    Is this the "#WhoKilledKingJohn?" guy?

    The version of "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?", "He doesn't have to say it, we just know what he means", Trump's coded calls for violence, contained in this performance was all too relevant.

    Even when the placeholders were a #PotatoMasher and a wooden #MeatTenderisingHammer.

  6. Archaeologists search for King John’s lost treasure after 800 years

    Archaeologists are gearing up to search for King John’s legendary lost treasure.

    The saga of King John’s treasure traces back to 1216 when, amid the chaos of war, his baggage train carrying the English Crown Jewels was swallowed by the unpredictable tides of Wash Bay in Norfolk...

    #13thCentury #realpolitik article!

    including this splendid image of #KingJohn holding a model of #Beaulieu abbey.

    Legend says that he founded it after a quarrel with the #Cistercian order & subsequent nightmare of being beaten by monks. Gratitude & prayers ensued!

  12. #OTD in 1215 the #MagnaCarta was sealed by King John of #England. That same month, 5,000 miles away, #GenghisKhan conquered #Beijing. These otherwise unconnected events represent turning points in the world’s two most influential power centers, whose reach once exceeded 20 million sq. miles. But they overlap only in the 427 sq. miles of Hong Kong, now the Magna Carta's final battle ground.

  13. Here's #MyShakespeareWinter part 15 of 37:

    I move on from the comedies to the histories with #KingJohn, a riotous play of squabbling royals, the wiseass bastard son of Richard Cœur-de-Lion, a captive prince threatened with a hot poker in the eyes. Too bad about the abrupt ending

  14. It just occurred to me that I've always unconsciously conflated King John (who "was not a good man") with the king who could not get any butter for his royal slice of bread ("There, there"), and his whole character makes a lot more sense now! 😆 #medieval #KingJohn #AAMilne
