Boy they must have been really torqued to have wanted to dig him up and kill him again

I could have sworn that I had that head tucked away in my workshop. Oh well, it must be somebody else’s head. I’m guessing that I’m now out of the running for Antiques Roadshow.

I'm Henry the Fourth, I am I am

Been separated from my body before,

It's buried at the church next door.

“Perfumers on the team used their professionally trained noses to identify specific embalming substances in the mouth used to hide nasty odors.”

That seals the deal for me.

Must've been when they weren't doing wine tasting....

Jeez, two assassination attempts? And that's only what the article mentions.

It's not good to be king.

also known as the “Green Gallant,”

after this, I don’t wonder.

I don't think there is any doubt that Henry IV was the father of Louis XIII, but there is some doubt as to whether Louis XIV was really the biological son of Louis XIII. I don't know if Louis XIV's remains are still in existence or whether they were destroyed during the French Revolution--if they are still in existence and they can get some DNA from Henry IV's skull, they might be able to answer the question of Louis XIV's paternity.

An American state is named after a daughter of Henry IV--Maryland.

Was there EVER a Royal, in any country, that was exempt from assassination or the attempt thereof? I think not. My genealogy is full of them.

It's a wonder there were any offspring. Oh. Wait. They were, after all, a bunch of egotists...

[Tzimisce]

Imagine finding that under your Xmas tree? The embalmed head of the French King?

Gross.

The French Revolution and French Revolutionaries provide an intersting contrast with our own situation.

THey were vicious, murderous, Godless, iconoclasts.

In my opinion, so far, we have been the ONLY nation to get it right.

I think the attachment of our Founding Fathers to the God of the Old and New Testament is the main reason.

And the loss of that attachment is the main reason we are in the mess we are in now.
