Genuinely curious for an example of domestic assassination working out well for anyone.
If they survive, they’re forgiven and quasi-deified. If they die, they’re martyred and replaced.
The only cases where this has worked is when it’s a state wholesale wiping out the other side’s political leadership, e.g. Roman proscriptions.
