And in the pursuit of my oral, I did a terrible thing.
I slashed Henry the VIII.
Kill me now. Please. It would be a mercy-killing. You'd be doing society a favour, I promise.

And why are kings so slashable with their archbishops of canterbury? Makes no sense. Hm.

Yet another question the world may never know the answer to.

Date: 2003-09-16 11:32 pm (UTC)There are far too many people with the same name for each time period. On our colonial America exam last year, my entire History class decided that if we couldn't remember someone's name, we'd guess that it was either John, Henry, or Thomas. And that all English monarchs were Edward or George.
