“Work in the kitchen as punishment” for being duped into attempting a rebellion, has to be the calmest punishment I’ve heard of, to come out of the British Empire.
I dunno, have you ever tried to eat what comes out of a British kitchen? May have been a fate worse than death...
From being basically no one to being made a courtier...
Not a bad outcome of involvement in a rebellion, I'd say. Especially if you look at what happened to all the rebels from the Pilgrimage of Grace under Henry VIII. Simnel was very lucky.
Please View my Edit for the correct information on this specific individual!
Look up Bakers Lung from the Victoria Era. Might seem like a “kind punishment”. But in actuality he basically just condemned the dude to basically die from eventually choking to death due to the fumes and materials burned in early kitchens.
Edit: Lambert Simnel actually went on to live longer than most and died around the age of 57 with a successful (depending on your view) life. But remember he was the exception, not the rule.
@@samwallace6509while australia is basically RLcraft in real life, the gold part kind of sweetens the deal
That's the good ending
Imagine finding the king of England in a car park
Good riddance
For someone as despicable as him, its fitting
Richard lll's body was even found under the letter R in "car".No,he wasn't a baddie-that was Tudor propaganda which Shakespeare then perpetuated.
@Susan Cameron oh yeah and you know that? There is literally so many reasons he would kill them and evidence prior to the Tudor take over that he had them killed. Wtf you mean man Jesus go look up the actual history of the event. He initially did not intend to take over as king but to protect the boys until they were of age. He met a lot of lashback for this from other nobles and had to iron fist them down as he did this he slowly began liking the position of authority. As any king of England or anywhere for that matter knows if you intend to be king you must take out your rivals. So pray tell me why the two boys died and he became king? What happened to them inside that tower? Also Tudor propaganda? You'd think the Tudors would try and cushion their own history too. Let's have the Tudor dynasty write how paranoid and financial focused henry the 7th was or how about Henry the 8th and his wives, or bloody Mary or how about Elizabeth and Mary queen of Scots. All things that the Tudors would reasonably want hidden as it gives them a bad look. James the 1st actually liked Elizabeth and he didn't even change the gritty details of the Tudor dynasty. You're fucking nuts if you actually think any ruler of Medieval Europe has no bloods on their hands
@@minecachairhe murdered his nephew and kept them locked up. He wasn’t even in line to the throne.
Henry VIII's elder brother, Arthur, died of the sweating sickness and he was right to be afraid.
I was just about to comment the exact same thing 😅
Good thing he never got Covid-19 lol
I never heard of that
Hantavirus huh?
Makes sense
Its funny what they used to call viral and bacterial outbreaks
Consumption
Camp fever
Sweating sickness
The black death
They really inspire fear
The fact was wrong though; Anne Boleyn had the sweating sickness in 1528, before she even became Henry’s mistress, as far as we can tell, about five years before they married.
Arthur didn't die of sweating sickness though. Historians believe he actually died of tuberculosis.
Imagine you say "Bloody Mary" three times in the mirror at 3am and all you see is Mary losing at Poker yelling "FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOT AGAIN"
Omg help-
She takes your money lol
@@priscillajimenez27 "Can you give me a 20? I-I'm gonna win next time, I swear!"
Lol, well that certainly sounds better than being killed by a scary ghost witch in the mirror. 🤣😅
😂
Queen Elizabeth I was a fashion icon for her time, and she often wore clothing with a sheer front to show off her breasts to prove she was the "Virigin Queen" well into her old age. (According to a Spanish diplomat who visited her palace when she was in her 60s, apparently it was all very awkward for him.) She also strong armed none other than Shakespeare to write a play for a party she was throwing, giving him only two weeks to write and prepare a performance of a sequel to her favorite play. This resulted in "The Merry Wives of Windsor," Shakespeare's only play to be written in prose, and modern writing analysis shows Elizabeth actually might have written a good deal of the play, essentially using her power to make her fanfiction based on one of Shakespeare's plays canon.
Ah, so she was a fanfic writer. Go Queen! (literally)
@@zeenoash.8805 Exactly, the play centers around Sir John Falstof, her favorite character, who came from the play Henry VI, who was her Great-Grandfather. So that would make it fanfiception, I guess? 😅
I don't think I can think of it again without thinking of queen Liz 1 sitting while writing fanfiction.
