As an expert on British royalty, I can say that you're thinking of Henry the 8th.

Gotcha, the one who sent Columbus to Canada.

And that's where Ohio was discovered!

HISTORY!

So you want to know about Henry VIII?

The Restoration;

Henry wanted the Pope to give him a divorce from his first wife, Katherine. He wanted this because
a) she was Arrogant
b) he had married her a long time ago
c) when she had a baby it turned out to be Broody Mary, and Henry wanted a boy.
d) he thought it would be a Good Thing.
The Pope however refused, and seceded with all his followers from the Church of England. This was called the Restoration.

The Monasteries

One of the strongest things that Henry VIII did was about the monasteries. It was pointed out to him that no one in the monasteries was married, as the Monks all thought it was still the Middle Ages. So Henry, who of course considered marrying to be a Good Thing, told Cromwell to pass a very strong Act saying that the Middle Ages were all over and the monasteries were to be dissolved. This was called the Disillusion of the Monasteries.

"1066 and all that", W.C Sellars and R.J. Yeatman, ch31

Henry the 8th was fat and he ate turkey legs.

He wanted another baby-mama.

He drank.

So he invented Episcopalians. Where they have followed that tradition to this day.

Broody Mary is DB's favourite hangover remedy.

Duh!...the answer is a)!
....obviously.

Everyone knows her name was 'Catherine of Arrogant'.

So easy.

Are you sure it wasn't Karen of Arrogant?

Bitches be crazy, even in the Middle Ages.

Quite right, and his other wives were Anne of Cloves, Lady Jane Austen, and Anne Hathaway (p61).

Pretty sure women in the middle ages are referred to as 'murder hornets'.

Nice try!
...'Anne Hathaway' was Mr. Drysdale's secretary in The Beverly Hillbillies.

Skool!
Try some, sometime!

Did she make that movie before or after she married William Shakespeare?

I think before, because she's done porn since then.

Right...she also danced topless at the Globes theater.

Reading the standard DD/MM/YY on your official day of “Independence” celebrations brings a smile to every Brit who knows a true victory is won by the subtle symbolism we seeded.

Tomorrow you go back to MM/DD/YY and are none the wiser to our gag and pure bantz.
