>those are some really nice teeth
Either he died young, or he wasn't too rich. Or then he just didn't like anything sweet. Peasants often had better teeth back then.
Because back then, many kings and other people with enough money spent all their days eating sweets, honey, drinking sugary wine and mead and whatever they felt like snacking on. They really had no idea about dental hygiene back then, so by the time they hit their forties, most of their teeth were rotting or gone and the rot might have gone even beyond that.

The Swedish king Gustav Vasa was reportedly rather irritable, and probably for a reason: He must have been in absolute agony pretty much all the time. When his grave was opened in 1945, doctors quickly noted that most of his teeth had obviously rotted, and the rot had spread into his facial bones and possibly his inner ears. When he spoke, everyone in the room could probably smell a rotting corpse, and that's basically what his mouth was.
He also had an infected wound in his leg that just wouldn't heal. We know today that persistent infections in the mouth can seriously affect one's health elsewhere in the body, too; if this man wasn't affected by that, I don't know who would be.

Brush your teeth, everyone.