Imagine if they find transcripts of AO3 and such websites in a few hundred years time, thinking they have discovered some long-lost books by J.K. Rowling only to find out it is some teen's self-insert fanfiction they wrote.

Imagine being the Pope and finding Out the 12 year old prince wrote an essay about you being an antichrist 💀💀
😂😂
King, actually. Edward VI ascended to the throne when he was just 9 years old! He died early at the age of 15.
Not a prince, a king. He became king at 9, so yeah, he was not a prince.
I wonder what he wrote and if he was correct
@@priscillajimenez27 The book of Revelations says no. Considering it details what happens when the antichrist arrives. Not to mention that pope has been dead for centuries.
Ha ha, in Poland "froggy" is a very common term of endearment 😁
Elizabeth the 1st wasn't polish lol
She called him frog because he was French
that's adorable!
@@zjktz7782Yes, he was the Dauphin of France...The last 400 years of history would have been VERY DIFFERENT if they had actually married.
Żabko?
And also, the boy wasn’t sent to work in the kitchen as punishment, it was as opposed to being executed. Recognising that he was a pawn, Henry VII had mercy on the boy and employed him. He actually lived quite a good life, getting promoted and marrying.
That's wholesome
That's Lambert Simnel, if I remember correctly?
@@gryffinclaw Simnel is my favourite cake. Delicious.
Henry VIII wasn't a hypochondriac.
It was the norm for ruling monarchs to be separated and kept away from sick people. Henry VIII's older brother, Arthur, is a perfect example of why illness prevention for the king/queen was taken very seriously.
Yeah I didn’t get that bit. Including the fact Henry and Anne weren’t married yet.
To be fair I do wonder about Tudor mental health. Henry VII developed what seemed to be clinical depression after losing Arthur and his wife Elizabeth in quick succession, then kept Henry cloistered and became over protective. I'm pretty sure Henry VIII himself did worry about his health later in life as well, and Mary I had issues with recurrent depressive episodes. But not just the blood Tudors- Katherine of Aragon must've had something going on because she'd starve herself in the name of religion, and she had a sister who might've had schizophrenia. Phillip II of Spain also had a real lack of confidence and was notoriously indecisive. Mental illnesses can have hereditary elements which might be exacerbated by factors in the environment. They're an interesting bunch to look at if you have an interested in royal history and the aetiology of mental health disorders.
(also I think Mary Queen of Scots had mental health challenges as well- mentioning that since she was also a grandaughter of Henry VII)
@@SentientHairBall I do really enjoy your take on this. I do believe that Catherine might have had something going on mentally, but I believe a big role in what happened came from her mother and father who were two of the leading figures in the Spanish Inquisition and might have caused her to become more paranoid about what role god played in their marriage.
@@askimbeatrix8245 Thanks. You also hit the nail on the head- that perfect overlay between her having a genetic and biological predisposition and the environment she grew up and lived in. The first 1000 days of life play a critical role in someone's life development. I can definitely see her parents' religious zeal leaving a lasting impression on her mental health during her life
@@SentientHairBall totally! And also I believe she influenced Mary as well by giving her the same zeal as Catherine.
I will never forget when I asked my Alexa to give me a fun fact on the day Richard III’s grave was found and it said he was the first king to have his own private parking space
So that's where the princess kissing the frog came from.
Elizabeth stop making trends even after 400 years or your death!
The story is even wilder! An author and admirer of Richard III DREAMT about him and where he was buried! It took her several years to cajole and persuade others to join her in pleading for the excavation of the car park. Not the sort of thing normally done in a land so overstuffed with antiquities, a la Time Travelers television show!
I heard her on various radio shows talking about her dream and plans. The excavation was televised. Everyone was shocked, including the author. She was truly dismayed, because she was convinced that the description of Richard III's being a hunchback was just scurrilous rumour spread by his enemies. It was immediately apparent upon exhumation that he indeed had quite a bad case of scoliosis. It's a real head scratcher, worth searching for.
Makes him more admirable really, to be the last British King to die in battle while having a deformity of the spine.

@garyallen8824
That would hurt like hell
Damn. Truth really is stranger than fiction sometimes...imagine someone dreaming up the whereabouts of a dead kings body back in past? Either would've been declared a prophet or Satanist
@@vespernight4236the carpark had been the most likely suspected location for decades.
That one guy leading a rebellion and getting sentenced to serve in the kitchen practically won the Medieval lottery there.
