I think you have just won the History According to People Who Get All Their Information From Movies contest. Funny thing, but there were at least five English kings named Henry (and quite a few who weren’t) between number II (the Peter O’Toole one who accidently ordered Richard Burton murdered in Canterbury Cathedral) and number VIII, the one who decided that A Man for All Seasons needed to be around ten inches shorter.
Let me see how many guy kings’ names I can remember. (At my familiy Christmas, you say,”Bob” and five guys turn around.)
OK.
George. Edward. of course Henry. Stephen. Richard. Charles. William. Harold. Axelrod(?). James. Alfred. Spanky. Brewster. I give up. Who’d I miss?
As a PS, I always wondered why Helen Mirren’s Queen E.had a cool Duke of Anjou, while Kate Blanchette’s Queen E.got a cross dressing turkey.
Unless she was really being pressured to find a hubbie and they were different dukes, this would probably be a good example of how TV can jam a stick in your spokes, hmmmm?
