British kings are now television stars


  Welcome to the United Kingdom friendly students! 
(says the monarch with the best hats)


British history has had  some of the most odd and unique Kings and Queens. It's not surprising coming from a country with weird plugs and cars that are driven on the left.

For centuries, British dinasties have been involved in bloody and brutal wars among the noble families competing for the throne. Does this plotline ring a bell? 
Indeed, HBO production Game of Thrones (which you may watch on your computers or Canal + and is already on its 6th season) is inspired in the Wars of the Roses. The Wars of the Roses occurred in the 14th century and it was a fight between the York and the Lancasters.

Wanna know more about the original story? Then click on the video and discover who was who in the real-life version of Game of Thrones. 




Another British royal family is still on vogue today is the Tudors. If you have paid attention to the previous video you would have notice that they came just after the Wars of The Roses. Henry VIII is the most peculiar and terrible British king up to day, having six wives and beheading two of them. In the following video Henry himself will tell you about his wives.

  1. I'm in love with that song! I wish every history lesson was so funny. It makes easy learning about dead monarchs
