General Sholto and Empress Elizabeth of Austria

[edit]

Was General Sholto’s stabbing in the BBC Sherlock television series inspired by Empress Elizabeth of Austria’s stabbing, or did that happen in the original book series? And if it did happen in the original series, was that based off Empress Elizabeth’s death? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Time to Llama is Now (talkcontribs) 15:56, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's a Major John Sholto (and his sons) in The Sign of the Four, one of them is murdered. I have no idea what inspired the story, but my guess is no. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:17, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
