Correction: The two wives of Henry VIII that were executed at the Tower were Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard - this grave error somehow got missed and I apologise. I really should know better!

"As he was murdered by his own body - he died of old age" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 whoever writes the scripts must get an award for the randomest comedy because 😂😂😂

I was lucky enough to be a student ambassador to the UK and Ireland. Happened 25 yeas ago and I always look back on that trip fondly. I still order a full English breakfast when I can find it. Y'all got that nailed down perfectly.

I absolutely Love all of your Videos !! And I appreciate all the work you need to put in to create each Video . This was definitely a great one !! So much info . I knew absolutely none of this . Not sure if all of what you shared is common knowledge or not , but I really enjoyed watching and hearing your voice . I think you were born to be a Public Speaker . You just have one of those Perfect Voices that sound great for any type of Narration .
I hope you're doing well and staying safe . Looking forward to your next Video .
🎸

I'd forgotten that there used to be a menagerie at the Tower of London - very interesting and entertaining video! I appreciated the references to Monty Python (It's only a flesh wound!) and Star Trek - 😂. I gotta say, I still do a bit of a double-take when I hear someone refer to the king; I unconsciously still expect to hear "queen ".

As far as i know the menagerie now consists of only ravens. They are not kept in cages though, but are being fed regularly.There is a legend even, which says that as long as ravens stay in the Tower of London it will be safe.

_...higher mortality rate than a redshirt in Star Trek._
Love this. 😄
However, Scotty was also a redshirt in TOS but he wore plot armour. 😎

Another interesting and great video. I just love your storytelling talent. It's always really educational and fun to watch . Thank you!

If I remember correctly, King Richard charged Prince John with causing a foul stench in the monarchy. For that reason, he decreed that all the toilets in the kingdom were to called johns. He then imprisoned Prince John in the Tower of London and made him part of the tour. Right after that he knighted Robin of Locksley and kissed Maid Marian before allowing them to get married. It’s good to be the king.

Damn most likes I've ever got lmao

[qarljohnson]

I am genuinely surprised there was not a mention made of the Tower ravens!
