OT trivia, but you know how Eskimos are supposed to have dozens of words for "snow", because they're ass-deep the stuff 24/7? Brazilians have 2,000 words for cachaça. For a similar reason.

If we go 24 hours without <i>something</i> about nekkid ladies, we're overdue.

The first Plantagenet King was Henry II. The Tudors replaced the Plantagenet kings when Henry VII beat Richard III in 1485. Henry IV was the first King of the House of Lancaster. The Tudors were of that branch of the Plantagenet family, albeit through an illegitimate line.

Nah, they'd probably just cut his nose off, like the Byzantines.

The Byzantines did ears sometimes too, but if the kid ends up with Charles' ears ...

It's not like "mother of the current Monarch" is that difficult of a concept, and while the part about having once been Queen Consort is a little more involved, it doesn't really come up that often as most of the time the monarch's mum will have been Queen.

You have my deepest sympathy. May I respectfully suggest that you resolve to never, ever, write anything about the bloody Windsors again? I, for one, would be in your debt.
