The Assassination Attempt on King Caspian X of Narnia was the spontaneous attack led by the Dwarf traitor Nikabrik, on the to-be-king's life at Aslan's How. A werewolf and a hag also assisted in the spur-of-the-moment murder attempt, but Edmund and Peter Pevensie, as well as the Dwarf Trumpkin, stumbled into the room having overheard the calamity. Caspian's loyal friends Doctor Cornelius and Trufflehunter were already in the room when the sudden outburst occurred. The werewolf went right for Caspian who was able to get the beast off with the help of Peter and Edmund and apparently kill it. Trumpkin decapitated the hag and the candlelight was put out, leaving either Peter or Edmund to have killed Nikabrik (in the dark) who had attacked Trufflehunter. After a long silence, a match was lit, and it was found that the three attackers had been killed and that Caspian's allies were unharmed other than Caspian himself who received some minor werewolf injuries. Caspian had met the Pevensies and Trumpkin already.