Very entertaining! One correction though - Anne Boleyn caught the sweating sickness BEFORE she was married to Henry viii.
Thank you! Came here for this! 🎉
Yes! It was so disappointing! It’s pretty well known by people who know about Tudor history. And it’s about a FIVE YEAR difference, not like it coincided with the marriage.
Two inaccuracies here, henry the 8th wasn't a hypochondriac it was just expected for a king to be secluded from everyone during times of plauge, and since his brother had died from the sweating sickness he was right to be afraid. Second anne caught the sickness before marrying henry and he was apparently extremely worried about her
I think one of the best portrayals of Mary I I've seen was in Becoming Elizabeth- specifically the scene where she and Edward are gambling with each other on cockfighting. I thought "yup that's Peak Mary right there- Gambling and losing!"
That show is great. I love Mary so much
Okay the frog earring was actually kinda cute.
“Why the Pope is the Antichrist” what a hero😂. He was beyond his time.
😂 it took me off guard
Nah, slander like this is very much a phenomenon of the time. Calling the pope the antichrist was a common propagandist saying of protestants in the 16th century.
bruh. english reformation already happened, he was Anglican
@@MedievalAngryDude no I mean like I’m the flow of the video. I was like hm, ah, oooh, and then boom antichrist pope. It was a good laugh.
Spoken like a true wiggly-tooth bean eater.
I’m just glad you included Jane grey cause she’s so underrated and her story is so sad
Ed would destroy the world if he was bored enough, like I swear whole England had him on a leash.
Idk another fun fact: Jane was most intelligent woman of her century, she learned 10+ languages at age of 16, and also loved clock mechanisms. Her teachers couldn’t find enough challenge for her and we’re going insane because of it. Sadly reason of her being such a good student was what it was a break from her parents’s abuse. She had 2 sisters and was pretty close with them, and Katherine had her wedding on same day as Jane’s one, it was arran d but seems like Jane and Guilford started to like each other.
Also, Elizabeth Edward and Jane were very close to Katherine Parr, especially for Jane who called Kate her motherly figure in her diaries. Remember reading it, they met each other for first time when Katherine was sitting and looking at sky and asked her lady in waiting (it was at one Katherine still was a queen) about stars while little Jane was looking at her from back. She loved and studied in house of Seymour (Katherine’s new husband) with Elizabeth. Sadly, Jane and Elizabeth were sent away after it was confirmed what Thomas Seymour was sexually assaulting Eliza when she was 14 (!!). Also, when Eliza became queen she said to Jane’s sister Katherine Grey what she would treat her like her own daughter, because Kate has all rights on throne (like Mary grey, but she was youngest amongst 3 sisters and also only like 130cm so no one have taken her seriously…..still wondering how tf she had a baby….) but Eliza never actually liked her, and it was just political stuff. They had kind of relationships “You ruined my whole life!” “Who tf are you I ruined many lives” and also Katherine married one of Seymour’s calling one of her sons Thomas Seymour. (Who then were said to be out marriage because Eliza didn’t confirmed Kate and Edward’s marriage, but Edward tried to give them rights on throne up till 17th century.)
Jane didn’t wanted to be a queen unlike her family members, she was just a teenager what wanted to read books and everyone to f**k off. But sadly, no one f**ed off.
Also Mary didn’t wanted to behead her and her husband. Like Mary knew Jane from her young age and liked her, but it was kill or be killed sort of thing.
….I love Jane.
Yeah, Jane probably would have been a great Queen, if she'd been able to have a proper go at it.
@@RenaissanceEarCandy I don’t really think so, she was very smart but she hated politics to begin with. And she was a literal kid. Also, she was just a puppet in hands of her father and father in law who ruled country with her name, even if she was trying to do something herself. Like giving Edward’s clothes to poor for free and stuff like what.
Never thought I would say what about a little girl but sometimes I wish she really was pregnant…….like, it would save her life. Literally.
Henry and Anne weren’t even married when she got sweating sickness. And he was apparently beside himself with worry for her. And he wasn’t a hypochondriac, it was standard for the King of the time to be kept from anyone who is sick, for obvious reasons.
She called her French suitor a frog lmao
If you'd had more time, you could've elaborated that Richard the 3rds ghost told a woman where he was buried leading to his bodies discovery..
Lambert Simnel rose through the ranks and eventually worked as a falconer to Henry VII.
