Oh yes, we knew so little before the internet freed us from ignorance! I detect a touch of sarcasm or tongue in cheek here! Great poem though! I imagine some of the younger people will believe it thoroughly!

I have enjoyed reading your summary of the day Charles effectively became King. It is a marvellous mixture of the personal and the public transfer of authority, a great record of these days!
