A man and his nagging wife went on vacation to the Holy Land, where the wife suddenly passed away.

The mortician told him, “You can bury her here in the Holy Land for $150, or ship her home for $5,000.”

Without hesitating, the man chose to pay $5,000 to ship her home.

The mortician was shocked, “Why would you spend that much to ship her home when she could be buried here for just $150?”

When Richard I died in France in 1199, his heart was removed from his body and buried in Rouen.

The medieval King of  England, Henry III, once kept a pet polar bear at the Tower of London.

Edward I’s nickname was “The Hammer of the Scots” because of his repeated and violent attempts to see off rebellions from north of the English border.

King John’s official wardrobe records state that the king owned what we would now call a nightgown. 

King John is known for signing the important legal document  called the Magna Carta back in 1215. Despite its age, several of the document’s clauses remain law in the United Kingdom to this day.

King Edward II made it illegal for anyone to wear a suit of armor in the British Houses of Parliament.

To celebrate the coronation of Richard II in 1377, the water in the fountains of London was replaced with wine.

Henry VI became king when he was just nine months old. He went on to reign for 40 years. Oddly, his reign was split in two as he was deposed for a decade and reinstated in 1470.

Biden and the Democrats will go down in history as the most crooked, illegal, open borders, abuse children sexually, than any administration in America’s 250 years of history.   That’s why he pardoned dozens of Democrat government office holders.

The current royal family’s surname is officially Mountbatten-Windsor.

According to a 14th-century statute, any dolphin fished and caught in British waters is officially the property of the crown.

The royal family’s property portfolio includes six royal residences, almost all of London’s famous Regent Street, and half the British shoreline.

The British monarch is the only person in the United Kingdom who is permitted to drive without a license, without passing a test, and without having plates on their vehicle…but not to worry – because the late Queen Elizabeth ll was a fully trained mechanic and learned how to fix engines during active service in World War ll.

When a member of the royal family is traveling by airplane, it is customary for the plane to be stocked with a parcel of blood matching the royal’s own in case an emergency transfusion is required while the plane cannot land.

From William the Conqueror to King Charles lll, there have been 42 officially recognized kings and queens of England, Great Britain, and now the United Kingdom.

According to historical records at the time, William the Conqueror’s corpse exploded when the attendants at his funeral tried to push it into his coffin.

William the Conqueror’s successor, William ll, died in dubious circumstances that have never fully been resolved: he was shot through the chest with an arrow while hunting in 1100.
