Martyr Or Suicide - Emily Davison
21 Answers
I have just watched the Channel 4 programme by Claire Balding. I was always told that she didn't intend to bring down the King's horse at the Derby in 1913 and that it was just bad luck/luck that this horse hit her, causing her death.
The footage of the event was forensically enhanced, and it seemed to be clear that she intended to drape a Suffragette scarf around the King's horses neck, so that it would cross the finish line bearing the scarf.
It is well worth watching the programme. Very interesting.
