Kings and Queens in Medieval Europeに関する最新の話題を丁寧に解説いたします。

Medieval kings made weird rules. King Canute tried to command the tide to stop. He failed. Soaked feet, great story.

King Richard the Lionheart preferred fighting to paperwork. He spent only six months of his ten-year reign in England. The rest? War, crusades, and getting captured for ransom.

King And Queen Middle Ages

Royal Pets (Not What You Think)

King Henry I kept a menagerie of exotic animals. His favorite? A porcupine. He’d feed it apples by hand. Probably got pricked daily.

Queen consort Isabella of France had a pet lion. She’d walk it through the palace on a leash. Talk about a power move.

And King James IV of Scotland once gave a queen a pet polar bear. It fished in the river. The bear. Fishing. Like a royal dog.
