always laced with a familiar taste of poison

You are transported back in time and into the body of a young noblewoman in the 1400s. Your parents have married you off to an awful, abusive, rapist husband whom literally no one else would marry despite him being very high nobility because he's that terrible. You successfully produce a baby boy and then plan to murder this man for the good of everyone and yourself. Here is the question: do you think you could murder him in a way that is undetectable to the historical people around you? Note: they aren't stupid, you are the prime suspect as the battered wife AND you can't just say poison. Where are you going to buy poison? Do you know anything about poison actually? NO GOOGLING! You were sent back without a plan!

Edit: my notes are full of murder. I love you all

Edit: to clarify about the poison, you can use poison if you actually know how to identify it, I'm saying you can't just go "Poison!" with no knowledge about poison. Buying it probably means they know that poison and you're caught. Your personal knowledge when you read this post is all you have.

Another point of clarity: You went through all that trouble to have a baby without modern medicine so you could get the sweet house after your husband died. That's why you can't be caught. No disappearing.

I think pushing a drunk man off something is a super bad idea. If he's not as drunk as you think or you aren't as strong as you think (noblewomen aren't known for strength), you are royally fucked. Also, I remember learning once that drunk people often survive car crashes because their muscles are relaxed, so he might just roll down and be fine (I guess that's okay, but ineffective)

Same with pillow smothering, it takes a long time to smother someone and if he comes to and fights you off, you are also doomed. Also, fun fact, people who are asleep will fight smothering involuntarily

There is a lot of confidence about poison. I don't know, even if you can identify a poison, can you really microdose it effectively? Also, I feel like people might be ignoring the "noblewoman" part. You aren't preparing his food, you have servants for that, so this would be hard

I didn't specify the location on purpose, because I wanted people to just imagine whatever place they are most familiar with.

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves !
