Murder and Legacy
Sometime before 1 December 1882, young King William was murdered in Limbola, a village on the Bimbian coast. King Woloa wo Fike of the Bakweri village Soppo was blamed for ordering the deed. The Bimbian monarchy crumbled completely. No heir could unite all Bimbia under his banner, and Bimbia as a nation essentially ceased to exist. However, the fact that young King William was able to reign at all, however briefly, indicates the prestige and power that William I had been able to establish and that young King William had managed to at least partially retain.

Famous quotes containing the words murder and/or legacy:
“I cannot beat off
Invincible modes of the sea, hearing:
Be a man my son by God.
He turned again
To the purring jet yellowing the murder story,
Deaf to the pathos circling in the air.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
