That's the rumour... Not "Mr. Well's history" but that is the rumour.
Of course it could be BS put out by her enemies.

No, it was Ghengis Khan that died from the results of falling from his horse. Catherine the Great died naturaly.

nope..."Catherine suffered a stroke while taking a bath November 5, 1796, and subsequently died at 10:15 the following evening without having regained consciousness"

No - - - - but it was good for barracks talk.

What really confused the issue was that most of Catherine's lovers were reputed to be hung like the proverbial pony.

No! And it is also untrue that she died on the toilet.