Thoroughly enjoying these - thank you and keep up the good work
I always felt bad for Lady Jane Grey, she never wanted to be the ruler.
Okay but frog is kind of a cute pet name 😭
*Anne Boleyn got the sweating sickness when they were romantically together but many years before they were married. Despite being a hypochondriac, he sent his second best doctor to her to make sure she survived - and she did!
Second best might not sound that great, but his first best had to be with him. He had a wife, a daughter, at least one bastard child, and a whole court of important people he overlooked to send his mistress his second best doctor.
Except they presumably weren't romantically together before marriage, certainly not "many years" before it...
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 they were together for seven years before they were married. He originally proposed to her in 1526 but they didn’t get married until 1533. It was in 1528 that Anne and her father both got sweating sickness, well into their public relationship, and Henry’s attempts at an annulment from his wife Catherine of Aragon
These videos are getting faster and faster, shorts are gonna start being considered minis
Wasn't Richard the third accused of this by Shakespeare to make the Tudors look better? Especially since they got on the throne against the law at that timw
Yes and no.
Shakespeare's plays certainly helped to spread the message the Tudors wanted everyone to accept as the truth, but he wasn't the one coming up with this stuff, he only added a bit here and there - for example the limp and withered arm. He also has Richard commit his first murder in 1455, where according to Shakespeare, Richard murdered the 2nd Duke of Somerset during the first battle of St Albans. One can already argue, if it's murder to kill someone in battle, but regardless, Richard was born in 1452 and would've been two and a half years old when he 'murdered' Somerset... - guess he must've had a hell of a temper tantrum to kill a seasoned soldier in full plate armour.
But overall, Shakespeare seemingly took his inspiration from Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland published in 1577. Holinshed, in turn, used earlier sources, most, if not all of which are closely connected to Henry VII. It's fairly safe to assume, that they were biased against Richard. Yet these sources are often used as the basis for anything against Richard even today. To be fair, one has to be equally critical of any contemporary sources praising Richard, but then again, there aren't really many that do so. Now, one could draw the conclusion, that if hardly anyone ever wrote nice things about Richard, that it was because there wasn't anything good about him to report, but it's just as likely, that things got 'lost'. One good example of how the narrative changed is with the Rous Rolls. One was published during Richard's reign and speaks positivly of him, one was published under Henry VII and condemns him.
One also has to remember that Richard was king for only little over two years, so there wasn't yet much to write. And considering how Henry dealt with anyone who had supported Richard at the battle of Bosworth, those who might have written anything in praise of Richard, might have been eager to burn it. - Or like Rous, to make 'adjustments'.
What little is known of Richard's life before he became king is overall positive. He is said to have been loyal, fair, honest, pious, upright, brave, faithful to his wife (his two illegitimate children, whom he acknowledged, are assumed to have been fathered before his marriage), and a loving father to his son and heir. He was very well respected in the north, where he effectively ruled as kind of a viceroy for Edward IV.
There is a contemporary report of an Italian diplomat and cleric Dominic Mancini working for the French court. His report is reasonably neutral, though the translation of the text, originally written in latin, isn't. Mancini reports of there being rumours in London, that the two princes were dead/murdered in early autumn of 1483, but he makes it very clear, that he doesn't know what really had become of the two boys. The Croyland Chronicler, another contemporary source, reports the same, but also emphasises on this being just rumours that he's heard. The first time it is stated as a fact, that the princes were murdered on Richard's orders is in Thomas More's 'A history of Richard III ' which he left unfinished and unpublished. It was later both finished and published by More's son-in-law after More's execution, possibly to get back into Henry VIII's good graces by slandeting the no. 1 enemy, albeit dead, of the Tudor dynasty. After all, the Tudors prided themselves on having saved England from the horrible tyrant Richard III, even though Richard's reign was surprisingly untyrannical, especially compared to some of the Tudor bunch.
- I could go on for longer, but before this turns into a book, I better call it a day. Have a good one.
Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn weren't yet married when she contracted sweating sickness. He was still married to Catherine of Aragon at the time. But he did famously send her to recover at the Boleyn family home, Hever Castle, and sent his second best physician to care for her (reserving the best one for himself, obviously).
Also apparently Henry VIII’s body also exploded post mortem, so that’s two kings that did that
Henry was courting Anne at the time not actually married yet
"Wrote an whole essay why the Pope was anti-crise" did he get an A?
