Navigators. However, the EsconTran foldspace carrier ends up popping up in the Korhal system too close to the sun and is destroyed along with over a hundred Imperial warships. For his part, Venport simply can't understand why Roderick is taking Salvador's death so personally. After all, Venport is the one who's responsible for the much more competent Roderick becoming Emperor and hopes they can work together to crush the fanatical Butlerians, who are responsible for the death of Roderick's daughter. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books: The In-Game Novel 2920: The Last Year of the First Era, Loosely Based On An In-Universe True Story, ends with the assassination of Emperor Reman Cyrodiil III by the sister of his ex-mistress, in revenge for her unjust execution for treason. This happens with the backing of the Dunmer assassins' guild, the Morag Tong, with the tacit support of the Akaviri ambassador who then takes over rulership of the Empire as Potentate. A few hundred years later, the Colovian King Cuhlecain, with the aid of his Dragonborn General Talos, had re-captured the Imperial City and was preparing to take the throne as Emperor, the first since the death of Reman III. However, a Nightblade from High Rock assassinated Cuhlecain and attempted to assassinate Talos, slashing his throat (which prevented him from using the Thu'um ever again.) Talos survived and would be crowned Emperor in Cuhlecain's place, taking the name Tiber Septim. (At least, that's the story according to Imperial orthodox history. More "heretical" stories say that Talos had a hand in the assassination, and may have even murdered Cuhlecain himself in order to usurp the throne.) In Oblivion, the main antagonists are the Mythic Dawn Apocalypse Cult, who become notorious in the opening for successfully assassinating Emperor Uriel Septim VII, along with his three publicly known sons, as part of their plan to allow a Daedric Prince to invade Nirn. This notoriety lasts for hundreds of years (as you find out if you do a particular sidequest in Skyrim). During the 200 year Time Skip between Oblivion and Skyrim, the Thalmor assassinate Potentate Ocato (who served the latter Septim Emperors as High Chancellor and Imperial Battlemage) as part of their grand scheme to destabilize the Empire. It works, as no other ruler is able to hold the crumbling Septim Empire together again. The Thalmor, now the leaders of the Altmeri government, secede from the Empire, annex Valenwood, and re-form the Aldmeri Dominion of old. Skyrim: Just prior to the events of the game, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak set off the Civil War by killing Torygg, the High King of Skyrim. Skyrim is fiercely divided on whether this was a lawful duel for the High King's throne in the old way (as Ulfric and those under his banner see it) or a murder and usurpation of the throne due to Ulfric's use of the Thu'um against Torygg (as the Empire sees it). The climax of the Dark Brotherhood questline has the player contracted to assassinate Emperor Titus Mede II during a state visit. Titus chooses to Face Death with Dignity, requesting only that the player next turn their blade on the person who requested his death. In the backstory, the Dark Brotherhood is also responsible for the assassination of Emperor Pelagius in the 3rd Era. |

