Horrible Histories Ruthless Rulers

Lyrics With Thanks To FantasyKaiyo

I'm William the Conqueror, my enemies stood no chance. They called me the first English king, although I come from France. 1066 the doomsday book I gave to history. So fat on death my body burst! But enough about me. To help remember all your kings I've come up with this song. A simple rhyme and ditty for you all to sing aloooong. Oooooo William. [Bit short init? We need more Kings. Who came next?]

William 2nd cheeks were red. Killed out hunting so it said. I took over - Henry 1! -

That's my next eldest son! Then King Stephen it's true, check it!

I'm Henry 2, killed Thomas Beckett. Richard Lionheart, that's right, always sparring for a fight! Oh King John, what a disaster! Rules restrained by Magna Carta!

William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!

Time for my mate King Henry 8 to take up this song!

Henry 3 built the abbey - Edward hated Scots! A red hot poker killed Ed 2, that must have hurt him lots! Edward third was a chivalry nerd, began the hundred years war!

Then Richard 2 was King aged 10. Then Henry, yes one more! King Henry 4 (...) not (...) from Henry 5, moi. I killed 10 (...) in Agincourt. Then Henry 6th arrived!

Edward 4. Edward 5. Richard the Third he's bad! Cause he fought wars with Henry Seventh, first Tudor and my dad! So Henry 8, I was great! 6 wives, 2 were beheaded. Edward the sixth came next but he died young and so I (dreaded?) Daughter Mary ruled so scary, then along came -

Me! I'm Liz the First, I had no kids so Tudors are (...)

William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich too, then three more Henrys join our song!
Edward, Edward, Rich the third, Henry, Henry, Ed again, Mary 1, Good queen Bess - That's me! (...) more men!

James sixth of Scotland next is English James the First he led. Then Stuarts ruled so Charles the First- the one that lost his head.

No monarchy until came me, Charles 2, I liked to party! King Jimmy 2 was scary ooo, then Mary was a smarty! She ruled with (......) and so by then you were ruled by men-

Till along came Queen Victoriaaaa!

William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich too, then three more Henrys join our song!
Edward, Edward, Rich the third, Henry, Henry, Ed again, Mary 1, Good queen Bess, Jimmy, Charles, And Charles and then, Jim, Will, Mary, Anne a Gloria

Still to come it's Queen Victoria!

And so began the Hangover gang! George 1 and George 2

Grim, then George the third was quite absurd.

Till I replaced old him!

King George the Fourth known henceforth as angry, fat and cross!

Hang on!

It's true! You beat Napoleon but were mostly a dead loss.

Bang on!

Old William 4 was a sailor -

Ahoy!

- It's nearly the end of the storya. As onto the scene comes the best of Queen, Hail to Queen Victoriaaaaa!

William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich too, then three more Henrys join our song!
Edward, Edward, Rich the third, Henry, Henry, Ed again, Mary 1, Good queen Bess, Jimmy, Charles, And Charles and then, Jim, Will, Mary, Anne a Gloria. George, George, George, George, Will, Victoria - Victoooooiraaaaa!

I ruled for 64 years, you know. Aged 7, George 5 and Ed aged 6, those two then reigned and how! And so our famous (...) is brought right up to noooow.

Ooooooooo

William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich too, then three more Henrys join our song!
Edward, Edward, Rich the third, Henry, Henry, Ed again, Mary 1, Good queen Bess, Jimmy, Charles, And Charles and then, Jim, Will, Mary, Anne a Gloria. George, George, George, George, Will, Victoria
Edward, George, Edward, George 6th, And Queen Liz 2 completes the mix!

That's all the English Kings and Queens since William First that therere been!

@MissLemonPeel "William the Conqueror became King of England in 1066, and he was the first in a long line of English Kings and Queens"

"They call me the first English King, although I come from France"

I'd say that IS saying he was!

[TheBumbleBunny]

@13Gom I know -.- annoys me...

[MissLemonPeel]

@Inkyminkyzizwoz They are not saying that William was the first king, they are just starting the song from him



[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@MultiBelle22 I thought that's what you were doing - I was just adding to it!

[MultiBelle22]

@13Gom People don't count her as a queen because Mary 1st refused to recognise her as Queen of England!

[MultiBelle22]

@Inkyminkyzizwoz Ah, I see! Then you should have posted to whoever put the lyrics up, not me

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@MultiBelle22 It's just that the lyrics in the description for that bit are wrong!

[MultiBelle22]

@Inkyminkyzizwoz I know that - that's why I didn't mention it!