Katherine Parr would just stare at him after reading what so I don’t think so
(She was already dead at what time but still she was his mentor. Great motherly figure don’t saves you from Tudors maniac DNA I guess)
I actually know the guy who’s parking spot was excavated to find Richard III, after 20 years of parking there!
you all should read the story of the princes in the tower it’s a heart wrenching story 😔
The last one is pretty wholesome
1. Working in the kitchens wasn't a punishment. It was a good job and he even got promoted to royal falconer.
2. Anne Boylen wasn't his wife at the time. She was still a mistress when she got the plague.
This whole series is an absolute gem.
Henry VIII was married to Catherine of Aragon when Anne Boleyn contacted plague. Their affair had barely just begun when she fell ill.
Admitedly , Henry the VIIth was pretty chill like that , respect for letting bygones be bygones .
The frog one’s kinda wholesome
The most interesting thing about king Richard being found in a car park, the actual space he was found under had an R painted on it. Weird coincidence
Actually, the death of king Henry's wife really upset him. He really liked that one.
He beheaded Anne Boleyn. I think you mean Jane, who died of fever after giving birth to Edward the 6th. Funnily enough, Jane was a devout Catholic
Elizabeth’s “frog” was Francis Duke of Anjou which was Catherine De' Medic and one of her other sons Francis II of France married Marry Queen of Scots
Oh yeah the guy who worked in the kitchens eventually got married and worked in falconry, amazing that he got a happy ending
“Let’s go gambling!1!1!1”
“Aw dang it”

EDWARD VI was known for the founding of marvelous schools, known to this day as King Edward VI Grammar Schools.
I know I had the great good fortune to go to one.
Although the structure of those schools has changed, they still exist and provide an unparalleled education to those fortunate nought to have attended them.
My school was founded in around 1430 and was given Royal Charter by King Edward VI in 1552.
This school still exists although now it concentrate on being a VI FORM COLLEGE.
I received a first class education from a superlative faculty drawn from the finest Universities in England.
Interesting, but a small correction: when Anne Boleyn contracted the sweating sickness and nearly died, she wasn’t Henry’s wife yet. I don’t remember wether or not it was before or during their courtship, but it surely wasn’t during their marriage.
Henry VIII wasn't a hypochondriac or germaphobe, he was paranoid and physically unwell. In all honesty he was probably right to avoid sick people given that he most likely had a compromised immune system, as evidenced by the numerous health conditions that plagued him following a severe leg fracture during a tourney.
Having to work in the kitchen sounds like a pretty chill punishment until you watch The Bear and realise it really isn't.
BEHINDETH!
CORNERETH!
that last one is honestly really sweet
Henry wasn't married to Anne Boleyn was ill with the sweating sickness.
The craziest of the kings was found in a car park. What a crazy location.
Wrong king. George III went categorically insane during his reign. Richard III was a stubborn and at least mildly murderous git, but not insane.
@@lysanamcmillan7972 Oh yeah. Cheers, mate.
For those saying richard was a scum bro reread ur history books like 60+% of nobles where worse
👍 An excellent and amazing video. We highly appreciate your effort and informative work. An excellent video it is.
I remember reading about Richard III on a section in the PSATs and then going home later that day to see everyone making memes about it 💀
I remember this weird book when I think a football fan (or something to do with a football stadium) was talking to Richard's ghost and then I think told the person he was under he car park? Would love to find this book and unlock the memory loll, I only remember because of my vivid imagination of the scene while reading
Man, still can't believe they colonised my ancestors
Henry VIII was probably one of the worst kings i've ever heard about.
Nah, he’s not. He was just awful father and awful husband :D
@@tayschannel2695Awful king.
@@AS-yz2iz sociopathic king (like everything just shows what he’s a sociopath, the head trauma, daddy issues, no redeeming qualities, 72000 kill count, and how he quickly changes his opinion on people, on one day he loves someone and on other calls them his worst enemy and tries to kill, like it applies to everyone. Everything needs to fit his ideals, what all go to one category “for my own good” and he don’t cares what those ideals can’t be fulfilled, there is no perfect people on earth (in his sense) there is no beautiful kind sweet virgin untouched good in bed son giving woman what reads your mind and supports everything. He dont loves anyone, like if he loved he would do something for their good. Even his daughter Mary who is called bloody who BURNED CHILDREN is better, even in why she killed. She did what for their good, for her mother, for her sister, even for her victims. She never have done what for herself- like damn even Eliza and Edward are better! Okay I’m done)
@@tayschannel2695 There was a time when Henry was a good man and a good king. It was after he left his lustful desires runoe his behavior that he turned into a tyrant.
