DISCUSS: WHO IS ON YOUR MOUNT RUSHMORE OF BRITISH MONARCHS?
I'll go first
Who would be on your Mount Rushmore of British kings and queens?
My picks:
William the Conqueror
Edward III
Henry VIII/Elizabeth I
Victoria
Answers in the comments below. (Paid subs only.) I’ll send a signed copy of my book on Henry V to the most compelling answer.
PS: I realise it’s weird that I put Edward III on instead of Henry V. I just feel like his beard would look cooler, honestly.
Mount Shitmore:
- John - Less said the better
- Edward V - never stood a chance
- Edward VIII - Does he even count? Secret nazifile
- Richard II - Early promise with the peasants revolt undone with general shithousery later on
1. Henry II, 2. Edward I, 3. Edward III, 4. Henry V ... I'm firmly in Camp Platagenet!