A Song of Ice and Fire is a fantasy epic about the game of thrones, which (as Cersei Lannister puts it) "you win or you die." It's also a series where Anyone Can Die. Consequently, there are quite a number of regicides running around: Jaime Lannister's In-Series Nickname is "The Kingslayer". In the backstory, he killed the arguably evil, and unarguably mad, King Aerys II Targaryen. In doing so, he ended a massive Civil War and saved over half a million lives, as the Mad King had hatched a Taking You with Me plot that was intended to burn the entire capital city to the ground. That being said, he was also a member of the king's Praetorian Guard — and, more importantly, only one other character (and the audience) have ever actually learned his motivations. As a result, he is reviled throughout Westeros as The Oathbreaker, Once Done, Never Forgotten; plus, he's also a scion of the arriviste Lannister family that the rebels saw as "Johnny come latelies" who parlayed their opportunistic actions to grab royal favor. And, of course, he's engaging in Twincest and, when a child found out about it, he threw that child out a window. In short, he is seen by many as a disagreeable Karma Houdini who should at the very least be Reassigned to Antarctica rather than continue his career as a royal bodyguard. A big part of his Character Arc is deciding to show the world — not by self-serving excuses, but by word and deed — that he is more than an opportunist. Brienne undergoes similar prejudice when she is thought to have killed Renly Baratheon, having been found in his tent with him just after he dies. In reality he was murdered by a shadow assassin conjured by a witch who was in league with Renly's brother Stannis Baratheon, though as Stannis had more right to the Iron Throne, and Renly was clearly The Usurper and intended to kill Stannis that day this doesn't seem so great a crime. Later Renly's secret lover Ser Loras Tyrell meets Brienne and demanded she be punished for Renly's death, even though the Tyrells are currently allied with the Lannister regime, which Renly intended to overthrow. Stannis may be considered partially guilty of the deaths of all the other four Kings in the War of the Five Kings, though from his perspective they are all usurpers. After his defeat at the Blackwater, with the assistance of the Red Witch Melisandre, Stannis uses three leeches filled with King's Blood thrown onto a brazier to curse Joffrey Baratheon, Balon Greyjoy, and Robb Stark. All three of them die shortly after this curse. Balon Greyjoy apparently dies when he falls of a bridge during a storm. However, shortly after his death, Balon's villainous brother Euron "Crow's Eye" Greyjoy returns to the Iron Isles and takes control of them. A vision by the Ghost of High Heart implies that a Faceless Man was hired by Euron to perform the deed. The apparent assassin was a member of an organization who specialize in deaths that look like accidents. Lord Roose Bolton murders his King Robb Stark during The Red Wedding, which he planned with Lord Walder Frey. Following this assassination, the Boltons take control of the North. At his wedding to Margaery Tyrell, Joffrey Baratheon is poisoned by his grandmother-in-law Olenna Tyrell, as she fears his cruelty towards her granddaughter. A reread of the positioning during the wedding, indicated that one of Margaery's brothers, Garlan Tyrell, may have carried out the poisoning. Joffrey's uncle Tyrion Lannister is blamed for the murder and eventually convicted, but escapes Westeros before the sentence can be carried out. Queen Cersei Lannister is the mastermind behind the death of her husband, King Robert Baratheon. She let her cousin, Lancel, give more potent drink to Robert, which got him killed by a boar during their hunting trip. Later on, Lancel wasn't proud for what he had done and took a Heel–Faith Turn which got Cersei exposed for adultery and murder by the Church Militant. There have been numerous historical examples: When Aegon and his sisters conquered Westeros, they also killed the kings who ruled over the Reach (Mern IX Gardener), the Iron Islands and the Riverlands (Harren Hoare), and the Stormlands (Argilac Durrandon). Loren I Lannister of the Westerlands, Torrhen Stark of the North, and Sharra Arryn of the Vale chose to bend the knee, and as a result their houses were spared and allowed to rule as vassals in Aegon's new realm, the Seven Kingdoms. Queen Visenya might have poisoned her nephew and stepson, Aenys I, to make way for her son, Maegor, to ascend to the Iron Throne. While the rumor is unconfirmed, Visenya did provide major backing for Maegor while she was alive, to the point that his reign began to fall apart after she died. Maegor himself was found dead in the Red Keep's throne room during the rebellion led by his nephew Jaehaerys, his neck impaled by one of the spikes of the Iron Throne. To this day, nobody knows how it happened, and theories ranging from his wife Elinor Costayne (whose first husband was killed by Maegor's forces) to a member of the Kingsguard to a random smallfolk who desired revenge against the king being possible suspects. Ominously, some even believe that the Iron Throne itself killed Maegor, having decided that he was unworthy of the crown. Aegon II, who ruled during the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, ended up on both sides of this. He executed his rival and half-sister, Queen Rhaenyra, via his dragon Sunfyre. Six months later, he was poisoned by his own supporters as Cregan Stark approached the city with his army. Even though Cregan was fighting against Aegon II, he still felt a King's murder should be punished. He arrested many of those present, sending most of them to the Wall, executing those who refused to take the Black, but pardoning Corlys Velaryon under political pressure. Who exactly poisoned Aegon is still unclear, but the orchestrator of the plot, Larys Strong, was among those executed. Daeron I was assassinated during an expedition to conquer Dorne, being ambushed by a bunch of Dornishmen whom he convened for a peace meeting. Baelor the Beloved could have been poisoned by his uncle Viserys II, who was the next King, but may have acted as he had been running the realm efficiently for years and Baelor's pious policies threatened this (some believe Baelor wished to invade the North and the Iron Islands to convert them to the Faith of the Seven by force). However many people believe Baelor died from his excessive fasting. Ironically, it was rumored that Viserys II, who died a year after Baelor I, was poisoned by his son Aegon IV "The Unworthy". Maekar I was crushed to death by a boulder while quelling the Peake Uprising in the Reach. |

One Piece: Capone Bege gets a kick out of killing leaders. He began with gang leaders and moved up to world leaders once he gained power and influence. He has no aspiration to take their power, however. He just likes to off the person in charge because he likes watching the violence ensue as people fight for the throne. From what little we get to see about the God Valley Incident, we learn that God Valley's king was callously murdered by Saint Figarland Garling of the Holy Knights for protesting the World Nobles' Native Hunting Competition that was about to take place in his country. Because Garling murdered him before the game even started, he was given a point penalty; Garling merely took this as a challenge to actually put effort into the competition, showcasing how little the act meant to him. |

Futurama: In "My Three Suns" Fry accidentally kills the emperor of Trisol, whose population are water-people, by drinking him. This makes Fry the new Emperor. But Regicide is fairly common on that planet with most Emperors only lasting a week until they're killed, often by being drunk, half were drunk at their coronations and someone even tries drinking Fry. It turns out the Emperor is still alive inside Fry, almost getting Fry killed when he orders his people to let him out. Finally Fry is able to cry the Emperor out. | |

