Explore some of the most marvellously bizarre monarchs to have ruled Britain! Which king's guards massacred a group of his supporters by mistake? Who had an oversized tongue and had to slobber when they ate food? Who was so large when they died that they had to be buried in a square coffin? And who survived seven assassination attempts? It wasn't all thrones and sceptres for British kings and queens. Some monarchs were an icon to the people, while others were completely batty and some were downright vicious. Discover the odd habits and idiosyncrasies of the royals who ruled Britain through bitesize, quirky stories and fascinating facts.
