I found the poem Henry was reciting to Alex in the V&A, and I'm obsessed with it!
"It rhymes in French." - Henry ?

My current read very entertaining but I never cease to be amazed how bad a system monarchy was for governance and how utterly lacking in dignity the so called nobility were. In every Aristocratic family tree are a bunch of grovelling scyopants who lickspittled their way to wealth and power.

pickThis is basically a fresh look at the Stuart dynasty. The 17th century really was a tumultuous time for England, Scotland and Ireland. The author really digs into the details of religious strife and social upheaval. There‘s plague! There‘s fire! And that‘s just 1666! If you want to know the difference between the Protectorate and the Glorious Revolution this book will set you straight! 🍊👑🔥🐀
