Summary/Abstract: Medieval kings had an impact thanks to their personal knowledge, experience and abilities. Therefore, the success of medieval kingdoms is closely related to the personal periods of the kings. In such a conjuncture, the lives and deaths of kings were not ordinary. Because these two processes, and then the question of who will become the new king, triggered serious changes in the political periphery: as in England. The events that took place with the deaths of the kings in England between the years 1066-1216 seriously affected the fate of the country. During this time, there were nine kings on the throne of England. In the process from the Norman Conquest to the adoption of the Magna Carta, the political climate resulting from the death of nine kings had a great impact on England and even the continent in general. From this point of view, the study focuses on explaining the periods and deaths of nine kings between 1066-1216 and how these deaths affected the political conditions of the country.