I don't believe Mary burned children. She has the people who were plotting to overthrow her executed. Perhaps some innocent people were caught up in that, and that's awful, but she didn't just kill willy nilly. Elizabeth had people executed simply because they were Catholic.
@@AS-yz2iz I read on Wikipedia and other sources which names I can’t remember (really sorry) what she actually did killed children, and Eliza didn’t haunted Catholics much, it was Edward.
I'm American so i was confused for a bit when he said "Car park" cause in the USA we call it a "Parking lot"
Edward the 6th calling the pope an antichrist is so funny to me and just incredible. Knowledgeable lil lad.
Thank you for teaching us these facts.
But why from William the Conqueror ? He wasn't the first King of England.
Anne bolyn wasn't queen when she almost died from sweating sickness in 1526, Henry sent her back to her home when she was still one of Queen Kathryn's ladies in waiting.
Can you guys please make your videos more accessible with subtitles?
Fun series😊
Love the editing so much
Tudors, completed it mate
That last one is actually really cute.
Serious question, why did you include Lady Jane Grey but leave Matilda out of part 1?
Got one fact wrong. Anne Boleyn was not married to Henry the 8th whe she contracted the sweating sickness.
Anne wasn’t his wife when she caught the sweating sickness.
The frog was duke of Anjou right? Elizabeth’s use of her ability to marry in politics was interesting
I need to read that guy's essay
Elizabeth was "briefly" engaged to Robert Dudley, but he lived across the hall from her at the palace for 30+ years and was her designated dancing partner at feasts, so ... yeah.
That last was one was pretty cute
Wow, found in 2012 in a parking lot?! Crazy
I Might be wrong about this: But, I Believe that Anne Boleyn contracted the sleeping sickness Way Before she was Henry’s wife- Also, Im pretty sure that, at that time, King Henry was still trying to win her over, as she had previously left court and went back home to Heaver Castle to stay with her family- And when King Henry found out about her being So Sick, he sent his Second best doctor to tend to her- Now, Even though I have studied all things Tudor England for many years now (Thank you Dr. Susana Lipscome), I Might be totally wrong about this.
Elizabeth’s “frog” fiancé was a French duke which is how “frog” became an insult for French people
Richard the 3rd never killed any of his nephews , in fact one of the nephews reappeard a couple years later to claim his crown but never got it. Richard the 3rd is so misunderstood, thanks to so many authors such as Shakespeare making things up, because it was him who first came up with all the myths that he was a murderer and evil, when he was actually a nice guy.
There’s no proof that Perkin Warbeck was actually one of the Princes in the Tower. His sister, Elizabeth of York, never acknowledged him. He was only supported by Henry’s enemies. Richard most likely killed them since they were never seen again when he had them locked up.
Ribbit! 🐸🐸🐸
To be fair, said Car Park is right next to a church, so he was buried in a cemetery probably.
Henry the 8 was severely sick and in pain , theres an amazing show about it.
I remember them finding the skeleton of Richard the Third was found in the car park. It was in Leicester in the UK.
It is pretty much the only mentionable thing about Leicester.
Ok but I just picture a psychic telling Richard III that one day they would recover his body from under a car park and he would have no clue what that meant.
Henry viii wasn’t married to Anne Boleyn when she contracted the sweating sickness.
this is fire
Probably worth mentioning henry fought a rebellion from a random Belgian guy pretending to be Edward V brother
“Why the pope is an anti christ” all while daddy started a church over lust. 🤭 Ironic, really.
Agreed.
i need to know how you can get duped into starting a rebellion
Anne Boleyn wasn't married to Henry VIII when she contracted the sweat.
I thinking calling my beloved "my frog" would fix me
Poor Edward V and his brother.
Overcharging the queen is craaazy
Question. How many folks would time travel back and live in this timeline? I would consider ngl
Fun fact: During world war I, when king George V changed royal house name from saxe-coburg and gotha to Windsor, Kaiser Wilhelm II remarked, I can't wait to see play Merry wives of Saxe-coburg and gotha😂😂😂😂
Imagine not giving a damn about your king that you build a parking lot without retrieving his body
