https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_VIII_of_France#Death

Charles died in 1498, two and a half years after his retreat from Italy, as the result of an accident. While on his way to watch a game of jeu de paume (real tennis) in Amboise he struck his head on the lintel of a door.[23] At around 2:00 p.m., while returning from the game, he fell into a sudden coma and died nine hours later. However, more recent analysis disputes this narrative of his death with a 2021 study concluding that such an injury would cause only minor trauma. That same study also hypothesized Charles actually died of severe brain injuries that could have been caused by an epileptic condition, itself a result of neurosyphilis.[24]

Wasn’t he on horseback when he tried to pass the door?
