As I noted last week it was the birthday of our own dear Queen - the 39th Monarch to rule in England since William the Conqueror did his little bit of invading in 1066. Thanks to Shakespeare I've been able to remember all those Tudor kings and Queens and with the Hanover gang all you have to do is think George. But the rest well...
Fortunately the good folks at Horrible Histories came up with this little ditty to help you remember who came after whom, as it were!
Okay everyone: William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John ....
23 April 1013: Battle of Clontarf: Brian Boru defeats Viking invaders, but is killed in battle.
Well! Now all I have to do is remember the ditty. Thanks for posting it has made my Monday morning.
