    The facts, legends, and lack thereof is what makes study and discussion both interesting and non-ending.
    Personally, I would think that the leading causes of death were less dramatic than drownings and battles. Things like gangrene, falls and illness must have taken their toll in large numbers without proper medical treatment being available.
    How about starvation, dehydration, hypothermia?
