The Groin Of This King Swelled So Much That It Finally Exploded

Alfonso VI, one of medieval Spain's most powerful kings, suffered a minor lance wound to his groin during a 1072 tournament. The surface healed in days—but deep inside, damaged lymphatic vessels and hidden infection began a six-year nightmare that would destroy him completely. His scrotum started swelling uncontrollably in grotesque episodes that grew worse over time—from fist-sized to melon-sized masses of fluid and infection. The pain was unbearable. He couldn't sit, couldn't ride, couldn't rule properly. Medieval physicians tried everything: leeches, bloodletting, herbs, prayers. Nothing worked because they had no concept of lymphatic damage or bacteria. As the episodes became near-constant, Alfonso's authority collapsed. Nobles rebelled. Muslim armies invaded. The warrior king wasted away, aged decades in years, trapped in a deteriorating body while his kingdom fell apart around him. The final attack was catastrophic. The swelling expanded beyond the skin's capacity. The tissue ruptured. Fluid, pus, and blood poured out uncontrollably. Physicians were helpless. Alfonso went into shock and died within an hour—his reign ending not in battle, but through a slow internal explosion triggered by a wound everyone had dismissed as nothing. This is the brutal true story of how one overlooked injury destroyed a king and shattered a kingdom.
