The Duke of Buckingham.<br />
<br />
The house where the Duke of Buckingham was assassinated by a disgruntled naval officer is on the market for £1.5million - and the sale includes the dagger reputedly used to kill him.<br />
<br />
The house in Portsmouth, Hants, was an inn where King Charles was due to stay in 1628 when his 'favourite' Buckingham was stabbed by John Felton.<br />
<br />
Now known as Buckingham House, the property has been lovingly restored by the current owner Ian Young, who has been fascinated by the building since he was a boy at the school next door.<br />
<br />
The Grade II* listed house is now on the open market for the first time in about 70 years with Morris Dibben estate agents.