Code Geass: Lelouch Lamperouge killed his father, Emperor Charles, by geassing "god" to erase the king from existence. No one would ever have found out about it (as only Suzaku and C.C. witnessed this) except Lelouch freely boasted about it to the Imperial Court, at a televised conference, in front of millions of people watching worldwide! In the Grand Finale, Suzaku Kururugi kills Emperor Lelouch as Zero which is intentional as part of their Zero Requiem plan. He also did this before when he was a child, murdering his father the Prime Minister to stop the Honor Before Reason fuelled destruction of Japan in the face of the power of Britannia's forces. |

Happens on numerous occasions in The Bible. Ehud arranged a meeting with Eglon, the king of Moab. He told the king he had a secret message, so the king told his attendants to leave the two of them alone. Once they'd left the room, Ehud stabbed Eglon, locked the doors and snuck out. A nameless Amelekite tells David that he has killed King Saul (at Saul's own request, no less). *It's ambiguous whether he actually did the deed or if he was embellishing the story: at the end of 1 Samuel we're told Saul fell on his own sword Since Saul had been trying to kill David, the Amelekite clearly expects to be rewarded for this. Instead, David has him executed for daring to kill God's anointed king. Nadab, second king of Samaria, was killed by a military officer named Baasha. Jehu managed a two-for-one, killing king Jehoram of Samaria and mortally wounding king Ahaziah of Judah while they were in talks. |

Game of Thrones, the HBO Adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire above, not only outpaced the books eventually, but added a few twists of its own: Unlike in the books which was rumored that a Faceless Man, sent by Euron, killed his brother and the king of the Iron Islands, Balon Greyjoy, Euron is the one who kills him personally by pushing him off the bridge at Pyke during a rainy day. In the Season 6 finale, Cersei Lannister blows the Sept of Baelor, killing Queen Maegery Tyrell and her brother and father. She also indirectly responsible for the death of her son, King Tommen Baratheon, who jumps off the Red Keep after learning of his wife's demise. In the series finale, Jon Snow kills Queen Daenerys Targaryen after he realizes that she is already Jumping Off the Slippery Slope. This action leads Grey Worm and the Unsullied to arrest him, culminating for the newly appointed King Bran Stark to send Jon into exile at the far North. |

Prior to the events of Diablo King Leoric was killed by his own Knights, specifically Lachdanan, when they realized the depth of his madness and that he had become a threat to his own people. It did not end there, however. After he was risen as the Skeleton King he was killed again by his own son, Prince Aidan. He rose again when the Fallen Star caused the dead to stir and this time was killed by the Nephalem, for good this time. Or so the prophecy says. | |

Long Live the Queen's plot kicks off with the death of the queen of Nova by a Lumen named Togami, which makes the princess Elodie next in line for the throne, but being too young to take it means that the goal of the game is to prevent this trope from happening to her. Poor choice of actions can result in being killed by Togami, a different Lumen that has been pissed off too much, an Ax-Crazy nobleman out to avenge his family, and spies poisoning you. Elodie's father, the dead queen's husband, can also get murdered by Togami in a particular branch. | |

In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, it is implied that when Hugin and Munin went online, that their first objective was to eliminate Rosa Cossette d’Elise, as the Erusean Radicals had no further use for her after Farbanti had fallen. She somehow survived, and warned the remaining Osean and Erusean pilots that one of them was still flying after Trigger shot down the other. | |

Babylon 5: "The Coming of Shadows": As the Centauri Emperor Turhan was making a state visit to Babylon 5, G'Kar was making plans to kill him at the reception held in his honor in revenge for the prior Centauri occupation of Narn, but Turhan, already near death, collapsed on his way there and died shortly thereafter. In Season 4 Londo Mollari conspires with G'Kar and several members of the Centauri court to assassinate the insane Emperor Cartagia. In the end it's his aide Vir Cotto who delivers the killing blow in "Into the Fire"; he feels considerable anguish about it afterwards. Later, when it looks like the Vorlons are going to destroy Centauri Prime because the emperor-in-waiting, Londo, was a former associate of the Shadows, Londo tries to convince Vir to kill him, but the Vorlon planet killer is recalled to join the battle with the Alliance at Coriana VI in the nick of time. In a Bad Future seen in "War Without End", Emperor Londo arranges to have G'Kar kill him to free the Centauri Republic of the Drakh keeper controlling his actions. Londo has drunk enough alcohol to put the keeper into as stupor for this, but it wakes up partway through and strangles G'Kar in a Mutual Kill. This is also implied to have happened in the prime timeline during the Time Skip between season 5 and the Distant Finale "Sleeping in Light", as Vir has succeeded Londo as Emperor by that time. President Clark and Mr. Morden both participated in the death of President Santiago, who dies when EarthForce One explodes. The proof came from a transmission that Ivanova managed to capture with the Great Machine. Only Clark is seen, commenting how he's wanted Santiago dead for a long time, but Morden's voice is heard assuring him that EarthForce One will not return and that the power is now Clark's. |
